Subject: Intersting Game !! .. Analysis anyone
Hello All,
This is the game I played with one of my online chess friend.He is good
in general. I lost the game in the end. We did little bit of Postmortem
and he said that for Attack Light Coloured Bishops is important for
White and dark coloured bishop is important for Black. Is this true?? I
lost the game from what seems to me a winning position . May be I got
excited and I blew the oppurtunity.

Hello Antonio,

Thanks for elaborating on the matter. Perhaps my friend was taught by
some chess coach that way or he generalised it by playing many games
with same thinking.
But if you play Sicllian Dragon then you must keep your Bishop as black
to survive. Nevertheless having pieces near to king usually means
better safety, especially Knight.
Could you guide me how to improve my endgame skills and positional
knowledge as the most games I play ,I lost them in endgame may be lack
of sound endgame techniques is causing the trouble.

With Warm regards
Jatinder Singh

Simply curious, ... in oczy bind versus "Sicilian Dragon" thare are
some lines where white prefer not to exchange his Be3 bishop for the Bg7
one (and to play Bd4 or Bh6 is considered a positional mistake).
In those positions the play is focussed in queen wing and black Bg7 has
no targets (b3, c4, Rc1, were played).

With that I mean that in chess every rule can have his counter-example.

The best mothod to improve is to analize all those troubles to you
refer. You can analize them and then post here.

For example, you wrote you though you had a winning endgame in the game
you posted in the original message. ...
You can post here your analysis (post-mortem plus later discoveries, ...
human analysis is preferable) and sure many people in RGCA will
contribute to understand better that ending.

Hello Antonio,
Thanks for giving your insight on the game. Well regarding "Attack
Light Coloured Bishops" ,what my friend means to say that if you are
playing with white pieces then you must protect your light coloured
bishop . Simply stating one must protect King's Bishop as it is
important for attack as well as defence for both sides.
"ynr" in my nickname stands for my native place.

The concept "Attack Light Coloured Bishops" sound strange to me.

I have read sometinhg about light square strategy when we are speaking
about lines where white plays e4, d5. But it seems your friend as
speaking about a very different case.

I suppose it is too dare to state any preference for a piece in chess.
I'm sure we can find examples for any piece.
There are some examples where white best plan is to exchange this
bishop, I am thinking in:
- some "Old Benoni" lines.
White plays Bb5 to exchange his bad bishop for the good one for black
(white has pawns in e4, d5 and that makes his bishop bad)
- some lines of "French Tarrasch with ....c5" .
White plays the move Bb5 to exchange it for the Bd7 exchanging pieces in
an little favourable ending versus an IPQ.
- Sicilian with f3.
After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.f3 e5 6.Bb5 Bd7? is
considered bad for black because this exchange favours white.

...

And respect to "ynr": I supposed it was for the city/state yo live or
you was born and I asked if I could know what was it.

I do not understand what does "Attack Light Coloured Bishops" mean.
It seems very strange to me.

I think this game is an example between the fight of central majority
versus flank majority in an ending.
I think the ending was better for white (in this case I prefer the
central pawns with better pieces for white).

There are some tactical mistakes during the game (20.Qb2 wins a piece,
21...Rxe4 wins a pawn, ...). The game was decided by 42.Kf3? mistake
which loses an important pawn but white had easy ways earlier for
increase his advantage attacking the f7 pawn with 36.Rd7! or the line
38.Rb6! b4 39.Nd6! followed by Rb5-b7 or Rc6-c7.

Antonio,

Ps What does "ynr" mean in your nick?
