This post is about candidates moves and finding plans. This topic is very important because it is needed in every chess game. Here are some tips about finding candidates moves and plans in concrete positions: Step 1.Understand the position (weaknesses in both players positions, strategical aspects...) Step 2.Find plans and candidate moves ( 3 candidate moves are perfect) Step 3. Calculate the lines for every candidate move ( tactics and positional understanding is needed-you have to understand whether the position is tactical or strategical) Here is a example for a strategical position: (its whites move) Step 1. Understand the position: Positional aspects for white: Only pawn break/plan with h5, bad bishop on d3- perspective to get to h3 and e6 after the move g5, space advantage in the center Positional aspects for black: No pawn break/ plan ( b5 is never possible), Bad bishop on g7- no good perspective, space disadvantage, Step 2.
