  • Basic chess endings
    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.

    Gezalyan

    International Master Tibor Karolyi and FIDE Master Tigran Gozalyan have prepared a major work (in two volumes) about the life and work of the 9th world chess champion Tigran Petrosyan (he held the title from 1963 to 1969).  Volume II (1963-1984) tells about Petrosyan's victory in the 1963 world title match over Mikhail Botvinnik, about the grandiose two-match confrontation with Boris Spassky in 1966 and 1969, about all his candidates' matches after losing the title – against Bobby Fischer, Viktor Korchnoi and other world-class opponents. All tournaments and matches of the second half of Petrosian's chess career are presented, up to his last performances in 1983. The authors subjected 175 complete games and fragments to an in-depth analysis (using modern computers). Not all of them have been deeply studied and commented on before, but even then the book provides a significantly improved analysis. Among Petrosyan’s opponents – world champions and contenders Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Bronstein, as well as Timman, Larsen, Reshevsky, Belyavsky, Polugaevsky, Portisch, Romanishin and many others.

    «Мозаика». Цель игры — передвигая фрагменты картинки нажатием стилуса на каждый из них рядом с пустой ячейкой, собрать данную картинку целиком. Особенность этой игры состоит в том, что Вы можете сами устанавливать количество фрагментов, составляющих картинку. «Pacman». Это классический pacman, В этой игре необходимо убегать от монстров, съедая витамины, при этом есть бонусы. Если Вы съедите бонус-биту, то Вы сами можете некоторое время есть монстров, а съеденные Вами бонус-часики уменьшают скорость передвижения монстров. «Классические пятнашки». Цель игры — передвигая фишки с числами нажатием стилуса на фишку рядом с пустой ячейкой, собрать их в исходную последовательность. Особенность этой игры в том, что, во-первых, Вы можете сами устанавливать размер поля (от 3×3 до 6×6), а, во-вторых, можете одним нажатием стилуса передвинуть сразу несколько подряд стоящих фишек. Выигрышной комбинацией является такая, при которой все фишки выставлены по порядку, причем пустая ячейка стоит последней. «Puzzle». Вы считаете, что у Вас хорошая память? Тогда сыграйте в нашу игру-головоломку. Цель игры следующая: воссоздать целую картинку из ее фрагментов, хаотично разбросанных по игровому полю. «Властелин камней». Цель юры — занять наибольшую область. Игроки ходят по очереди. Флажок игрока, который ходит, подсвечен. При нажатии на шар можно увидеть область, в которой Вы можете сделать ход. Если Вы ходите в соседнюю ячейку, то Ваш шар в нее копируется, в противном случае — просто перемещается. Если после Вашего хода рядом с Вашим шаром оказываются шары противника, то эти шары переходят к Вам. Игра идет до заполнения всего поля или до невозможности одному из игроков сделать ход. Внимание!

Обучающие программы "Сыграйте, как Алехин" с 200 тщательно отобранными позициями "Сыграйте, как Таль" с 260 позициями предлагают игроку найти неожиданные ходы, комбинации и позиционные решения, использовавшиеся двумя шахматными гениями. Пока игрок пытаетесь решить ту или иную позицию, программа дает текстовые и графические подсказки и отвергает неверные ходы. Рейтинг выстраивается в соответствии с достигнутыми успехами и меняется после каждого разыгранного примера. Дополняют диск раритетные фотографии выдающихся гроссмейстеров и результаты всех турниров, в которых они принимали участие. Особенности игры: • Более 3 800 прокомментированных партий А. Алехина и М. Таля • Встроенные игровые аналитические программы мастерского уровня Crafty и "Дракон" • Полные таблицы турнирных результатов • Архив раритетных фотографий Установка программы: • Вставьте компакт-диск с программой в CD-ROM дисковод или сэмулируйте. • Следуйте указаниям программы установки. • От регистрации можно отказаться. • Выберите Installation Directory (папку для установки). По умолчанию Программа устанавливается в папку 'C:Program filesШахматные гении'. Однако, прежде чем файлы начали копироваться на жесткий диск, вы можете изменить путь. • В диалоговом окне вы можете выбрать компоненты программы и данных по своему усмотрению. • Для упрощения доступа к программе в ходе установки будут созданы три ярлыка на рабочем столе. В дальнейшем для запуска программы достаточно будет дважды щелкнуть мышью на одном из ярлыков. Если установка пройдет удачно, то будет предложено запустить программу. (*) Я ставил программу эту приятелю на Висту «хитрым» способом, а именно: • жесткий диск разбит у него (условно) на два диска (C и D), Виста стоит на «С» • а я задал путь установки программы : D: Шахматные гении' (т.е. на «D»). • ИГРА УСПЕШНО ПОШЛА, а при установке на диск “C” – Виста её вырубала. Если винчестер не разбит условно на два диска, можно попробовать поставить в корень диска "С", т.е. C: Шахматные гении'. ПОСЛЕДНИЙ И САМЫЙ ГЛАВНЫЙ СОВЕТ Несмотря на то, что таблетка не требуется, СОВЕТУЮ ЗАПИСАТЬ ОБРАЗ НА CD ИЛИ СЭМУЛИРОВАТЬ, т.к. программа эта после нескольких (кажется 30 или более) заходов, требует диск для продолжения работы, И КОГДА ДИСК ЕЙ ДАДИТЕ, она снова будет себя хорошо вести на очередные 30 или более заходов.
