David Bronstein said, (I paraphrase): Much time is spent lokiong for a knock-out punch when all that’s required is a good chess move . I would say a good move is one that can immediately take advantage of a flaw (positional or tactical) created by your opponent on his LAST move. And by the way, Louis .thanks for your quality material at a reasonable price. Upon completing my 1st set of Visualwize exercises I’ll surely order set #2! Kind regards, Michael
