But you could study modern GM games for a year and never see an example of how to punish those errors, because no top player makes them any more. If you want to see how to punish elementary positional mistakes, you need to look at the games of Capablanca and Alekhine, or even Dr. Tarrasch. And no modern master games will teach you how to exploit a d5 outpost nearly as clearly as Boleslavsky - Lissitzin or Smyslov - Rudakovsky.Paul Gottliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062464400324829622noreply@blogger.com
