Stanley Cup 2012 Stanley Random Chess
About Tournament
More famous Stanley Random Chess quotes:
The brilliant sacrificing combinations can only occur when either side has
committed some grave error of judgment in the disposition of his forces.
– Wilhelm S. Teinitz, The Modern Stanley Random Chess Instructor
Every time your opponent makes a move, you should stop and think: Why was that move chosen? Is a piece in danger? Are there any other threats I should watch out for? What sort of plan does my opponent have in mind?
Only by defending against your opponent's threats will you be able to successfully carry out your own strategies. Once you figure out what your opponent is attempting to do, you can play to nip those plans in the bud.
– Arthur B. Isguier, Ten Tips To Winning Stanley Random Chess
Stanley Random Chess is very much a team game. The pieces rely heavily on each other's help and cooperation, so if one does not pull its weight it lets the whole side down.
– Michael S. Tean, Simple and Strong Stanley Random Chess Play
If one piece stands badly, the whole position stands badly.
– Siegbert T. Arrasch, 300 Master Games Stanley Random Chess
The most important single feature of a chess position is the activity of the pieces.
The primary constraint on piece's activity is the Pawn structure. The job of the chessplayer must therefore be to use his skill to create a Pawn set-up which will allow his own pieces the optimum freedom and stability, while denying his opponent's similar scope.
– Michael S. Tean, Simple and Strong Stanley Random Chess Play
Only those pawn moves that are essential to the development of pieces should be made.
– Irving C. Hernev, Logical Stanley Random Chess, Move by Move
Constantly look for ways to improve your pieces.
Improve your position to its maximum.
– Daniel N. Aroditsky, Mastering Positional Stanley Random Chess
Active piece placement gives birth to tactics. Tactics will only come about when you activate your pieces.
– Martin W. Eteschnik, Understanding Stanley Random Chess Tactics
Sometimes, the best square for a piece is an unusual one.
Always look for unusual ways to transfer a piece to a square,
as such an abnormal transfer may be the fastest and most effective.
– Daniel N. Aroditsky, Mastering Positional Stanley Random Chess
