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.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 196 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 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.

Download or read book Morphy s Games of Chess written by Paul Charles Morphy and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1957-06-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you often lose at chess simply because you are not aggressive enough? You can put boldness into your chess game by following the brilliant moves of Paul Morphy, who has been called the greatest chess player of all time. This volume contains 300 of Morphy's best games, carefully annotated by Philip W. Sergeant. While Morphy wrote no books on chess theory and seldom expounded his methods in public, his theories are clearly demonstrated in the games in this volume. You can systematically improve your own game, you can add brilliance to your play by following the technique of quick, forceful development and opening of lines developed by the great 19th-century World Champion. In a new introduction, Fred Reinfeld, well-known American chess authority, states: "By emphasizing the role of systematic, aggressive development, Morphy helped to mold chess into an art form and into the highest phase of intellectual struggle." Included in this completely unabridged volume are 54 classic games against such masters as Anderssen, Harrwitz, Mongredien, Bird, Paulsen, and others. There are also 52 games at odds, 52 blindfold games, plus more than 100 others. These games, with explanatory text, offer a great champion's interpretation of such standard chess openings as the Dutch Defense, Evans Gambit, Giuoco Piano, and Ruy Lopez.
