an interesting take on the D5 from half chan

>Post # 122 - Trump, Q and the Beauty of D5

>Ok DS, today I am going to tell you a little more about the beautiful D5 move. It seems Q wants you to know more about it:

>You see, going from being an average chess player to a good one depends on your ability to focus on the position rather than the material.

>Beginners tend to focus on protecting their pieces on the board and their moves are just a succession of short term tactical arrangements while the experienced player focuses on optimizing his position and achieving an ownership of the chess board that will inevitably result in the death of the opponent’s king.

>When the experienced player detects this focus on material, he turns it to his advantage and sets up traps that the greedy and short term sighted rookie would systematically fall into, until he dies with an aborted smile and a distended belly full of the well-packed junk that were graciously served to him.
