With so much material on offer, the eternal question is: ‘How can I study chess without wasting my time and energy?’ Davorin Kuljasevic provides the full and ultimate answer, as he presents a structured study approach that has long-term improvement value.

How do you optimize your learning process? How do you develop good study habits and get rid of useless ones? What study resources are appropriate for players of different levels? Many self-improvement guides are essentially little more than a collection of exercises. Davorin Kuljasevic reflects on learning techniques and priorities in a fundamental way. And although this is not an exercise book, it is full of instructive examples looked at from unusual angles. To provide a solid self-study framework, Kuljasevic categorizes lots of important aspects of chess study in a guide that is rich in illustrative tables, figures and bullet points. Anyone, from casual player to chess professional, will take away a multitude of original learning methods and valuable practical improvement ideas.
Book Synopsis Beyond Material by : Davorin Kuljasevic
Download or read book Beyond Material written by Davorin Kuljasevic and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to win a game of chess you very often have to sacrifice material. Gathering the courage to do so while accurately assessing the potential benefits is a real challenge. The big question is always: what’s my compensation? Generations of chess players grew up with the idea that a sacrifice was correct if the material was swiftly returned, with interest. Almost by reflex, they spent lots of time counting, quantifying the static value of their pieces. But is that really the best way to determine the correctness of a sacrifice? In this book, Grandmaster Davorin Kuljasevic teaches you how to look beyond the material balance when you evaluate positions. With loads of instructive examples he shows how the actual value of your pieces fluctuates during the game, depending on many non-material factors. Some of those factors are space-related, such as mobility, harmony, outposts, structures, files and diagonals. Other factors are related to time, and to the way the moves unfold: tempo, initiative, a threat, an attack. Modern chess players need to be able to suppress their need for immediate gratification. In order to gain the upper hand you often have to live with uncertain compensation. With many fascinating examples, Kuljasevic teaches you the essential skill of taking calculated risks. After studying Beyond Material, winning games by sacrificing material will become second nature to you.

Book Synopsis How To Study Chess Openings - The Guide by : Roman Jiganchine
Download or read book How To Study Chess Openings - The Guide written by Roman Jiganchine and published by Roman Jiganchine. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an interesting paradox in the chess community - many coaches and teachers warn players of all levels against the excessive obsession with opening theory and yet the vast majority of chess materials in digital or printed form are dedicated to specific opening variations or positions. While everyone admits that memorizing variations will never guarantee success in over the board or online encounters, there is clearly a demand for products that help chess players of all levels to successfully navigate through the first stage of the game. At the same time, there is a lack of detailed discussion regarding how seasoned players (expert level and above) structure their work on chess openings, store their analysis, come up with new ideas, prepare for tournament games and so on. Rather than provide another set of variations, key positions and critical games in a specific opening area, this book is meant to fill this gap and help the reader to make sense from all the information that is out there and save as much time and energy as possible, while still building a bulletproof opening repertoire. The book is aimed at any chess player who wants to improve their opening play and is looking for some guidance in that area. Despite the large proliferation of computer chess software, there is a lack of explanation for how to tie to it effectively to one's study of openings. In the most advanced book on the subject, 'Opening Preparation', published in 1990s, the renowned coach Mark Dvoretsky, while giving great coverage for other topics, described the system for storing opening analysis on paper cards, with a side note that this was outdated and software should be used instead and that this was a large topic deserving a separate discussion. Since then there was a deafening silence on the subject in chess books, at least partially inspiring this publication, which outlines the system for storing opening analysis that served the author well for almost a decade. The goal of the book is to help the reader to increase their creativity in the opening phase of the game - both at home and during the games - whether you are a serious tournament player, or just play chess for fun at a club or on the Internet. Most of the plans and ideas are coming from Grandmaster games, with additional examples of preparation from the author's own master level games. Whether you enjoy opening preparation already, or it is your weak spot, I hope the book will give you some food for thought and practical suggestions applicable immediately upon reading the book. If rather than remember exact opening moves from the book examples, the reader is instead inspired to come up with their own ideas - the author's mission will be quite accomplished! Good opening preparation is all about picking the right direction for opening research and investing time into fine-tuning the understanding of favourable positions that are most likely to occur in our games. The basic premise throughout the book is to base one's opening preparation on 3 E's: Enjoyable - the positions that you analyze during opening preparation should appeal to your chess taste, and the process itself should feel pleasant and creative. See the section on 'Creativity' for more details. Effective - ultimately it should bring good results during tournament games, and be targeted at the positions that are most likely to occur on the board. This is covered under sections on Cutting Opponent's Options, Transpositions, and so on. Our choice of opening variations is more likely to make our work effective than anything else. Efficient - this is not as important as effectiveness, but we still don't want to waste time and analysis, so various computer tools are suggested to optimize the 'how' of opening analysis, save our work, and efficiently retrieve it. While it has plenty of examples and annotated games, this book deals with opening preparation in general. For books on specific openings, the reader might want to explore other books in the "Opening Preparation" Series: - Spanish Opening - Strategy and Tactics for White - Exchange Slav - Strategy and Tactics covers the particular opening and pawn structure for both sides - Isolated Queen Pawn: Strategy and Tactics spans multiple openings, but focuses on a single common pawn structure

Book Synopsis Learn Chess Fast with Milton N. Bradley by : Milton N. Bradley
Download or read book Learn Chess Fast with Milton N. Bradley written by Milton N. Bradley and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic ideas of Chess are well known, and over the years many prominent Masters and Grandmasters have written books designed to teach beginners those rudiments. So it seems reasonable to ask why yet another exposition of this same material is either warranted or necessary. The answer is simple. Learn Chess Fast is clearer, more logically organized, more complete, and, especially, more insightful than anything ever written, progressing smoothly and effortlessly from the most basic concepts to the more complex, and thus making the beginner's learning task far easier. It does this because it represents the culmination of the author's 50 + years of successful experience in teaching both Chess and Go beginners of all ages, from young juveniles thru older adults. Throughout, key ideas are boldly highlighted in prominent text boxes, so the things most in need of the student's attention/learning are clearly distinguished from supporting concepts, and all ideas are profusely and clearly illustrated. Early on, the concept is introduced that the "standard' version of Chess that forms the book's subject is really only the most prominent variant of an entire complex of similar but sometimes strikingly different games. Then it's explained that the"special rules" governing such things as Castling, the "En Passant" pawn capture, et al are only the unavoidable residue of the game's speedup in the Middle Ages, with the result that what other books present as seemingly arbitrary and oft confusing facts to be memorized, here become logical constructs that are easily remembered! The book's many hundreds of diagrams and clear explanatory text better answer the key questions that all Chess primers must address, and such things as its exposition of the reasons why memorization of the Openings is counterproductive will save the beginner from much unnecessary later trauma. The overall result is a unique, self-teaching primer that speeds learning while increasing the beginner's enjoyment and understanding. As one of its reviewers said "This is the book I wish I had when I was learning to play Chess." Check it out for yourself and discover why Learn Chess Fast is the ideal gift for your own family members, as well as for those friends and relatives who've had difficulty in learning Chess in the past or whom you've never before been able to interest.
