[BrianWall-ChessList] +7

[Brian Wall]

A -Hans Berliner gave a computer value of +7 to
two connected passed pawns on the 6th rank.

B - Forget about defense and just organize,
coordinate what you have left and attack.

C - When things go horribly laugh and look for
conterplay any way you can get it. Avoid simplicity.

We all have to retranslate simple Chess principles into our own brains -
that's why when we find something we ask-
"Why didn't anyone tell me this before?"

Maybe they did but not in a form you could comprehend.
