Book Synopsis Looking for Trouble by : Dan Heisman
Download or read book Looking for Trouble written by Dan Heisman and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2010-04-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to address an underemphasized area of chess training and study, the identification of and reaction to--threats. For beginner and intermediate-level players, the study of tactics is paramount. Almost all tactics books take the approach of providing a position where there is a forced win, checkmate or draw. However, Looking for Trouble takes a different tack. This book helps players to recognize threats by providing over 200 problems in which players can focus on identifying and meeting threats ranging from extremely easy to fiendishly difficult. The identification of difficult threats - how to meet them - discussed in a manner that accommodates players of all levels.
Book Synopsis 1000 Best Short Games of Chess by : Irving Chernev
Download or read book 1000 Best Short Games of Chess written by Irving Chernev and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps if you owned one of the four or five great chess libraries of the world, you could, by diligent search, find most or all of these delectable nuggets. But who has either the time or the assets. So, Mr. Chernev, who has both, has provided us here with 1000 of the sweetest sugar-coated pills in all chess literature. Each introduced with a brief, pungent or witty commentary. Chess brevities have always exercised a special attraction for lovers of the royal game. It may be well that we welcome the punishment inexorably meted out for some trifling slip. Maybe it's out inherent sadism that makes us enjoy the spectacle of speedy punishment doled out to someone else, just as a fight fan thrills to a one-round knockout. Perhaps it's only our inherent laziness after all, to play over a brevity, one often need not bother to set up the pieces. Be that is it may, its popularity is universal. And here are the best of them, gathered together in one volume, for your pleasure and enjoyment. Many of us know instances galore of beginners becoming a cropper after only a few moves through the "scholar's mate" or some other absurdity not necessarily so primitive. Yet it would be quite wrong to assume that only duffers suffer the ignominy of a speedy knockout. The victim may well be a famous master, as you will discover to your surprise, delight and, most of all, your deep, deep satisfaction. After all, if Morphy can be mated in 12 moves, Capablanca defeated in 13, and Lasker blitzed in 14, who are we to hide our heads in shame?
Book Synopsis Forcing Chess Moves by : Charles Hertan
Download or read book Forcing Chess Moves written by Charles Hertan and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER of the ChessCafe 2008 Book of the Year Award SHORTLISTED for The Guardian 2008 Chess Book of the Year Award Why is it that the human brain so often refuses to consider winning chess tactics? Every chess fan marvels at the wonderful combinations with which famous masters win their games. How do they find those fantastic moves? Do they have special vision? And why do computers outwit us tactically? Forcing Chess Moves proposes a revolutionary method for finding winning moves. Charles Hertan has made an astonishing discovery: the failure to consider key moves is often due to human bias. Your brain tends to disregard many winning moves because they are counter-intuitive or look unnatural. It’s a fact of life: computers outdo us humans when it comes to tactical vision and brute force calculation. So why not learn from them? Charles Hertan’s radically different approach is: use COMPUTER EYES and always look for the most forcing move first. By studying forcing sequences according to Hertan’s method you will: Develop analytical precision Improve your tactical vision Overcome human bias and staleness Enjoy the calculation of difficult positions Win more games by recognizing moves that matter. This New and Extended Fourth Edition of Hertan’s award-winning modern classic includes 50 extra pages with new and instructive combinations. There is a foreword by three-time US chess champion Joel Benjamin, and a special foreword to this new edition by Swedish Grandmaster Pontus Carlsson.
Book Synopsis The Two-Move Chess Problem by : B. G. Laws
Download or read book The Two-Move Chess Problem written by B. G. Laws and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two-Move Chess Problem In any book on Chess Problems - even the most elementary treatise - the student must be assumed to possess a full knowledge of the names and moves of the chess pieces, a familiarity with chess notation, and a fairly comprehensive grasp of the relative powers of the men, acquired by actual play over the board. It is even desirable to have at least mastered thoroughly the volume in this series on the Game of Chess before attempting to construct a problem, or even to solve one. In fact, without some experience in chess play the true nature of a problem can hardly be realized, even apart from its innate technicality. Chess Problems are the cream of chess. They contain the highest class of chess play within the limits of a few moves; and in their composition there has been evolved an unwritten code of rules which from time to time has been modified by the refining process it has undergone in the minds of composers. This code has given to the art of composition characteristics distinct from those of chess playing. A Chess Problem is an arrangement of the chess pieces illustrating chess strategy. Its purposes are to act explicitly as a challenge to the solver, and implicitly as an appeal for appreciation when the solution has disclosed its merits.

Download or read book 1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners written by Franco Masetti and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 2069 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chess is 99% tactics. If this celebrated observation is true for the master, how much more so for beginners and casual players! If you want to win more games, nothing works better than training combinations. There are two types of books on tactics, those that introduce the concepts followed by some examples, and workbooks that contain numerous exercises. Chess masters and trainers Franco Masetti and Roberto Messa have done both: they explain the basic tactical ideas AND provide an enormous amount of exercises for each different theme. Masetti and Messa have created a great first tactics book. It teaches you how to: ¯ identify weak spots in the position of your opponent ¯ recognize patterns of combinations ¯ visualize tricks. 1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners can also be used as a course text book, because only the most didactically productive exercises have been used.

Book Synopsis 100 Headachingly Hard Mate in Two Chess Puzzles Composed by Sam Loyd by : Martin B Justesen
Download or read book 100 Headachingly Hard Mate in Two Chess Puzzles Composed by Sam Loyd written by Martin B Justesen and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you get: - 100 really hard mate in two puzzles by one of the best chess composers to have lived organized neatly! Sam Loyd was born January 30, 1841, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S., and died April 10, 1911, in New York. He is probably one of the greatest American puzzle creators ever. Not only did he create amazing chess puzzles, but Sam Loyd also made puzzle games and math puzzles. Loyd studied engineering and took a license as a steam and mechanical engineer, but he managed to create a career out of creating puzzles. When Loyd was 14 years old, he started creating his first chess problems. As a 19-year-old he was problem editor for the magazine Chess Monthly, edited by no other than Paul Morphy. As a chess player, he peaked at no. 15 in the world around 1868-1869. It must therefore be clear that you are up against an excellent puzzle-master when you are going to solve the 100 mate in two problems in this book all composed by Sam Loyd. Loyd said the following about the art of making mate-in-two-problems: "I have often expressed the opinion that it is no easy task to compose a good two-move problem. It should have a decided point, a well-defined theme with a sparkle to it; and the difficulty should consist in the surprise of the trick, and not in the mere trouble of selecting the correct key-move."You might ask why I should solve mate in two puzzles?Former world no. 3 and renown chess trainer, Arthur Yusupov, writes in his book Boost Your Chess that mate-in-two-puzzles "..are very useful for training in the calculation of variations. One is often foced to take into account a lot of candidate moves in order to reach the solution. It is very important to consider all possible replies for your opponent. This develops your skill in calculating short variations." I hope this short intro will keep you motivated to solve these challenging chess puzzles. The problems are presented in a semi-random order to make different themes be presented evenly throughout the book.The solutions are mostly presented with the different variations, but in some only the first correct move is given. This is the move I have found in the sources/databases, so I have judged that Loyd wanted it to presented like this. It also gives you an extra challenge to go visualize all the different variations of the solution.
