Timing is crucial in executing tactical combinations from "summary" of Chess Strategy by Ėduard Efimovich Gufelʹd,Eduard Gufeld,Nikolai Kalinichenko

The concept of timing in executing tactical combinations is fundamental in the game of chess. It is not enough to simply see a combination; one must also know when to execute it for maximum effectiveness. Timing is crucial because a combination may lose its potency if played too early or too late. A well-timed combination can catch the opponent off guard and lead to a decisive advantage. In chess, timing is often interwoven with the concept of prophylaxis. By anticipating the opponent's threats and preparing one's own combinations at the right moment, a player can gain a significant edge in the game. Moreover, timing is also about patience and calculation. It requires a player to carefully assess the position, weigh the risks and rewards, and only execute a combination when the time is right. In many games, the difference between success and failure lies in the timing of a tactical combination. A well-timed sacrifice or a sudden attack can turn the tide of a game in an instant. Therefore, mastering the art of timing in executing tactical combinations is essential for any serious chess player. It requires a deep understanding of the game, strategic foresight, and the ability to seize the right moment to strike.
