Download or read book The Modern Chess Instructor written by Wilhelm Steinitz and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brilliant Originality of Steinitz More than 125 years ago, one of the first great chess books appeared. The Modern Chess Instructor, Part I, written by then world champion Wilhelm Steinitz, was released in 1889. It was his magnum opus, setting forth for the first time the principles of modern chess. It is no exaggeration to say that Steinitz’s writings have influenced every great player since. As American grandmaster Andy Soltis notes in his foreword to this classic: The bulk of The Modern Chess Instructor is devoted to opening analysis and annotated games that illustrate the analysis. But it is filled with original Steinitz ideas. This may be why Bobby Fischer was his greatest 20th century fan. Fischer was always looking for forgotten opening moves. In MCI and Steinitz’s International Chess Magazine he found some that he later revived in tournaments, such as 9.Nh3 in the main line of the Two Knights Defense and 5.Qe2 in the Petroff (after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 exd4 4.e5 Ne4). Of course, the opening analysis of MCI is dated and the openings are out of fashion. But unpopular openings are not necessarily bad openings. Ask Magnus Carlsen. When he played 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.0-0 against Sergey Karjakin in 2016 title match, it was the first time these moves had appeared in more than a century of world championship games. This 21st century edition has converted the archaic English descriptive notation to algebraic and reformatted the text so that it conforms to the expectations of the 21st century chessplayer. The Modern Chess Instructor’s rare second part, published in 1895, has also been added. The result is a genuine treasure trove of original ideas coupled with exposition of the foundation of modern chess theory. Every chessplayer will find The Modern Chess Instructor enjoyable and instructive, a journey back to the theoretical roots of modern chess.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chess Sparks, or Short and Bright Games of Chess A spark must, of course, be brief as Well as bright, and so these Chess Games are limited to twenty moves before a winning position is obtained. It may be thought that such games cannot be worth atten tion, because they must be necessarily more or less badly played. This may be partly true, but it is equally true that the length of a game affords no proof of the soundness of the play. A game without any mistake on either side is generally dull and uninteresting. Moreover, it may be just as useful, and some times nearly as difficult, to detect the error in a short game as in a long one.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chess for Beginners: And the Beginnings of Chess The object of this work is to give a clear summary of the elements of Chess, and to bring within a small compass much of the knowledge that has been gained about the literary and historical features of this ancient pastime. In carrying out the first part of his task the author has endeavoured to obviate the necessity of a teacher; and if to do this many words have been used, it should be remembered how many more would be employed in an oral lesson over a board.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense in Chess The following is an abstract of Twelve Lectures given before an audience of London chess players during the spring of 1895. It may be regarded as an attempt to deal with all parts of a game of chess by the aid of general principles. The principles laid down are deduced from considerations concerning the nature of Chess as a fight between two brains, and their conception is based on simple facts. Their practical working has been illustrated by positions adapted to the purpose, and likely to occur over the board.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Chess-Play: A New Treatise on the Game of Chess The tone In which an author handles his subject, and the rating he bears on the ship's books by public admission, must ever be taken into consideration, in judging how far he has rightly exercised his privilege to borrow from his neigh bours, and equals only, in knowledge. The very nature Of Chess-play, like that of chemistry or mathematics, renders any treatise necessarily imperfect, unless In some measure based upon the stores and discoveries Of past and contem porary collectors. In making honourable acknowledgment of similar Obligations, it must be evident this cannot be done to the very letter, though the spirit must be ever before us..

Download or read book The Middle Game in Chess Classic Reprint written by Eugene Znosko-Borovsky and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Middle Game in Chess Such an abnormal state of affairs has induced me to occupy myself for a long time with the theoretical study Of the middle game. There was no question for me, IS such a study possible? Why, I should like to know, Should that question arise? TO me the study seemed not only very desirable, but also quite necessary. My only doubt was how to begin it and how best to carry it out. Everything had to be created. There was not even a classification, which is the basis of all science; and the mass Of raw material - the endless number of annotated games - alarmed me by its immensity. AS I pursued my study, I saw very clearly that the middle game in chess is chess itself. Chess is neither the ending, which may Often be reduced to a mere arithmetical calcula tion, nor the opening, which, starting from a constant set position, develops the forces by an involuntary following of beaten paths. The middle game, I repeat, is chess itself; chess, with all its possibilities, its attacks, defences, sacrifices, etc. If, therefore, there is a theory of the game, not as a conglomeration Of different variations, but as a system of general concrete realities based on objective facts, then the theory of the middle game will present no special difficulties. Up to now no such theory has existed. The discussions with regard to the middle game were still in the air. The theory which was right for one position might be quite wrong for another. Where could be found the basis of agreement, to compel assent? Thus I came to the conclusion that it was first of all necessary to study the game of chess in general, the game founded on objective facts.
