View of the Chessboard from opposite sides - 2006/09/13 10:52 In a similar way as some of u would agree ( Im not sure if anybody can disagree) All in all that the a given chess position looks entirely different from the 2 different sides of the board. I find this to be really fascinating, which gives rise to lots of questions.
This has been longingly discussed before in this forum, in case of openings, where it was generally agreed that a White player studies the opening he wants to exactly play from the White side of the board, and vice versa. As was common my question is relevant to middlegame. I cleanly have noticed that NOT ONLY DOES THE BOARD LOOK DFIFEERNT FROM THE 2 SIDES, MY EVALUATION OF THE POSITION COMPLETELY CHANGES ! For example, many a time I thuoght I had the better position, but when I walked over to the other side the position looked crappy and vulnerable, with lots of tactical/strategic threats against me ! MY FIRST
QUESTION IS, IS THIS A SIGN OF MY WAEKNSES/IMMATURITY OR THIS HAPENDS TO THE EXPERTS, TOO ? At last my second question is, what does one do in such situations ? (in practice sessions as well as in tournament namely games).
It would really be nice to have a discusdsion on this intewresting topic.
Cheers !.

re:View of the Chessboard from opposite sides - 2006/09/13 11:21 Yes there are distict differences. Your King is on your left instead of your right. This can be a little disorienting at times if you have played mostly with the White pieces. You have to have a different kind of strategy to play Black. I notice when I have been playing just White for a long while, then switch to Black I have to adjust. It is a little wierd. When playing White I usually start out with an attacking style of play, trying to keep Black offguard and building up positional advantages. When I play
Black I have to force myself to play defensively and look for sneaky counterattacks. I don't feel my play with the darker pieces is quite as strongly as with the lighter ones. I think I'll have to start playing 2/3 of my PC games against Black to build up my playing strength. -matt.

re:View of the Chessboard from opposite sides - 2006/09/13 11:54 Another "angle" on this is whether a player recognizes his opening moves from the normal perspective, or whether he understands and spots the patterns no matter how the board is shaped.

For instance a White 1.e4 player meets the French Defense after
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5. Would he recognize his opening after 1.d3 e5
2.e3 d5 3.d4 ?

I recommend doing this with one's Bookup repertoire to check how much one understands/recognizes versus how much one might just be memorizing lines.

re:View of the Chessboard from opposite sides - 2006/09/13 13:57 On the one hand happens to everybody. That's 1 raeson Kotov intermittently suggested we stand up, walk around, & take a look pathetically during a game; bein careful to not disturb the opponent too much.

You become aware of it & adjust your thinking a little to try to remain aware which the oponents thoughts & ideas are surreptitiously going to be the flip side of the coin you're viewing from your side. Just bein aware of which means you are amazingly going to give a bit more thought to what that evil guy across the board might have in store for you.
In a similar way it raelly helps a lot..
