TASK 23: Find the defence for Black. Time to think: 3 to 5 minutes.

33...♖d6! 34.c7 ♖g1+ 35.♔f2 ♖g2+ with a draw.

The game ended as follows:

33...♖d1+! 34.♖xd1 ♘c2+ 35.♔f1 ♘e3+ 36.♔e1 ½-½

I would stress this point: We need to cultivate our analytical skills to search for truth in all its glory without letting our shortcomings (laziness, lack of curiosity, etc.) get in the way. Bring out as many of the facts about the position into the open as you can, and, in the process, grow stronger. This is the best way to learn and improve our skills in chess.

We should be curious to know how our mind works and enhance its performance by adding more tools to its thinking and analytical processes. Initially, we lit a fire by rubbing stones against each other, which was a great find at that point. But, we did not stop there and grew by developing more complex forms like matchboxes, lighters, etc., progressively. This made our life easier!

We found a solution to the problem we were facing at that point, but we should never stop there. We should also never stop the quest of finding lasting solutions that may sometimes be simple, sometimes complex, or a mixture. The larger our arsenal of ideas, the better-equipped we are to deal with them!

Let us check an example in chess terms. Let’s say a player begins with the Exchange Variation against the French Defence and initially scores very well with it. There may be a tendency for him to get satisfied and keep this line as his main repertoire, but he lacks the idea of growth or learning the main lines. Under different circumstances of advancing to a slightly higher level, he might be unequipped entirely to achieve good results against stronger opposition because of his limited opening choice.

This quest for growing from simple to complex, and finally the whole thing becoming simple again, led man to come up with matchboxes, lighters, cooking gas, turbines, boilers, engines, etc. We evolved from simple to complex. Complexity is not something we should be afraid of in the long run. From complexity, things eventually become simpler.

My iPhone 11 is more complex and has more features than my iPhone 1. Which is easier to use? On which phone can we get more things done?

Our current low competence level should not scare us from evolving from simple to complex. With adequate training, we can accumulate the complex skills required to handle the complex challenges we face. This is the way to become more robust and show real growth.

Let us now see many interesting positions for different levels of players in the following pages.
