Shelby Lyman ChessIncisive analysis will put you on read to victoryThe perception that one has the advantage is the first step in the exploitation of a superior position. For the recognition of superiority is the beginning of analysis and incis‘ve analysis is the road to correct technique. When a position is deciphered, placidly juxtaposed pieces suddenly come to life and awesome power may be unleashed.Diagram 1An historical moment is recreated in our first position. Richard Reti (white) is to more against Savielly Tartakower (black) in Vienna in 1910. The unthinking response would be to play R-Kl and winthe knight at K5, re-establishing material equality.But something in the position alerted Reti; probably he began by focusing onthe line-up of the rook and queen on thequeen file. Without the bishop at Q2, there would be an instant mate withQ-Q8 mate. Yet various bishop moves do not work. (Try them.) Reti’s solutionhas become a model for future play.Sacrifice the queen for double check!The king must moveDiagram 2instantly follow's10)quence was 9) Q-Q8 check B-N5 double check.

Botvinnik (black)Diagram 3is a piece ahead but Sliwa (white) has sifficient pawns to compensate and draw if Botvinnik does not find something special. Unexpectedly (after long analysis) Botvonnik trades off his last pawns to win with his queen and knight (and king) against white's king and queen. The game went as follows. 43) . . . P-N5; 44) PxP check, K-N4: 45) P-R5.
