It's amazing sometimes one can draw inspiration from watching nature videos.<BR/><BR/>wang: Thanks!<BR/><BR/>greg: I see you have a fond liking of the Petrosian squeeze. <BR/><BR/>I myself like dynamic counter-play. If a position looks tense, I would slowly pile on the pressure, increase the tension, let my opponent calculate everything then when my opponent thinks that things are starting to calm down, I throw a spanner into the works. Mayhem usually ensues. I find in such situations, the better tactician tends to win.tanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248501580728956514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-80712176079775623372008-04-30T03:21:00.000+10:002008-04-30T03:21:00.000+10:00One day, I watched a hawk subdue another bird in o...One day, I watched a hawk subdue another bird in our backyard. It had stunned the other bird by swooping down on it, and was standing above the prey with its talons around the bird's throat. And there it stayed, calmly and methodically squeezing the life out of the injured bird, until it was dead. I realized that is how I like to play chess - get an advantage, take my time, give up no counterplay, and patiently squeeze until resignation or mate.<BR/><BR/>I suspect we could find a fair number of similar analogies for different types of players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-19942826163974049472008-04-29T04:11:00.000+10:002008-04-29T04:11:00.000+10:00Very nicely put!Very nicely put!wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810798413949148423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-69288022126924093532008-04-28T05:48:00.000+10:002008-04-28T05:48:00.000+10:00Interesting comparison.

They probe for weaknesses and attack from the sides.likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-73131333685261776322008-04-27T15:37:00.000+10:002008-04-27T15:37:00.000+10:00That was one cool comparison.
