Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thissecond and final volume of the Anti-Sicilian series covers our approach for allalternatives to 2¿Nc6. The choice against 2¿d6 was obvious. The Moscow variationis the only critical alternative to 3.d4 that has caused any concerns for Black¿ by developing with a tempo, we force Black to make an immediate decision onmove 3 and wait for the right moment to open the position. Whilst in theRossolimo book we have tried to achieve an objective advantage against every line, our choices in the Moscow were mainly selected by their ability to create practicaldifficulties for the opponent. Naturally, it is not possible to find anadvantage in every variation but we have ensured to add many detailedexplanations to guide plans and aid understanding in the various positionswe¿ll encounter.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - - The Barry Attack is somewhat defensive-looking from the start. - It tempts Black forward, provocatively. - The Barry Attack is, after all, a little rebellious, flouting, as it does, all those common sense development rules. - Perhaps your game needs a good shot of tactics to boost your results ¿ it¿s one of the fastest ways to improve and this is true not only for young players. - If your opponent plays an early move order that¿s not in this book such as 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c5 or 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 for example, the good news is that Black will be forced to transpose back into the mass of material. - This super repertoire keeps Black under pressure. Any reasonable opening set-up can work wonders for White or Black if they know it well.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is about the Nimzo-IndianClassical line 4.Qc2 (also known as the Capablanca Variation) and the 4.Bd2-line, for which basically I couldnot find an established name. As far as I know, the 4.Bd2 linehas never been covered in such a comprehensive way in any book before. In thetext I suggest that this line should have the combined name ofTartakower-Duchamp line because Tartakower played it often, while to mysurprise Marcel Duchamp (who was also a famous French artist) played it too inthe 1930s and indeed in a very good positional fashion against strong players. Some of those games are in the book.Now this line enjoys greater popularitythan ever before. About the Classical line with 4. Qc2 there isnothing much to add, except for the fact that it has become hugely popular, butunfortunately from my point of view it involves too much engine-style chess.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book you have just started reading isabout a very interesting and difficult concept: the exchange sacrifice. This isthe moment in chess when basic mathematics breaks down, the moment when 3counts equal to or even more than 5. So let us leave the mathematics aside andtry to figure out why this simple calculation is so difficult to understand.The answer is largely hidden in psychology, as the ninth World Champion, TigranPetrosian, has often told us, as the man who brought this strategic-tactical chessconcept to its first peak. Chess beginners were taught the value of pieces bytheir teachers (parents, grandparents, perhaps at school or even later in thebeginners¿ sections of chess clubs). We explain the difference between piecevalues to children in the simplest way possible, with the help of a unit ofmeasurement, and in chess those units are the pawns. They tell us that a rookis worth five pawns (units) and a knight and a bishop are worth about threeeach. They also tell us to always be careful, especially during exchanges, toensure we take at least as much from our opponent as he or she took from us.So, one rook at a time, perhaps for a bishop and a knight next to two pawns.This ¿chess thinking¿ is done quickly and very strongly subconsciously in most,one could even say all. Therefore, when choosing moves, we will automaticallyreject unfavorable exchanges. But who trades a queen for a knight, a bishop fora pawn, and the like We know from our own life experience that it is better tohave ten coins in our pocket than three, and I prefer three to one! Thispsychological barrier is the most difficult step in making the decision tosacrifice. And so it is with the sacrifice of an exchange. Five for three, thatis! Even five for four, if we get a pawn for the rook along with the knight orthe bishop. ¿I am not stupid,¿ you think. The Exchange Sacrifice Unleashedbrings different games or coaches try to explain this and that to us, we seethat a material advantage is not always something to celebrate about.…
