Transpositions in openings - 2005/11/07 19:28
I just added to http://www.learnabunch.com/bdco/bdco_home_page.htm a few pages of reports on transpositions that occur in chess openings. The new transposition main page there is http://www.learnabunch.com/bdco/bdco_transpositions.htm For example, someone might be looking for an example of an opening transposition, and they want to make an example of one that is often played by strong players, because an example that is actually often played by strong players might hold a student`s attention a bit better. So, just go to http://www.learnabunch.net/transpositions_ppm.htm , and you`ll see that the position most often reached by transposition is http://www.learnabunch.net/228_1.htm , and at that web page you see at the upper-right the move sequences to demonstrate to your student. Of course if you want a transposition example with more than 3 plys, you can scan down the list of commonly-played transpositions until you find one with more plys (there`s a column in the table that tells you how many plys it takes to reach the position transposed into). Or you can click the links on the list page that re-displays the list in a different order. The three available orders include - most often played - most plys to get into the transposed position - most different lines of play that transpose into the position Note that the lists show only the top 20 in each order, unless you click the link on the main page ( http://www.learnabunch.com/bdco/bdco_transpositions.htm ) to get the complete lists. The complete lists are very long; they require patience to download even with a fast link. Also, even when the long lists are in the browser cache, they still require (less) patience because even when cached they take a while to re-draw when you re-visit them. cheers, Bruce ---------
