While following chess games played by grandmasters game is not played till end. How to predict subsequent move?
Posted on May 25, 2010 under games | 3 CommentsWhile following historical games of chess played by grandmasters like Vishvanathan Anand it is observed they are not played till end but either settle for a draw or concede defeat after set of moves.. For average playersattimes it is difficult to guess subsequent moves and reason for ending the game abruptly. How to get these moves so that there is no other result possible than one agreed to by the players?
Many times you can find the notes from the players themselves after the game is completed and they will explain the various continuations based on the candidate moves they were considering. Also, other Grand Masters will analyze the games as well. Especially if they are from Championship matches or they see them as being very instructive.
You can find the analysis of historical games in books with collections of Grand Master games. You can find up to date analysis of recent games on chess sites like Internet Chess Club, Chess radio, Chess.com and other sites you can google.
As a suggestion to help you improve, you should try to analyze what the possible continuations would be for them to come to that conclusion and then compare their notes and other GM’s analysis to see how close you were. This can be very instructive.
Hope that helps
