Download or read book London 1851 written by John Bleau and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London 1851 is both a historical document and an excellent book on how to calculate. This fourth edition has new topics and more diagrams. Good books on how to analyze, and how to calculate in particular, are hard to come by. The Turning Points series gives loads of well-analyzed exercise positions in problem-solution form, culled from famous tournaments, in which there was a possible inaccuracy, and challenges the reader to solve them better than the players did. The solutions not only contain the variations and some hindsight, they also point out the positional features that motivate our selection of candidate moves, steer us to the right decisions and guide our calculations. These features are known as the motives. Motives, like the Trema, Consecutive Rooks, the Knight's Collateral Squares, Pawn Links, the Queen Penetration Sac, and many others, will become easily identifiable on the board and the player will be equipped with characteristic ways to react to them. A new addition for June 2015 is "Running Captures". London 1851, with 166 analysis positions in problem-solution form and about 100 more in the appendices, is the best of the Turning Points Series so far: the difficulty ranges from very easy to extremely difficult so that the motives also range from the most fundamental (Kings-Floaters-Lines) to much more subtle ones like King Side Preponderance, which can clue the player in to highly surprising speculative sacrifices. The Appendices cover: A) Kings, Floaters, Lines, with a detailed look at the most fundamental motives B) The Attack, with a more in-depth look at attacks from the tournament C) (a brief look at) Promoting the Pawn, an area in which even today's top players still make serious mistakes. The book concludes with an extensive index.

This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help bring to the United States chess of the highest quality in the world, Mrs. Gregor Piatigorsky and her husband, the world renowned cellist, created the Piatigorsky Cup as a symbol of excellence in chess. Along with the trophy went the finest playing conditions and the highest prizes ever offered for any chess event. For the first time since 1932, a world chess champion appeared in an American tournament when Tigran Petrosian, USSR, joined seven other of the greatest international grandmasters in a month of competition at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Players, in addition to Petrosian, included Paul Keres, also of the Soviet Union; Miguel Najdorf and Oscar Panno of Argentina; Fridrik Olafsson of Iceland; Svetozar Gligoric of Yugoslavia; and Samuel Reshevsky and Pal Benko of the United States. This book contains the complete score of all 56 games played by these eight international grandmasters. All of the games have been converted into Algebraic Notation. Each of the players annotated the game he considered his best and Reshevsky annotated the rest. The book is edited by Isaac Kashdan. Many of these games are likely to become classics and every chess player, from novice to master, will be able to learn fine points of the game from this volume.

Download or read book San Antonio 1972 written by Bent Larsen and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Antonio 1972 was either the strongest chess tournament ever played in the history of the United States or, if not the very strongest, then second only to New York 1924. What makes this book especially great is not merely was it a great tournament with great players, but that the players annotated some of their own games. In this day and age, there are millions of games in the chess databases, but annotated games are increasingly hard to find. This book has games annotated by Karpov, Larsen, Hort, Suttles, Mecking, Donald Byrne, Gligoric, Keres, Saidy, Portisch, Kaplan, Evans and Smith. Two games were annotated by both Larsen and Petrosian. In addition, many of the games were annotated by International Master David Levy. This book was originally published in Descriptive Chess Notation. Since that time, Descriptive has become almost obsolete. For that reason, all 120 games in this book have been converted into modern Algebraic Notation and are included in an appendix in the back of the book. The games in the back are grouped and sorted alphabetically according to the player of the white pieces. Thus, all games in which Browne played White are first, followed by the games by Byrne, Campos-Lopez, Evans, Gligoric, Hort, Kaplan, Karpov, Keres, Larsen, Mecking, Petrosian, Portisch, Saidy and Smith in that order.

Download or read book Chess Tournament the London 1851 written by Howard Staunton and published by Hardinge Simpole Limited. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Staunton, the organiser of London 1851 and writer of the book, was the epitome of mid-Victorian versatility and self confidence. By defeating the leading French and German masters such as St Amant, Horwitz and Harrwitz in gruelling set matches, Staunton had established himself as the champion. Now, by organising the first ever International Chess Tournament, Staunton hoped to display chess in its true colours, amongst the imperial splendour of the 1851 Great Exhibition in Queen Victoria's London. Although Staunton did not win the tournament, this honour falling to the German master Adolph Anderssen, this record of the inaugural international chess gathering provides a fitting monument to Staunton's prowess and love of the game.
