All Systems in Chess
What does "a Chess System" mean? A system in chess is characterized by a certain pawn structure with resulting plans of play. There are many MAJOR systems in chess, every one of them resulting from a different opening system.
For example, when you think of the Grunfeld Defense, you see the black bishop on g7 and you have in mind certain structures and plans. When you think of the Sicilian Najdorf, you see the pawn structure d6-e5 and you have in mind other plans, other ideas.
Almost every opening generates some typical pawn structures, so different plans of play arise. Over time, great plans of play have been developed for every system. In fact, all great plans and ideas were developed in the context of specific systems. These ideas can be adapted and used in many other situations on the chess board.
