Chess For Dummies, 2nd EditionPDF - 387 PagesProduct DescriptionMany consider chess to be the best game ever invented. Chess imposes a set of rules and has finite limits, but just as you start to think you’re finally solving its mysteries, chess thwarts you. Sometimes, therefore, the game is frustrating, but far more often, chess proves both surprising and delightful. The deeper you get into chess, the more of its secrets you unearth — but the game has never been tapped out. Even today’s monster computers are far from playing the theorized “perfect” chess game.HomepageDOWNLOAD(Size: 11,5 MB)RapidShare LinkEasy-Share Linkpassword: www.softarchive.net

In chess, there are two basic principles that must be respected:1.Removing blunders: Only the attacker can win the game. A game is always won by an attack. As long as your opponent is attacking you are occupied by parrying that attack. 2.Only the player with the initiative can successfully attack! The player that does not have the initiative can often bring forth a sortie, but in order to gin up a successful attack the player must have the initiative.Couple this thinking with the fact that white has an initiative by virtue of the first move. Thus, white is favored to win. He will win if he can hold the initiative. He can lose if he loses the initiative. In many games the initiative changes hands, sometimes it changes often: perhaps because it is not respected; or because both play

Authors and publishers who really can't be arsed and don't mind showing it ...R.D. Keene,Flank OpeningsBritish Chess Magazine 1988Page 104:"In this section I examine a few lines of the English which were not included in the scheme of the first edition, and were only touched on lightly in the supplement to the second ...Perhaps a 4th edition of 'Flank Openings' will include all lines of the English in detail, but if it does, I fear 'Flank Openings' will have to divide amoeba-like into two volumes!"I wouldn't have minded were it not for the fact that I was reading the effing 4th edition. Obviously RDK was far too busy to get off his capacious backside and give the text even the most cursory of once-overs to see if anything might need changing. And, by the way, no it hadn't divided, 'amoeba-l

Remember Wesley So, the youngest grandmaster in the world at 14 years old.   He surprised a strong pack of experienced players to walk away with the Dubai Open Chess Championship title at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club.He finished with 7.0 points on six wins, one loss and two draws after nine games of play. The young So actually finished in a tie with Grandmasters Gagunashvili Merab of Georgia, Ghaem Maghami Ehsan of Iran and Li Chao of China, but emerged the champion by virtue of a superior tie break score. He took home the prestigious Sheikh Rashed Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum Cup and a fourth ($4,500) of the combined prize of $18,000.

Wow, this is a fascinating interview with the guy who was the factual basis for the movie, Searching for Bobby Fisher. Josh Waitzkin fell somewhat out of love with chess and got into taichi. Eventually reconciling his problems with chess, he came to equate the two arts as the same thing. In the end of this interview he talks about a fascinating perceptual thing that goes on in the martial arts - time dilation. I'm ordering the book he's hyping in this video because it sounds super interesting and right up my alley.

Chess Boards – The ever-evolving chess game componentBy: Michiel Van Kets According to an online independent voluntary judiciary committee, there are approximately 43 recognized chess variants, and the number is growing. The increased variety of game play has not only attracted whole new leagues of chess players, but it has also created new chess board designs far different than the original 8 X 8 chess boards. This adventurous exploration of the game’s various geometrical and multi-plane possibilities has helped to put forward many new and interesting design concepts. Most new chess board designs, however, fail the test of time. This is usually due to the inventor’s flawed understanding of entertainment value and the necessary math that made chess the game that it is in the first pl

There are three major skills in chess. If we possess one of the three we can play chess. If we possess two of the three we can play chess well. If we possess all three, to a high degree, we will become expert at the game. These, like all other skills, are honed with practice or ‘calisthenics’. Let’s look at each of the three, briefly.First is memory. Playing mental games often hones memory, but few of us will use more than a tenth of this ability in our lifetime. In chess, the openings require memory. What is important is not memorizing the moves, but in memorizing the position arrived at by the moves. Let’s look at an example: A few months ago one of my students wrote and told me that he wanted to play the Semi-slave with Black; but his opponents were taking him out of

Regular visitors to the S&BCC blog may recall that about six months ago we blogged a story about The Bitsevsky Maniac - a chessplaying serial killer in Moscow who may, or may not (reports vary) have counted his victims by placing coins on a chessboard.It seems we now have another chess-loving serial killer on our hands. Earlier this week one Michel Fourniret went on trial in France after apparently confessing to the murder of seven women over a fifteen year period ending in 2001.We learn from yesterday's Independent that Fourniret is "... a man who likes to play mind games with investigators". Perhaps not surprising, then, to find the Guardian reporting that like the aforementioned Mr. Maniac, Fourniret is a "keen chess player". You may prefer the Times' description of him as a "bespec

Hello friends. I am here again continuing on with the main topic of the first article “planning the game and play according to a plan”.

I discussed many ideas in the previous article; if any of those ideas don’t seem clear, take your time, work through them. There is no reason to rush through this course. If I talk about a position, set it up on your chess board; Look at it on the screen. Take your time and make sure you understand the idea of my plan. Remember, in general, when you are studying chess, if your brain hurts, if you are pushing yourself, you’re stretching your mind, then you are learning. If you are just playing thro
