Chess 4 All: Solving combinations in Chess is a great way to improve your game in general. This class is to sort of practice what we learned in our last lesson. Remember that a combination is a forcing variation, that normally includes a sacrifice, to benefit the player executing it. I am not that concerned about the sacrifice part although we have to be open to that possibility. However, we really have to look for FORCING variations. Last class was the beginning of a new level for your game in general, but more specifically it has to do with tactics because combinations are made up of different tactical ideas such the fork, pin, skewer, and others that you have not learnt yet. When I first learned this concept, I did not memorize the whole definition and I do not expect you to either. As long as you understand the idea and are able to identify the patterns and use them in your games, it all will be fine.

Benefits of Playing Chess:
​- Promotes brain growth
- Increases problem-solving skills

- Raises your IQ
- Sparks your creativity
- Teaches planning and foresight

- Helps treat ADHD

Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battle field.

Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant —especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.

We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent's mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

Love your channel, incredible degree of training and tutoring for free, unheard of these days. Thank you!

Quick question on this lesson:

The puzzles were seeded at 3000, but I scored a clean 16 of 16, with very little effort and I am (or was) a mere 1570 rating. How was that possible? Either I'm getting really bloody good, or these puzzles were not actually at 3000 strength. I am assuming the latter and wondering what the actual ranking was?

Thanks again for the great content. Hope you see this, since it's nearly 2 years past the original publication date. 🙂

I was able to solve all but the last one. I am usually able to solve these puzzles, but in my games, I have trouble getting any kind of a strong attack going and I usually lose. Thank you so much for giving this training. My games are still weak, but I keep trying.
