I asked the question here at CCC twice now, will tactics someday be the main
strategy in chess refuting position play? Perhaps it has already started!? For
instance a deep analysis of this position needs to be done before concluding
with a blind eye that something is positionally bad. Tactics will often arise
from a bad looking move. Of course im not saying Qg3 is the best, however, it
may be tactically motivated, and may be quite good. Lets take a look at this
position, here are just a few variations from one tree, there are dozens more.
1. Qg3 g6 ?! (1... Nh5 2. Qh4 Nhf6 3. Bd3 h6 4. Bxh6 gxh6 5. Qxh6 Rd8 6. g4
{Unclear position, however white has great potential for a strong attack}) (
1... b5 ! 2. Bd3 b4 3. Ne2 Bb7 $11 {Equal game with chances for both}) 2. Bh6
Re8 3. f5 ${And now white gets a faster attack than the pawn storm would have
provided,}
I think everyone should read Kotov's book, "Think like a Grandmaster",
especially in regards to how to analyse positions. Stunning book that really
open my eyes. Tactics are everything, IMHO. Cheers
