                  Moves 3 to 10 de Nerry Strasman
                      Documentation échiquéenne
                      I used to play a lot of chess as a teenager many decades ago. Those days, there were hardly any computers that played the game and there was certainly no Internet. Learning new ideas in the game was possible only through books or magazines and if something was not clear, there weren’t too many people to consult for explanations. I was never a great player and quit when other things in life...

                              Composing and solving chess problems can seem like an entirely different world from regular chess, and in many ways, they are, but there are plenty of overlapping issues and applications. In this volume, James Rayner, who was a leading composer in his own right and the editor of the chess problem section in British Chess Magazine, dives into how to compose and solve chess problems,...

                                              There are already many endgame books, so why this one? Well, most books deal with elementary endgames, or are very advanced and contain few exercises. But you have only really learned something when you can execute it at the board, with the clock ticking. And solving exercises is very close to this scenario. The authors present 450 endgame exercises designed to improve your...

This is an exhausting task, which gets more difficult by the day. However, there is a different strategy which is more practical and designed for longevity. This is to develop an advanced understanding of typical positions. Such a policy is the best approach against different move orders and...
