    The key point of this part:

    • To take is mistake:

    If you have studied any of the GM Igor's previous chess lessons you will know already that to take is a mistake and let your opponent be the one who releases this tension.

    This lesson focus on the first secret of a strong chess player: they understand the rule that to take is a mistake. It may sound rather simple but most players do not follow this rule or do not know about it. What they actually do is the opposite thing and they take whenever they can. Why do so many players make this mistake?

    • Offense is the best defense:

    You know already that to take is a mistake but in some position it is indeed not the best option.

    In this lesson GM Igor smirnov compares chess as a tug-of-war competition. Each side is trying to pull the rope in their own direction and the side who does it stronger will win the competition. A similar thing happens in chess. Each player is trying to pull the game in the direction that he wants, and the one who does it more insistently will win the game.

    Learn the second secret of a strong chess player : offense is the best defense. While you might have heard this several times in the past, without any real understanding of this idea the rule by itself is rather useless. It relates more to your deep understanding of the chess game and the adoption of the proper approach.
