Chess Prophylaxis - Advanced Strategy

Prophylaxis Chess Resources


In chess, prophylaxis consists of a move or series of moves done by a player to prevent their opponent from taking some action. Such preventative moves, or prophylactic moves, aim not only to improve one's position but also to restrict the opponent in improving their own.
The term prophylaxis comes from the Greek προφύλαξις, profýlaxis, "guarding or preventing beforehand".
