What was the previous function of the piece your opponent just moved? Look for overlapping ideas that can be applied from different variations (tactical themes and key in-between moves such as checks and threats). (After your opponent's last move check for tactics, threats and captures as your tactical sight is at its height in the first minute you look at the new position.)Įxamine the most forcing order of moves look at all of the possible Checks, Captures and Threats - both yours and your opponent's - to avoid eliminating possible good candidate moves and to identify potential tactical threats.Ĭalculate until there are no more forcing moves.Īre there new possibilities in the position for tactical or positional exploitation? What did the Opponent's Last Move Change about the Position? And when those are established, discoveries may lead to a modification of our entire strategy. For it is here we access the strategic gains that may be made with tactical means. Any interesting moves are sent to level three for a tactical health check (blunder-check).Īlong with the blunder-check the moves that go to level three are looked at in more detail. Employ the scanning technique to cover every piece and pawn on the board (you could do the same for your opponent). If that reveals no clearly best move, you move up to level two, where creative thought suggest moves that may help with strategic objectives.
You start at level one, sorting out the immediate tactics of the position.
Arrange your thoughts in a hierarchical structure.
