ESCAPAPIST
Very positional players, which sometimes create a lot of tension on the board and close battles.
Why is this happening?
Because these types of players, trying to destroy their opponents in very positional ways, force the opponent to sacrifice material and take risks, seeking to make their opponent attack while they defend with great calculation, until the game is simplified and they play with a material advantage. .
Recommended Openings:
White: English Opening
Black: French Defense
Example:
Viktor Korchnoi (1931 – Present) is seen by many as the best player in the world who has never been a world champion.
It is the essence of the Escapist, playing very modest openings that tend to create a lot of tension little by little, until the opponent is forced to make some sacrifice.
Korchnoi is especially a calculating player, often looking for exceptions to the rules of harmonious piece positioning with the intention of pushing his opponent into making mistakes.
He is a player with enormous fighting ability, and a large part of his success can be attributed to his enormous will to win.
Furthermore, he is not only a great Escapist in chess, since in 1976 he fled the Soviet Union and until now he has been escaping his retirement as a chess player, remaining in the top 100 until he was 75 years old.
