“When I use the word ‘sharp’ to describe an opening, it
doesn’t always have the same life-or-death connotation as a
sharp tactical middlegame position—although it might! Sharp
openings are concrete, subject to rigorous analysis and prepa-
ration to find the very best moves at every point. If you don’t
have the time to study, sharp openings like the Sicilian and
the Grunfeld aren’t for you!”
“I’m really not superstitious, but like many players I enjoy a
sense that the goddess of chess, Caissa, is watching over us
players and punishing those who betray her traditions and
precepts!”

Ukrainian-Soviet Grandmaster David Bronstein came as close
as one can get to becoming world champion without achieving
the highest title. He drew a world championship match against
the mighty Botvinnik in 1951, but the champion retained the
title with a draw. Bronstein would remain one of the strong-
est and most creative players in the world for many years. He
was also fascinated by the early chess computers and is likely
the first Grandmaster ever to play a real game against one, on
a Soviet M-20 mainframe computer in 1963. Garry discusses
Bronstein and this game in his 2017 book
Deep Thinking.

While his passion for the game of chess was still developing,
Garry read and was inspired by Soviet Grandmaster David
Bronstein’s
200 Open Games.

“Tabiya” is a Russian term that loosely means a “starting
point” in a chess opening. Both players know the opening line
and are content to play the known moves until the tabiya is
reached. In some of the more deeply analyzed openings, like
some lines of the Sicilian or Ruy Lopez, this might be well
beyond move 20.

Garry refers to “Fischer’s 960,” a chess variant also known
as Fischerandom Chess or shuffle chess. The pawns stay in
their usual places, but the pieces are scrambled for each game,
which eliminates traditional opening preparation. (There are
960 possible starting positions in this version.) Chess960
maintains some popularity, but has failed to replace classical
chess, as Bobby Fischer hoped it would when he promoted his
version of the variant in 1996.

discusses control of the center, king safety, development, and
common mistakes you should avoid.
