“For he that is not against us is on our part.” Mark 9:40 (KJV)
Here is a position from my game with an up and coming young chess player, Jason Loving. It was black to move here but just imagine that it was white to move and find the best move…
When Jason reached for his rook, I could hardly contain myself. I thought that I really shouldn’t be at the table now, as he is going to see my excitement. However, if I leave now, that might tip him off too, as why would I leave the table right when he is making his move? So, I sat there with my hand over my mouth trying to muffle the squeals of delight, as I imagined my brilliant tactic appearing in another issue of Tactics Time. I know the game was only G90, but it still felt like Jason hovered over that rook for about 2 hours. His idea was Rhd8. He would allow the fork (Qg5+) and move the king out of check to not only protect the pawn but also get his king out of the center and connect his rooks. However, something made him pull that hand back…
