And, after racking their brains to come up with answers, players can then compare their findings with those of Grandmaster Chris Ward, who offers deep and imaginative analysis of the solutions.

Download or read book How to Beat Magnus Carlsen written by Cyrus Lakdawala and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnus Carlsen is arguably the strongest player of all time. His dominance is such that every loss comes as a shock. They remind us that even he has his weak moments. In fact, identifying the root causes of his losses holds valuable lessons for all players. Cyrus Lakdawala’s search starts with a series of Magnus wins and draws to give the reader a feel for how incredibly difficult it is to beat him. The World Champion’s arsenal is awesome: a superlative ability to concentrate and calculate, near-perfect intuition, probably the best endgame technique ever, a wide and creative opening repertoire, a willingness to unbalance the position almost anytime, and last but not least: his unparalleled will to win. How to Beat Magnus Carlsen has a thematic structure, which, together with Lakdawala’s uniquely accessible style, makes its lessons easy to digest. Sometimes even Magnus gets outplayed, sometimes he over-presses and goes over the cliff’s edge, and sometimes he fails to find the correct plan. And yes, even Magnus Carlsen commits straightforward blunders. Lakdawala explains the how and the why. This fascinating collection includes the game that put an end to the longest non-losing streak in classical games in chess history. It lasted more than two years and 125(!) games, and ended when Jan-Krzysztof Duda beat Magnus Carlsen at the Altibox tournament in Stavanger on October 10, 2020. It’s wonderful to have a World Champion who is not just incredibly strong but who is also happy to experiment and take risks. That’s what makes Magnus Carlsen such a fascinating chess player. And that’s why he is the hero of this book. There is no doubt that Carlsen has examined all his losses under a microscope. If he benefits from this process, then so will we.

Download or read book The Gambit Book of Instructive Chess Puzzles written by Graham Burgess and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solving tactical puzzles is one of the most effective ways to improve your chess. This convenient book provides 300 exercises, with instructive points highlighted in the solutions. There is something here for everyone. The puzzles in the first two chapters are based on a clear-cut tactic or checkmate, such as those explained in Gambit's best-sellers How to Beat Your Dad at Chess and Chess Tactics for Kids. The endgame challenges highlight tactics and principles in action. In practice it is vital to defend resiliently and seek counterattacking chances - there is an innovative chapter on these rarely-covered themes as well as puzzles where the reader must decide how to punch home an attack. Later chapters help readers develop a vital skill: the ability to make tough chessboard decisions. Attack, sacrifice, grab material, defend or simplify - it's for you to decide! Principles and guidelines are emphasized, together with common sources of error. The final section of puzzles will prove a stern challenge even for the best players, with the reader exposed to the full complexity of modern chess - with a few helpful hints along the way.
Download or read book John Nunn s Chess Puzzle Book written by John Nunn and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most chess puzzle books put you in an artificial situation: you are told a combination exists, what the theme is and what you are required to achieve. This one is different. In a real game, a player may sometimes need to find a combination. On the other hand he may have to reject a tactical idea and simply find a good positional move. His task is to find the right move, whatever it may be. The 300 puzzles in this book put you precisely in that situation. Spectacular ideas abound in these positions, but it is for you to decide whether to go in for them, or whether you would be falling into a trap. If you need them, there are hints to help you on your way. The book ends with a series of tests to measure your skills against those of other players. For this new edition, John Nunn, a top-class grandmaster and a solving world champion, has added 50 new puzzles (with hints and detailed solutions) to test your skills to the full. For ease of following, extra diagrams have been added to the solutions throughout. Overall the book is 60 per cent bigger than the first edition.

Book excerpt: The true-life adventures of Stacy Kanner, a single school teacher working in various small Christian schools around the world, continue in Choices, Changes, and Challenges, Stephanie Kauffman’s latest installment in her series of memoirs. As always, accident-prone Stacy witnesses the grace of God in her life in moments that could be pulled out of an action film. From riding a motorcycle with a freshly-plastered cast on her leg, to swimming with a shark in the Caribbean Sea, Stacy keeps you wondering what will happen next. Set in the 1990s, the story takes readers to various locales in Canada, the United States, Belize, Haiti, and New Zealand. Each new destination presents its share of challenges and anxieties, all of which serve to fortify Stacy’s faith and draw her closer to God. The book begins as Stacy returns to Red Lake in northern Ontario to commence a teaching position at a local church-school. At every school she bonds with students by throwing herself into their activities whole-heartedly, memorizing the Gospel of John, engaging in a fitness regimen, and even building tents in the “Arab desert.” Her passion for people and creativity is contagious! Readers will experience Stacy’s wide range of emotions as they walk with her through this time in her life, and they will also rejoice with her at the goodness of God. To be read as the fourth book in a series or as a stand-alone novel, Choices, Changes, and Challenges will inspire, delight, and challenge!
