This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Key to the Chess Openings, on a Novel Plan: Theoretically and Practically Considered, and Illustrated With Diagrams We ask for Chess, and we seek no more, that it should be allowed to take its turn, more generally than it does now, amongst the other amusements of mankind. It is a game which can be played by both sexes, young and old, and at all times of the year. Music and cricket, amusements also, are learned at most schools; why should not Chess, likewise? As there is a piano in almost every drawing room, Why should there not be a Chess-board in every parlor As cricket invigorates the body, and music charms the soul, why not add, in as universal a way, Chess to amuse the intelligent mind Life must have its pleasing and virtuous amusements, not as the business of life, but to alternate with its duties and its cares. The hardest worked men would find Chess eu agreeable change from their avocations. Mr. Buckle, the author of the stupendous History of Civilization, was accustomed almost daily, after several hours of literary work, to repair to a Chess resort in London, and suhati tute for his labors some most, what is technically called, difficult Chess, since he was one of the best players of his time. N 0 one need be deterred on account of age, sex, or occupation, from learning and practising the game. Mr. Morphy, under age, established his superiority over the veterans of America and Europe and many good players are amongst the gentler sex. To excel In the game depends upon one' s capacity and liking for it, coupled with moderate amount of study, and practice with strong players. N 0 game is easier to learn in its elements. A friend could teach the moves in a quarter of an hour. The general meaning of the principal openings can be understood In a few weeks, and then the student will acknowledge the beauty of the game, its wonderful and ever-changing combinations, the charm of those intricacies which never satiate, the depth, the variety of its infinite variations. He who has learned Chess has never regretted it; and few who have played it, with even a moderate degree of excellence, have ever abandoned it altogether.

Download or read book Planning Move by Move written by Zenón Franco and published by Everyman Chess. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “First the idea and then the move!” Miguel Najdorf used to say in his habitually enthusiastic fashion; that statement is the perfect summary of planning in chess. Planning is of crucial importance in chess and yet this is an area that has not been well discussed or explained to ambitious players who wish to improve. A very well known saying in chess is “Better a bad plan than no plan at all”. Playing without a plan – effectively staggering from one move to the next – is a recipe for disaster. It is essential to have some kind of idea of what you are trying to achieve and how to go about it. However, planning is not a straightforward matter. A good plan might be very short, lasting just two or three moves. Another plan might require almost an entire game to implement. A plan can be highly ambitious and complex or somewhat modest and simple. In chess, as in life, circumstances can change quickly and when they do, new plans are needed. How is a player expected to juggle all these different concepts while dealing with the immediate problems posed by the opponent’s most recent move? In this book, grandmaster and experienced author Zenón Franco explains planning in detail. He organises material in terms of: typical structures, advantage in space, manoeuvring play, simplification and, finally attack and defence. Using games played by elite players he explains how plans are formed and carried out in these different scenarios. If you want to take your game to the next level, then Planning Move by Move will enable you to do this.
