YouTube brings the wonder of technology to us: People, this is actual teaching of chess! I am sorry for the old-fashioned, but this has to be the way to speed up learning in chess. My father had tons of books of strategy and I confess I at most flipped over them despite his insistence. I love playing games, sports, and, in special, chess, squash, and volleyball, but I cannot stand studying the theory of chess, quite sincerely. This is pure revolution.
In five minutes watching one of the most interesting games of Kasparov, the one he played with Topalov in 1999, I have learned more than during all the games I have already played with even frequent simultaneous experts from very traditional chess clubs (Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande). Look, if there is a way to improve the quality of chess playing, it can only be via these means.
Nothing can beat visual, and the remarks help quite a lot if we can see it all, I reckon. We still experience several difficulties, which make learning of the art boring, such as the tediousness of the board and pieces.
I learned, for instance, that castling is not a big deal, since they both leave that for about the second fourth of the game. I learned that a daring move, such as putting both main pawns to the front, maximum stretch, is a good thing if you cover that with your horse and bishop.
This frontally opposes what I have been telling you so far, which is basically what I have learned from my dear father, and he had studied all those books I talked about here. Shocking! Kasparov's spirit has simply killed my father in five minutes! Five minutes and the respect I had for him in terms of chess is quite shaken. Damn Kasparov! I wish I had never met you in my life, but, ops, I haven't! You, killer of teacher-dads!
I would say my father played Safe Chess, like what you should do to have a better chance of winning if you are an amateur. Kasparov obviously plays Holy Chess. You know, there is Safe Driving and there is Holy Driving, I suppose. All Tom Cruise's doubles must be on the second category, I reckon.
Basically, you are risking yourself in a never yet exploited terrain, so say a girl or a boy you are getting to know. You will then practice Safe Sex. You have been in a relationship, sure that they are your partner and you are their partner: You then have Holy Sex. The difference is the pleasure encountered: The former may never happen, but the latter will probably last forever and you can still repeat and get the same feeling of completeness with your experience each time.
Holy Chess means skills, means depth, and means you will not be easily beaten, but, if you are beaten, then you know it is a process of pursuing depth and intimacy, so that eventually you will also pass that mark.
