Download or read book The Queen s Indian Defense written by Maxim Chetverik and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Master Maxim Chetverik has written an in-depth study of one of the most popular choices by white in the Queen's Indian Defense - the main line with 4.g3, where white fianchettoes his bishop. This line is often seen at top-level chess. A key focus of this work is an examination of new lines that have recently appeared in the arsenal of grandmasters. The full range of continuations for both white and black are covered in this textbook, including hybrids with the Bogo-Indian Defense and certain Catalan, Dutch, Benoni and Hedgehog-type set-ups, as well as key themes such as hanging pawns, the isolated queen's pawn, white's four versus three ranks advantage, the closed center with the pawn structure being c4­-d5-­e4 against c5(c7)-­d6­-e5 and structures with semi-open files, making it an essential and comprehensive guide for players on both sides of the board in this variation. Maxim makes this book particularly user-friendly by his focus on learning the key ideas through practical games, as well as his use of "land-mines", transposition alerts and key tips. This book contains 181 full games in this line and several hundred fragments with detailed and original commentary by the author focused throughout on giving a balanced evaluation in what are complicated positions. Many of these games feature the world's greatest players, including world champions Carlsen, Anand, Kramnik, Kasparov, Karpov, Spassky, Petrosian, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik and Alekhine, and other top players including Caruana, Shankland, Nakamura, So, Mamedyarov, Aronian, Grischuk, Ivanchuk, Karjakin, Harikrishna, Adams, Shirov, Gelfand, Topalov, Korchnoi and Timman. Maxim himself has played over 100 official games in this line, making him a leading expert in the Queen's Indian Defense in general and the 4.g3 line in particular. Four of his games are in included in full in this volume, as well as a number of fragments.

Download or read book Indian Tactics written by Tim Sawyer and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Indian Tactics chess book gives you 500 positions from actual games that use combinations and checkmates. All games in these Indian Defences follow after the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4. Indian Defenses include openings like Budapest (2...e5), Benko Gambit and Benoni Defence (2...c5 3.d5), Gruenfeld Defence (2...g6 and ...d5), the Catalan Opening (2...e6 3.g3), Queen's Indian Defence (2...e6 3.Nf3 b6), Nimzo-Indian Defence (2...e6 3.Nc3 Bb4), and King's Indian Defence (2...g6 and ...d6). The Indian Defenses teach you to fight for a win with dynamic pawn structures. When you run toward tactics, you run toward success. Tactics help you to attack and defend accurately. This book shows winning positions played by masters into early 2021. If you're good at tactics, you're good at chess. Opening theory may help you start well. Endgame knowledge may help you finish well. Tactical skill helps you win games and avoid losses. Tactics include pins, forks, removing the defender, attacking two pieces at the same time, and threatening to mate your opponent. The easiest path to tactical success is to recognize patterns that occur frequently in your favorite chess openings. Grandmasters know tactics and can easily slide from one opening to another. Everyone knows a few positions. Here's 500 in Indian Defences. Tactical knowledge helps you to improve your winning chances. Take your opponent's pieces. Pick off the pawns. Mate the king! Don't rely on dumb luck. How can "dumb luck" allow you to win? You can win a few games when your opponent makes dumb moves. That's when your opponent gives up a piece for nothing. You're lucky when your opponent fails to defend a mate in one. To advance, you need more than dumb luck. You need tactics. Fifty years ago Tim Sawyer played the Gruenfeld Defence. Later, he added all the Indian Defences to his repertoire, eventually from both sides. The purpose of this book is to illustrate and teach Indian Defence Tactics. I assume you can read algebraic chess notation. The White pieces are positioned at the bottom of each diagram. Above each diagram note who can move and win. It's either White to play a tactical move or Black to play a tactical move. Some moves are simple and easy. Others are subtle and tricky. That's chess - lots of obvious moves and lots of sneaky moves. Look at each diagram. It's a key position ready for a tactical win. The final moves are in bold with a brief analysis or comment. Chess engines were used to ensure the accuracy of analysis. Follow the moves in your mind. The skill to visualize each new position without moving pieces improves your tactical strength.Indian Tactics is a companion to Queens Gambit Tactics. White plays 1.d4 and 2.c4 to influence the squares e5, d5, c5, and b5. Black hinders 2.e4 by either 1.d4 d5 or 1.d4 Nf6, but White may play for a later e4. Black seeks counterplay in Indian Defences. Discover strong moves after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 with a brief comment. White has many reliable strategies to play for an advantage by controlling the center. Black always has reasonable options to fight back by employing what is called a hypermodern strategy. Black maintains flexibility with the plan to counter attack at the earliest possible moment. Either player may sacrifice a pawn, a piece, or the Exchange to speed up the attack. Any action in the center can turn quickly toward the kingside or the queenside. Games are arranged by ECO (Encyclopedia of Chess Openings) coding (A50 to A79; D70 to E99) proceeding generally from less popular to more popular moves. Note: ECO updates their codes from time to time. I used the codes games had in my database. Ideas in this book come from the Indian Defences, but take note: These same tactical patterns work in other chess openings too. World champions have played Indian Defences from both sides. Improve your chess. Go for the win! Buy Indian Tactics now.

Download or read book The Nimzo Indian 4 E3 written by Carsten Hansen and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Nimzowitsch introduced his flexible, dynamic defence to the queen's pawn, debate has raged over White's best reply. Many variations have been in and out of fashion, but one line in particular has proved an enduring weapon - the sound and solid 4 e3 line, known as the Rubinstein Variation. The 4 e3 Nimzo is extraordinarily rich in strategy. All manner of different central pawn-structures can arise, such as the blocked centre characteristic of the Hubner Variation and a variety of IQP positions. Moreover, in some lines the central tension persists well into the middlegame. The 4 e3 Nimzo provides a stern test of both players' understanding of chess, and so is an ideal choice for those who are looking to win as either colour.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Steven Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life.”—Pat Conroy At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army. Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history—one that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale. . . .

Book excerpt: A twenty-first–century twelve-year-old seeks the truth behind his grandmother’s trauma in this moving novel of family, love, memory, and the toll of war. Singapore, 1942. As Japanese troops sweep down Malaysia and into Singapore, a village is ransacked, leaving only two survivors and one tiny child. In a neighboring village, seventeen-year-old Wang Di is strapped into the back of a troop carrier and shipped off to a Japanese military brothel where she is forced into sexual slavery as a “comfort woman.” After sixty years of silence, what she saw and experienced still haunts her. In the year 2000, twelve-year-old Kevin is sitting beside his ailing grandmother when he overhears a mumbled confession. He sets out to discover the truth, wherever it might lead, setting in motion a chain of events he never could have foreseen. Weaving together two timelines and two very big secrets, this stunning debut opens a window on a little-known period of history, revealing the strength and bravery shown by numerous women in the face of terrible cruelty. Drawing in part on her family’s experiences, Jing-Jing Lee has crafted a profoundly moving, unforgettable novel about human resilience, the bonds of family and the courage it takes to confront the past. Perfect for fans of Pachinko and We Were the Lucky Ones.
