Training games against chess coach NCM Vas are bound to produce some lessons. In this blog I feature two positions from my training games against a bright 7-year-old who is doing really well in grade 2. Key lesson: don't rush your recaptures. There might be something better. For example, you delay the recapture with a forcing move or you can ignore it completely. White to play. 47. hxg5 f5! 48. Rg3 e4# mate 0-1. ------------------------------------------------------------ White to play. 41. e4! (There's no rush to recapture. First comes a forcing move.) Be6 42. d5 Bc8 43. Bh5 Kd7? 44. Bg4+ +- and White won the endgame easily thanks to his extra pawns. Remember: don't recapture automatically, there might be something better available.
