MSK Chess's video: Chess : Piece co-ordination Capablanca v Lasker

Chess is without doubt a team game whereby all the pieces cooperate with one another as the march of logic progresses to complete the ultimate task of checkmate. It is as far as I can discern generally understood that even if there is a material deficit on the chessboard well coordinated pieces coupled with the initiative will almost always triumph. This is in part due to the fact that it will be difficult for your opponent to find the correct moves and secondly that even in the case of a pawn deficit its not unusually enough to win as the pawn has literally no intrinsic value in the middle game and even may be of little decisive value in the endgame. The chess video features an extract from a game played in Moscow between Capablanca with the white pieces and Lasker with the black pieces. Capablanca plays a wonderful move showing contempt for a material deficit and co-ordinates his pieces so well that Lasker is unable to cope with the pressure of the initiative. The amateur game is taken from the wonderful chess site expert-chess-strategies.com and is well worth a visit. Once again it is my hope that the video will provide a little more insight into the strategies which lie behind a chess game for the benefit of all = regards MSK Chess https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess http://www.chess.com/blog/robbie_1969... chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
