That's great, Willy! I just want to take a look. I have an idea...
The ex-Officer of the Soviet Army was always amazed by the big deal that the hockey finals of 1972 played in the Canadian psyque. Certainly ice hockey was the national sport of masses and a source of pride for the country of the Maple Leaf.
But for Taras there was another "final" that took place that same fateful year. Back then a crazy, young Bobby Fischer fought against Boris Spassky for the World Title. The stakes were high. The Cold War was in full swing and chess was a tool of political propaganda for the Kremlin. Thousands of schools existed all fully supported by the Government. A way to demonstrate that the intellectual superiority of the communist ideology could be demonstrated through "world domination" over the checkered battlefield.
Bobby shattered those dreams. And forever he would be remembered for that feat. His games were throughoutly studied by masters and players of all levels. Taras V. Shevchenko being one of them. Although Game 6 was the most memorable one it was Game 3 the one that got the series really heated up. The Ukrainian quickly re-arrange the figures in this manner:
Bobby demonstrated his acute intuitive feel. Allowing White to shatter Black's kingside pawn structure looked antipositional, but Bobby's assessment that his kingside attack created significant counterplay proved correct. Surprised by Fischer's novelty, which he had gleaned from the Yugoslav grandmaster Dragoljub Velimirović, and God bless the Serbian woman, Spassky did not react in the best way. His 18th move, weakening the light squares, was a mistake.
Based on this Taras decided to move out of the Fort. It was positional play what was going to use against the Hell's Angels. This play is dominated by long-term maneuvering for advantage rather than by short-term attacks and threats, and requires judgment more than extensive calculation of variations.
That counterplay that Bobby Fischer put to good use was a form of active maneuvering by the player in an inferior or defensive position. Like staying at the Fort could be translated into forward deployment. Now it was a metter of letting Kelsey occupy the white squares so he could use the black ones in order to put in "check" the Hell's Angels...
