Chess: Understanding the Ruy Lopez Opening (Exchange Variation)
What's the game plan for White?
* Win the e5 pawn by getting rid of its
c6 defender (4 Bxc6, 5 Nxe5).
* Also take the unprotected c6 pawn left
over from the above exchange (7 Nxc6).
Please remember, this gained material will
only become helpful if Black doesn't force
its retaking.
What's the game plan for Black?
* Allow White to attain the e5 and c6 pawns,
and then force their return (5 ... Qe7, 6 ... d6,
7 ... Qxe4, 11 ... Ne7). Please note, any clingy
attempts on his part can be punished by
taking the c6 knight.

Chess: Pirc Defense (Austrian Attack)
Why 6 d5 is bad?
It invites ... e7-e6, and following White's
d5xe6 Black solves his opening problem
by ... Bxe6 and then ... d6-d5. If White
allows ... e6xd5, his pawn structure
becomes unsound, thanks to the
obstructing f4 pawn.
Chess: The Unsounded Center
What exactly makes this region unique?
White's possession and control of d4 and e4
means:
(i) Black is unable to use c5-e5 plus d5-f5
(ii) He stands the risk of being pushed back
by d4-d5 and e4-e5
d4-e4 therefore gives White an offensive plus
territorial advantage. If he can get in c4 and
f4, his central presence becomes intimidating ...
