Download or read book Grandmaster Secrets- The Caro-Kann written by Peter Wells and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2007-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caro-Kann is one of the most popular responses to 1 e4. Black stakes a claim to the central squares and seeks free development for all his pieces. While solid, it is by no means a drawing weapon - the resulting positions generally contain at least a degree of imbalance and the critical lines lead to sharp positions with chances for both sides. Many new approaches for both sides have been developed in recent years, and a good understanding of these ideas is vital for anyone looking to handle either side of the Caro with success.

Book excerpt: Learn the secrets of chess from the only person able to beat the world number 1 chess engine Stockfish.Learn chess 5 times easier through pattern recognition.Attain deep chess knowledge in an intuitive way through a wealth of diagrams(more than 500).Read about topics no other chess author has ever discussed in the past.This book is an entertaining story, combining in one all the elements of positional evaluation in chess.Learn things from the future of chess.Learning straight from the author who has contributed a lot for the development of the strongest chess engine on Earth, Stockfish.ABOVE sentences someone might find conceited, but are mostly true.In this book you will find everything one needs to know about positional evaluation, from tactical features,like pins and discovered checks, to deeply strategic ones, like pointed chains and king shelter weaknesses.The book has incorporated almost all of the concepts available in other reference material, but that is just the start.No matter how unbelievable that might seem to you, half of the featured elements are completely NEW to chesstheory, a product of endless analsysis sessions with Stockfish and Komodo chess engines, as well as the use of statistical points, derived from a large number of high-quality game databases, one of which is TCEC, the strongest computer chesschampionship in the world, played at very long time control.So that, when you are reading this, the signature is not only mine, but partly also that of Stockfish and Komodo.The creative ideas are mine, but without the valuable help of the chess engines, I would never have been able to do thatthe same way.Please, don't be afraid by the numbers used for qualifying all evaluation features: this is done just for the sake ofprecision, but it is very easy to convert those numbers to usual human assessments. For example, if a feature is assessedwith +50cps(cp, centipawn is one hundredth of a full pawn material), that will mean the feature is good. When you see +100cps and above, the feature is very good. If between 0 and 20cps, the feature is still good and useful, but less so.Similarly, for features with negative values, the higher the value, the worse the specific feature is.One gets accustomed to these values and then everything is fine.The book gives a definition for each specific evaluation pattern, a diagram specifies it, and then you get more detailed information about the characteristics of the term, real-game examples and a mention of how frequent this term occurson the board.All this information is useful, as in this way you will get a better understanding of which terms are good and which bad,how good or bad a certain term is, be able to follow real-game examples and deduce everything about the usefulness of the term.As already observed, you will not find a more COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE on chess/chess evaluation than this one.The main asset of the book is its innovative approach and the great amount of high knowledge introduced.The book is suitable for all levels of chess, from beginner to advanced, as the approach it follows is based on pattern recognition. One just has to memorise the specific pattern featured on a diagram, and then apply it on the chess board!Nothing less, nothing more. The more terms you memorise, the better you will be at chess.MAKE NO MISTAKE: chess evaluation is the most important element in acquiring a better chess knowledge.You can play very good chess by being able to evaluate well, even if you are not able to calculate all lines very well,but the opposite is not quite true. If you don't know which positions are good and which bad, you will always bechoosing the bad ones!So, don't wait any longer, and just grab this UNIQUE chess knowledge guide, memorise all patterns inside and progressat chess much faster than you have ever thought possible.

Download or read book Secrets of Chess Endgame Strategy written by Lars Bo Hansen and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large proportion of chess games are decided in the endgame or in the transition to the endgame, but chess literature has provided relatively little guidance for players seeking to improve their skill in making the vital decisions in these phases of the game. Building on the ideas introduced in his ground-breaking work Foundations of Chess Strategy, Lars Bo Hansen provides a thought-provoking and convincing treatise on general endgame strategy. He explains how players can maximize the practical problems for their opponents while emphasizing the strengths of their own position. Under his guidance, chess-players will more easily focus on the key elements in the position, devise plans for exploiting them to the full, and develop a better understanding of which pieces need to be exchanged, and which weaknesses really matter. Part 1 of the book discusses the basic principles of endgame strategy and the thinking methods associated with them. In Part 2, Hansen moves on to consider a wealth of examples by the great masters of chess, showing how they have handled endgames in practice, often making difficult tasks appear simple, and in many cases bamboozling their opponents into self-destruction. Lars Bo Hansen is a well-known grandmaster from Denmark. He has won the Danish Championship on two occasions, and represented his country in four olympiads, winning a bronze medal for his individual performance in 1990. His many tournament victories include first prize in the strong Copenhagen Open in both 1997 and 2000. Away from the board, he teaches and lectures on business studies, with a particular focus on marketing, organization and strategy. This is his second book for Gambit.
