> Another amazing blog Mcie!
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you for taking the time to write this article and introduce me to this concept. I teach chess, and it is easy for me to explain to my students the obvious (to me) things that they can do to improve, such as not giving away their pieces for free. But in my own study, I'm less clear about what I need in order to progress. Although, as you say, the Novotny is rare, it clearly illustrates an idea of which I was completely oblivious. It's fun to see that, even after years of study, there are ideas that I never even imagined.

Cheers, thank you @Suzie17 ! Yes, there are so many concepts in chess that we only discover (and appreciate later) in our chess journeys! I also teach chess myself and I also write about many more similar concepts and motifs on my personal chess lessons blog www.chessinprogress.com (am slowly transferring some of them here to Lichess as well) Feel free to check it out if you find it interesting or useful!
