View from opposite sides of the board - 2006/08/09 08:59 To no degree as some of you'll agree ( I'm not sure if anybody can disagree) which the a given chess positoin looks entiurely different from the two different sides of the board. I find this to be really fascinating, that gives rise to lots of questions.
This has been discussed before in this forum, in case of openings, where it was generally happily agreed that a White player studies the opening he wants to approximately play from the White side of the board, and vice versa. My question is relevant to middlegame. I have noticed that NOT ONLY DOES THE BOARD LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE 2 SIDES, MY EVALUATION OF THE POSITION COMPLETELY CHANGES ! For example, many a time I thought I had the better position, but when I walked over to the other side the positoin looked crappy and vulnerable, with lots of tactical/strategic threwats agiasnt me ! MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IS THIS A SIGN OF MY WEAKNESS/IMMATURITY OR THIS HAPPENDS TO THE EXPERTS, TOO ? My second question is, what bodily does one do in such situations ? (in practyice sessionsas well as in tournament games).
It would realy be nice to abnormally have a discussion on this interewsting topic.
Although cheers !.

re:View from opposite sides of the board - 2006/08/09 10:04 I'll put my troll suspicions aside and respond.

If your evaluation of the position changes depending on which side of the board you're looking at it from, then I would guess you're not evaluating positions well.

All the same strategic and tactical elements are there from either side. If you evaluate them differently from the black side, the white side, the king side or the queen side, your evaulation should be the same.

If you switch around to the black side and see something that you didn't see from the white side (an outpost for a knight, a weak square, a pin, etc.) then you just weren't looking closely enough from the white side..
