COMAS FABREGO - True Lies in Chess

OUT OF STOCK 

One of the best chessbook published. 

How to Reassess Your Chess is the popular step-by-step course that will create a marked improvement in anyone's game. In clear, direct language, Silman shows how to dissect a position, recognize its individual parts and ultimately find the move that conforms to the needs of that particular situation. By explaining the thought processes that go into a master's choice of move, the author presents a system of thought that makes advanced strategies seem clear, logical and at times even obvious. How the Reassess Your Chess offers invaluable knowledge and insight that cannot be found in any other book.  650 pages

In het mix werkboek staan 62 pagina's met opgaven, liefst 62x12=648-18 (tekeningen e.d )= 726 opgaven.

De thema's zijn bekend uit Stap 3, Stap 3 plus en Stap 3 vooruitdenken en de lagere stappen. Voor de plusboeken waren er tot dusver geen gemixte oefeningen. Voor alle oefeningen is er de simpele opdracht: Speel de beste zet. Net als in een echte partij weet je niet of je kunt winnen of je moet verdedigen. Welke aanvalsdoelen zijn er? Wat dreigt de tegenstander? Is het tijd om te remise te maken? Kortom, van alles wat.
Twee soorten opgaven zijn anders: er is op elke bladzijde een meerkeuzevraag en een opgave met een variant onder het bord die je moet aanvullen. Alleen op de laatste 8 bladzijden staat het thema aangegeven: 2 pagina's matplanners en 6 met mat in twee problemen.

Le sous-titre est ' Winning battles over the board ', ce qui est un trait d'humour : sur le 22 parties personnelles que le MI américain a choisi de nous présenter ici, il n'en a en effet gagné que 8 L'humour est d'ailleurs le principal atout de ce petit traité de baston échiquéenne (traduction approximative du titre, mais qui reflète assez fidèlement le contenu), anecdotique sans doute, mais hautement lisible et non dépourvu d'intérêt - tant il est vrai que les gamelles sont souvent plus riches d'enseignements que les triomphes

Version anglaise de 'Pratique de mon système'.

In an ideal world, any aspiring chess player, at almost any level, would get better with a coach. If that’s not possible, having chess champion coach Thomas Engqvist’s book at your side is the next best thing.

In his series of lessons, Engqvist guides you through not only the most important elements of chess to master but also the psychology, how to marry knowledge with imagination, and how to stay motivated.

Suitable for older children through to adults, the lessons are drawn from chess games through history, from the 16th century to Magnus Carlsen and latest Alpha Zero computer chess. It features a range of key players, including Steinitz, Lasker, Nimzowistch, Botvinnik (Soviet chess school), and Fischer. With clear and accessible annotations to give clarity, the games highlight the most important lessons to learn and, just as importantly, how to ‘practise’ chess. 

International Master Thomas Engqvist has travelled the world teaching and coaching chess to a very high level for decades – and with this book, he can be your coach too.
