As you surely know, in chess, as in other fields, it is important to study the past. But why is this the case?
Well, there are several reasons. First of all, it is about understanding why something took place several years ago, under what conditions it was played, what foundations were laid and for what benefit or meaning it had, how old masters thought, on the basis of which principles they judged the position and what effects the "work" of the old chess school has on the present. There are many more reasons why I think (and I share this opinion with a majority of people I have had the pleasure of meeting in chess) that it is essential to study the classics.
