Welcome to Pudddletown's December Seminar with FIDE master and Women International Master Zoey Tang!

There are two winning scenarios in chess: win yourself or let your opponent lose. You can win a game without showing good play, but it is impossible to win without an opponent's mistake. In a sense, the strategy for success in chess is not to make mistakes yourself (or at least less than your opponent) and force him to do so.

It will pay off for a club player to learn the strategic pros and cons of them and, subsequently, to either employ this variation with black or to learn better how to tackle it with white in practical tournament games.
