targets and also there is no question of a race.
Only if, for example, the white king makes his
way to the distant queenside should Black then
become active on the kingside.

"This is a typical psychological mistake.
Black loses patience and would like to show
that he too can play actively. But this move
only helps his opponent." (Ribli in CBM). After

make progress, since after 2 llg8+ @f4 3 l.;1h8

G) Don't Play on the Wing
where Your Opponent
has the Advantage
Normally it is not advantageous to become active
on the wing where the opponent is superior.
This usually just creates fresh weaknesses or
points of attack.
In the following diagram, Black is well entrenched
on the light squares and should have
simply continued in that vein.

Now White profits enormously from his
passed pawns on the kingside.

H) Unnecessarily Giving up
Material
Be extremely careful about giving back material.
In particular, you must be completely sure
of what you are doing when you simplify all the
way down to a pawn ending.
In the diagram on the following page, Black
should win, and by manoeuvring against the
white defences he would surely have garnered
the full point.

Areshchenko had probably seen that, owing
to his protected passed pawn, he would win the
white f-pawn. But he had failed to see that
