Book Synopsis Fundamental Chess Openings by : Paul van der Sterren
Download or read book Fundamental Chess Openings written by Paul van der Sterren and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * The perfect survival guide to the chess openings * All openings covered * Detailed verbal explanations of plans for both sides * Up-to-date and featuring many tips and recommendations * Insights into the 'character' of each opening * Written by one of the world's foremost opening experts The first moves of a chess game define the nature of the whole struggle, as both players stake their claim to the critical squares and start to develop their plans. It is essential to play purposefully and to avoid falling into traps or reaching a position that you don't understand. This is not a book that provides masses of variations to memorize. Paul van der Sterren instead offers a wealth of ideas and explanation, together with the basic variations of each and every opening. This knowledge will equip players to succeed in the opening up to good club level, and provide a superb grounding in opening play on which to build a more sophisticated repertoire. The strategies he explains will, unlike ever-changing chess opening theory, remain valid as long as chess is played, and so the time spent studying this book will be rewarded many times over. Grandmaster Paul van der Sterren has won the Dutch Championship on two occasions, and in 1993 reached the Candidates stage of the World Chess Championship. He is an internationally renowned chess writer and editor: he was one of the founding editors of New in Chess, for whose Yearbooks he has contributed more than 150 opening surveys.
Book Synopsis Studies for Practical Players by : Mark Dvoreetsky
Download or read book Studies for Practical Players written by Mark Dvoreetsky and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, chessplayers spend almost all their free time preparing openings, and rarely spend the time necessary to perfect the vitally important technique of calculating. Regular training in solving and playing out endgames studies is a good recipe for eliminating that shortcoming. This training is directed at developing resourcefulness, fantasy (in chess, these qualities are called "combinative acuity”), and the readiness to sacrifice material, in pursuit of the goal - winning! How do we develop good habits of winning endgame play? There are lots of manuals; but this may be the first in which a famous practical player, a trainer with a world-renowned name, and a study composer who has earned the title of International Grandmaster of Composition, share their views in one and the same book.

Book Synopsis John Nunn's Chess Puzzle Book by : John Nunn
Download or read book John Nunn's Chess Puzzle Book written by John Nunn and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most chess puzzle books put you in an artificial situation: you are told a combination exists, what the theme is and what you are required to achieve. This one is different. In a real game, a player may sometimes need to find a combination. On the other hand he may have to reject a tactical idea and simply find a good positional move. His task is to find the right move, whatever it may be. The 300 puzzles in this book put you precisely in that situation. Spectacular ideas abound in these positions, but it is for you to decide whether to go in for them, or whether you would be falling into a trap. If you need them, there are hints to help you on your way. The book ends with a series of tests to measure your skills against those of other players. For this new edition, John Nunn, a top-class grandmaster and a solving world champion, has added 50 new puzzles (with hints and detailed solutions) to test your skills to the full. For ease of following, extra diagrams have been added to the solutions throughout. Overall the book is 60 per cent bigger than the first edition.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Chess Patterns Part 1 by : Rodolfo Pardi
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Chess Patterns Part 1 written by Rodolfo Pardi and published by Gatteria. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I suggest you look inside: to check that you will understand to see 17 out of the 101 patterns to see figurines instead of piece initials to appreciate the neat diagrams to link to sample games This ebook is a combination of "Fundamental Chess Patterns 1-50 and 51-100", a directory of 101 patterns to be used as a reference, AND the complete analysis of the following patterns: Critical squares, Illusory Pin, Smothered Mate, Attack to the castled King. It presents on my web site one game for most of the patterns. With a small increase of price, the size increases to more than 500 pages, with a lot of diagrams (300 total) to help understanding the patterns It is not easy for beginners and intermediate players to learn how to play chess and improve their game. Instead of learning mainly through practice (which could take years) or the study of the games of Masters (difficult and easily forgotten, trying reverse engineering on things one does not understand), this book presents a toolkit of weapons: essential patterns that are necessary to know in order to play well! What you need to know before reading this book: * How to use algebraic chess notation * The ability to visualize at least 4 plies without a board * Standard tactical devices, such as Counting, Forks, Skewers, Pins What you will learn in this book: * Basic patterns that every player must know * How to improve your game * How to use Opposition and Critical Squares What you will NOT get, and why: * Capablanca: nobody can learn to play well merely from the study of a book, it can only serve as a guide, and the rest must be done by the teacher There is no limit to what is available to a chess student today: you can find gigabytes of books, software, and video - a jungle in which the student can go astray. It is well known that strong players see a position broken down into elementary groups (chunks), each having specific, known characteristics. This is due to the huge number of games they have played, analyzed and retained in memory. As a result, they immediately recognize winning patterns. This book includes NO puzzles, BUT a selection of 101 patterns chosen from among the essential patterns. They need to be engraved in your mind, so that you recognize them immediately (regardless of which side of the board you are on), without any doubt or hesitation. These are all patterns that are essential to know in order to be able to play well. They are not endless lists of moves, which would be impossible to remember, but rather positions that occur frequently, that you can learn to recognize without thinking, the way Masters do. Are all these patterns known? Sure they are, but this is not the point. A GM knows over ten thousand, a CM about 200, but what about you? Can you afford not to know these few key patterns? Novice and intermediate players are the target of this book, class B (1700 rating or less). Periodically going through these patterns will help you avoid losses, win more games, and reduce your thinking time. If only one of these patterns was unknown to you (or you were uncertain what to do when you saw it), your learning time will not be wasted. If already know them all, and have never fallen victim to any of them, then great, play tournaments and enjoy Evelyne Nicod's cat illustrations. New! You can see for free on scacchi.vecchilibri.eu/partite (copy the link to your browser) many related games, with English comments. Follow through and download PGN. Appearance is simple and neat, and diagrams start at the appropriate move. An Internet connection is needed.
