BOYLSTON CHESS CLUB
TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2015
AN EVENING OF CHESS INSTRUCTION
REFLECTIONS OF A STRONG MASTER
THE PSYCHOLOGY AND STRATEGY
OF A CHESS POSITION
A CANDID DISCUSSION
IM David Vigorito gives insight into
chess play: review of his game with
GM Alexander Lenderman,
Philadelphia Open, Round 2, 2013
CATERED EVENT
PREPARED BY BCC TOURNAMENT PLAYER
CHARLES SLADE, MASTER CHEF
CHICKEN DISH: YUMMY!
DAN SCHMIDT PREPARES HIS PLATE
VEGGIES: VERY TASTY
CORN BREAD: WOW!
THIS IS FIRST RATE BUFFET SPREAD
Eating and listening. The group sits enthralled with David's
presentation.
The audience listens attentively in the BCC playing hall.
David talks about the sequence of moves in an opening: choose carefully!
TRANSPOSITION FROM QUEEN'S GAMBIT TO CARO KANN?
YES THIS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE.
DENOUEMENT
Major piece endgame: white prevails!
THE FINAL MOVE
36. Qc5 . . . 1-0 (with the idea of Bd6)
The pin by the rook on c7 on black's 2nd rank is
devastating.
David's advice: be alert from the beginning.
Don't rush or play routinely. Look at what options
are available on the board.  Extra time taken in the 
beginning of the game, for thorough calculation is 
rewarded  by a strong force against opponent's game 
down the road.  Time invested at the start reaps 
benefits as the game develops, forcing opponent
to take extra time to counter your good play.
QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD
David infuses stories from his tournament
career to re-enforce his instructional points.
BOTTOM LINE: CHESS IS A BATTLE
BETWEEN TWO MINDS
TACTICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
CONSIDERATIONS, TOGETHER
CREATE THE GAME
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT DAVID'S CHESS 
EDUCATION PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE
SIMULTANEOUS EXHIBITION
FOR THE AUDIENCE
Let the games begin . . . 
Write down your moves to go over
after the event. The pressure is on.
Thank you David,
for an insightful and
entertaining evening
of chess analysis
and play
