All seriousness aside, I try to follow the principles I learned from a book by Fred Reinfeld titled "The Complete Chess Book". In it, he had a section devoted to the nine bad moves of chess. Learn them and your game improves immensely. Then again, at the time I read the book, I had nowhere to go but up. I still feel that way after seeing the competition at Apolyton.

tip:take all books by Reinfeld,remove them from your residence and forget all info that was contained in them
The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin YuComment

Smash,
I also started with Rheinfeld, Chess in a Nutshell, 1964 or 65 I think. Just because all you young whipper-snappers follow Das Wunderkind, Herr Fischer, doesn't make the older players out dated.

No offense intended.Fred's books are good when used,as you pointed out,at the very start of one's "career".
Herr Fischer?? naw..,too whiny.My favs are Alekhine and Capablanca.Also Paul Keres.His last tourny before passing was here in Vancouver.Its now called The Keres Memorial.The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin YuComment

I didn't know of that one ! BTW I didn't mean your move was but, just that I'd never seen it. And believe me that I've played some dutch defense in my life.

Wunderkind Fischer was already one of the best in 1964 or 65 ! Who was this Reinfeld by the way. I know Marshall, Pillsbury, Morphy and so on, but not this one. And Smash, I saw an Owen game, but it seems he never played the now famous a6 !

Smash, I just bought myself "Secrets of modern chess strategy" from John Watson, and it is a great one.
