In part, the book incorporates psychological theories that generally explain these processes, but overall it can be seen as a guide on how to use any activity to learn skills that will enrich your life.

It will awaken your networking skills and teach you how to turn life activities into lifelong skills that will improve your well-being.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book on the 3.Nc3 French, Harikrishna offers practical ideas from White's perspective to make your preparation more effective. At times, this means suggesting the 2nd or 3rd choice of the engine. He builds on the material from his earlier French course (Chessable, May 2019) and has expanded it with new analysis in all the lines, especially the 3.Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 variation. Harikrishna analyzes both 5.Nce2 and 5.f4, so that the reader may make an informed choice about their personal preference. The driving force throughout is to keep the book clear-cut and practical. A good example of a practical weapon is the deceptively simple 3Bb4 4.exd5 line. There are also fresh and interesting suggestions against the sidelines you are likely to encounter, especially at shorter time controls. The entire Thinkers Publishing team joins with the author in wishing you enjoyment and success from this exceptional book.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'There are countless puzzle books available. However, it is very surprising that there is virtually almost none that gives a comprehensive overview with all of the frequent tactical motifs and themes that occur in practice. The ones that I am aware of are either largely incomplete, not systematic, without text, or old, and therefore the analysis contains lots of mistakes. The ambitious goal of this book is to fill this critical gap by addressing all of these issues.Each of the 25 Chapters contains a thorough introduction with the games best showcasing the motif at hand. Next, the puzzle sections specifically aim to reinforce the reader¿s pattern recognition. There are 365 training puzzles in total, and all of them have a 1-5 star value to show the level of difficulty. The solutions are given at the end of every chapter. This book is dedicated to ambitious players who want to improve their game, as well as for coaches to help their students get to the next level.¿ ¿ Peter Prohaszka.…

Neuware - 'This book is beneficial to chess players and enthusiasts at all levels, including top Grand Masters like myself.'-Le Quang Liem Grand Master, former World Blitz Champion Saint Louis, August 2020The Ruy Lopez is one of the most popular openings of all time. It is a frequent guest in the games of players around the world from novice to Grandmaster. As a result of the increased power of analysis engines the theory of the Ruy Lopez has greatly expanded.

Despite this exponential growth in theory, I believe that when armed with sound knowledge it is possible to pose certain practical problems for Black. The purpose of this book is to provide you with detailed and clear explanations of the intricacies of the Ruy Lopez.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 'Anti-Sicilians' have invariably been a popular choice at all levels of the game.Analysis of this opening in previous literature has rarely been extensive due to the misconception that Anti-Sicilians are simplistic and thus, easy to play 'by hand'. While maintaining the ideals of straightforward plans and digestible variations, this series of volumes will attempt to integrate 'Anti-Sicilians' into mainstream theory - with a particular focus on negating Black's attempts to achieve any significant activity.This first volume provides significant coverage of the Rossolimo variation perhaps the most pertinent example of how an 'Anti-Sicilian' has emerged to become arguably even more popular than its counterpart, 3.d4 after 2Nc6. With a particular emphasis on analysing multiple alternatives within each critical variation, this book should appeal to anyone wishing to update and expand their knowledge and understanding of the fashionable Rossolimo.…
