Exploiting Weaknesses Winning Chess Strategies chess games are won and lost in the fight to create, attack and exploit each other’s weaknesses.

A weakness can be of pawns, pieces, squares, files, on colour complexes – and so on.

Exploiting Weaknesses

Cyrus Lakdawala tackles this multifaceted term, making it approachable for anyone wishing to learn how to find and exploit the soft spots in their opponent’s camps.

Old guys like me always believe that “ago” is so much better than “today”. I remember when chess engines and databases became available in the 1990s, and I foolishly thought:

“This great leap forward will usher in a Golden Age of easy study!” I was wrong. Today, the misguided tendency is for club-level players to study data in bulk rather than focusing

on easy-to-grasp concepts, which leave an imprint on the mind and whose patterns we are capable of remembering. The aim of this book – and this series in general –

is to master chess themes efficiently by understanding concepts rather than dealing with concrete details. The key focus of this book will be technical endgames.

In large part, we will try to clarify an ever-confusing question: what exactly is a weakness in chess? Weaknesses generally arise as unintended consequences from either overestimation of our

position or a lack of vision of how the optimistic present will soon become the unpleasant future. That is obviously not a fully satisfactory answer, but that’s the catch: there isn’t a simple one.
