Chess is one of the most popular logic games of our time. Fascinating chess matches will brighten up the upcoming gloomy autumn evenings. And in the last century, players have been fascinated by this wonderful game.
Features of the game of that time
The first half of the nineteenth century is often called the "romantic era" of chess. At that time there were no international chess tournaments, there was no official match for the title of world champion. This apparent organizational flaw was reflected in the style of play at the time. All players aimed primarily at attacking the opponent's king. Many beautiful and dynamic games were played, but the overall chess strategy left much to be desired. The main attention was paid to attack, attack. The defense was not worked out deeply enough, as a result, many games were played that did not look losing from the position of today.
The beginning of the classical era
In the middle of the century, the situation began to gradually change. A new generation of chess players has formulated more complex and deeper principles of the game of chess. Attack - yes, of course, but only if there is some real advantage that can be used effectively. The conceptual revolution was the result of general changes in chess thought at the time. The game gradually began to go beyond the framework of home leisure and gatherings. National and international tournaments began to be organized, where the strongest chess players could meet with each other. They began to talk about the winners of national championships and international tournaments and write in newspapers. There has not yet been an official world championship. This time was the forerunner of the classical era of chess.
