| PiOverlord 12/10/20 1:11:33 PM #40: | Also, this is the first book I have been extensively using to improve my tactics. Considering we all probably suck just enough to the point where we or our opponents will generally fail to take advantage of any sort of gains the Opening would provide us, this is a great list of subjects to go over to improve your middle game where a lot of the magic will happen for us new folks: Chess Tactics Explained in English: Ward Farnsworth's Predator at the Chessboard: chesstactics.org It is all free, which is the best part!!! I bought this $64 dollar beginner course like two days ago, and I'm not going to lie, after looking what it will cover (basic openings, some middle-game stuff, and basic endgames), I feel extremely ripped off compared to Predator at the Chessboard. I guess I am hoping the annotations will help me out with the other one, but as I said, for most of us, openings don't matter nearly as much as the middle-game since we all are blundering machines anyways, but at least recognizing a tactic or getting mate patterns in our head will help us ultimately win games, you know. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 29; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...
