Thanks - it is actually pure joy to check out the shorter winning games of Alexender Alekhine in my view. It is quite funny to try and extract the key themes. And even funnier to start using them in my own games. I think one of my big takeaways was the concept of "principled mistake" - don't let engines ruin our chess - sometimes good to keep queens on for a potential later beautiful combination. Cheers, K

Wow, nice images. AI-generated i presume? But nice vibe!

Does anybody notice that in one of the pictures, the AI spelled 'Fundamental' wrong and that in a previous picture, some of the text was some gibberish? Idk, just a funny thing to realize. XD

Yep but also despite over 7 attempts it also kept putting a cross on top of the queen. AI infographics are not there yet ... thought they were still cute though overall.

Yeah, that's an issue with AI generated images along with having lots of arms and fingers XD

I read, reread and meditate. It’s a must-read blog, and it’s inspired me a lot. Since I don't care much about the rating myself, I tried this yesterday and it felt like a breath of fresh air!
in fact it's excellent tactical training, you start from a semi-random position and do your best to win. inspiring

Thanks - the examples were pretty good to try and abstract themes from. Alexander Alekhine was the 4th world chess champion and second longest running world champion in History. He played opponents at all levels because of the simul games - often blindfold. So he came across mistakes from opponents at all levels - which is very instructive in my view to try and classify and organise.
The categorisations I came up with are abstracted from the wins he had and also taking into account his own deliberate "inaccuracies". I think a little bit the mystery of how Alekhine was able to play great tactical combinations when others equal to him technically couldn't get those same sort of positions, did reveal itself a little bit. I hope that was reflected in the blog and you do find it inspiring.

It'll be nice when mid journey knows how many squares are on a chessboard, etc.
