Gareyev - Trompowsky for the attacking player dvd

De klassieke schaakstukken van de DGT schaakbord, die een beetje op de klassieke stukken lijken (koning 95 mm hoog), zijn zeer bekend tussen de competitiespelers. Deze speciale stukken (en natuurlijk ook de 2 volgende sets) zijn de enige stukken die met de DGT schaakbord gebruilt kunnen worden. Je kan natuurlijk je mooiste verzamelaarsstukken op je bord plaatsen voor een prachtige uitzicht, maar de computer zal ze helaas niet herkennen.

 

Georgy Lisitsin (1909-72) was a respected Soviet master, theoretician and writer. In 1958 he published a revised edition of his most ambitious work, entitled Strategy and Tactics of Chess, which became one of the most legendary manuals in the Soviet chess school, and no doubt one of the books that motivated the young Bobby Fischer to learn Russian.

Lisitsin broke down Strategy and Tactics into their constituent elements, enabling players of all levels to study chess systematically, learning from carefully selected game fragments and studies. Key Elements of Chess Strategy and its companion volume Key Elements of Chess Tactics are the first ever complete English translations of Lisitsin's classic.

In Key Elements of Chess Strategy, Lisitsin breaks down the Foundations of Strategy into categories such as piece placement, exchanges, weaknesses and prophylaxis, followed by a section on Devising a Strategic Plan, including concepts such as blockading, undermining, the initiative, pawn chains, and planning in the opening.  Hardcover 206 pages

The English Opening arises after 1.c4, and is a great practical weapon for players of all levels. White dictates the opening from the very first move, and often reaches positions where understanding themes and plans is more important than the latest computer-generated analysis.

Parfois, les titres les plus simples sont les plus difficiles à traduire... ««Devious»«, ça signifie déviant, mais sans la connotation psychiatrique. Le Oxford propose « retors » - pourquoi pas... En fait, ce sont les échecs non systématiques, hors des sentiers battus qui sont ici célébrés. Le problème, c’est que le non-systématique se laisse mal systématiser – et on se retrouve au final avec une simple collection d’exemples, sans beaucoup de liant ni de cohérence. Amusant, sans plus.
