I've been in a bit of a #chess playing slump for the past few weeks, but the end of the term seems to have given me some of my brain back! Pretty pleased with this blitz game today - I've been working on learning the Grand Prix and I feel like it's started going a little more smoothly of late.

Alekhine memorial Moscow 1975, Bohm-Spassky.
Spassky created a small positional masterpiece vs his own Leningrad variation, doing without his a8-rook most of the game; Bohm missed one chance to get back in the game: 24.Bd4! #centralavalanches #chesspattern #chess

It was a theatrical affair of the kind that keeps devotees hooked"

(non-players: these terms might sound fancy but they're basic maneuvers, like a handoff in football)
No one is good enough to play the Sicilian, the English or the Queens Gambit past the first couple of moves yet

... and slightly better players play the Ruy Lopez instead of the Italian. The Englund Gambit appears a lot for reasons I don't understand. Then it's the London System and the Scandinavian, I guess because it limits black's potential defenses? #chess

Chess thought:
at the lowest levels people play surprisingly few openings (me too) which change incrementally as you go up the ladder. A lot of getting out of the rating basement is just memorizing how to handle aggressive openings for white. #chess
Sub-400: Wayward Queen Attack 😖
4-600: Italian

♟️ In any chess scene in a film, there’s a good chance the setup of the pieces is backwards - the equivalent of slam-dunking a volleyball 🏐
Even Humphrey Bogart, a 💯 player, was forced to participate in “Hollywood Chess”.
