The hero has no advantage whatsoever but somehow manages to keep
setting the opponent problems. Their opponent goes slightly astray
and suddenly hero has a tiny advantage. It's not much but now that
they have a little something to work with, they are in their
element. They play accurately and remorselessly and make life
incredibly difficult for their opponent. Suddenly, and almost
imperceptibly, their advantage increases. Further tiny inaccuracies
follow, hero turns the screw and bags the full point. Their
opponent is left shaking their head, wondering where on earth they
went wrong. This is the squeeze and the great champions have been
capable of squeezing opponents to death. Jose Capablanca, Tigran
Petrosian, Anatoly Karpov and, in the current era, Magnus Carlsen
are legendary in this respect. How do they do it? How do they set
problems in apparently sterile positions? How can they continuously
manage to defeat world class opposition from positions that others
would simply give up as drawn? In this book, Cyrus Lakdawala
explains the mechanisms commonly used in squeeze plays. Using
examples from the world's greatest strategic masters he unpicks the
secrets of the squeeze.
