re:Tactical vs. Positional Chess - 2005/12/13 14:17
Perhaps a few excerpts from 1 of Fine`s books shall help:
"Anderssen`s style: sacrifice, attack, with reason whether possible, but if not, sacrifice, attack. ... the positional ideas that are the foundation of present-day chess came somewhat later. ... Steinitz established the principles of position predominantly play, esspecially the supreme importance of the center ... Moreover it was the position smoothly play that Steiniutz developed in such magnmificent detail that won him his victories. As you may expect the second match with Zuketrort ... Last is a case in point. Zukertort ... took too many chances with his pawn structure. In this game we have an example of how Steinitz outmanbeuvered him by simple positional principles. ... Steinitz is legitimately clear about his goals - exchange and head for the ending, when [Zukertort`s] weak pawns will be indefensible."
