    Chess Openings for Juniors
    Author:
    Kalinichenko

    The vast majority of opening guides are written for adult readers. This book is also devoted to the theory but it is junior. The structure of the book is simple and attractive: openings are examined using examples from actual games, each of which is presented in the form of a lesson with its own name. Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme. Written in clear and easy language, the book is furnished with a large number of diagrams. Colored explanatory arrows on the diagrams and the selection of individual pages with a colored background make the book easier to understand. Regular work solve two problems: deepen the student's knowledge and develop his tactical vision, thus improving his skill and results.

    Basic chess endings
    Author:
    Fine

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    NIC Forum Readers from all over the world join in discussions of previous surveys. Both (grand) masters and club players shed their light on new discovery and search together for the truth. Sosonko & Corner The game Smeets-Pavasovic from the Grandmaster C Group of the 2004 CORUS Chess Tournament brought Sosonko back to his childhood days in Leningrad. The teachers at the Pioneer Palace would have never been approved of the moves these young grandmasters were playing: g2-g4 for White and especially Bf8-d6, putting the bishop in front of the queen & s pawn. Sosonko calls it Fidel & amp; Attack. Read why! Book Review The publication of the third edition of John Watson & s classic "Play the French" and a trilogy on the same opening by Lev Psakhis, whose books are always worth a detour, are an excellent starting point for . And Sakaev & s Queen & amp; Gambit Accepted monograph is the ideal finale. According to Flear it is an ideal practical book for those who want to learn about this opening.

With contributions by John Watson, Jacob Aagaard, and many others. Sosonko & Corner Yasser Seirawan believes 1.e4 is "obviously the most aggressive move", but Evgeny Sveshnikov takes it a step further. He is a man of strong opinions and labels 1.e4 as "the strongest young sisters" Garry Kasparov classified all openings after 1.e4 and explains why Sveshnikov stopped playing the Sveshnikov Variation In reply to a fashionable way to circumvent his latest love (4 ... e5!) Sveshnikov has developed a new gambit. Book Review The word "repertoire" is used universally, but not always explained. So for that matter is the term "World Champion", but that & amp; s another story. In his column Glenn Flear reviews Khalifman & s two books on the repertoire of Vishy Anand (1.e4) and gives it "thumbs up". He asked a man to have a look at them and give his opinion.

The difference with the other two books under review could not be much bigger. The Two Knights Defense by Jan Pinski and The Catalan by Alex Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik are both serious monographs, be it on totally different openings.
