Throughout the course of a chess game, we routinely look for piece maneuvers as a way to improve positions of our pieces or to solve other positional problems. To find such maneuvers, we tend to rely on well-known positional patterns. However, we need to keep our minds open for unusual, counter-intuitive, piece maneuvers because from time to time such moves turn out to be the best solution in the position. In this video, we take a look at 5 game fragments with such examples. Some unusual motifs that we will see are: retreating developed piece to its initial square, putting the knight in the corner, putting the rook on a closed file, and voluntarily losing a tempo.
