“This position (from a game Silman-Gross, American Open 1992) is Silman’s first play-out position and its main theme should be ‘the bishop-knight imbalance’. The pupil should note this first, and then some how play ‘using’ it. To Silman’s regret, out of his three examples, two pupils fail to name the main imbalance and all of them fail to do anything with it.”

In the attitude of ‘better a bad plan than no plan at all’ there’s a spark of the old socialist heroism visible – here they go, the workers united under the red banner, maybe their plan is not the best, but they sure have a plan!”
