Download or read book Winning Chess Combinations written by Yasser Seirawan and published by Everyman Chess. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combinations are the central element in chess; they make the game so magical and captivating. The beautiful point of sacrificing a queen, the strongest piece, in order to checkmate with a lowly pawn brings a smile of joy to all chess lovers. Virtually all chess games possess a combination, either one hidden in the shadows of analysis carefully avoided or one that provides a decisive blow. Winning Chess Combinations is a unique work that doesn't merely repeat the wonderfully rich and vast numbers of combinations, asking readers to solve a particular diagrammed position; it is a work that is far more realistic. A combination involves a sacrifice upsetting the balance of forces, but will it work or tragically boomerang? The reader is invited to solve this critical question by identifying the advantages that a specific position holds which might make the combination successful.

Download or read book BLUMENSTAND written by Frank Luger and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Blumenstand" (German for Flowers-stand") is an almost comprehensive collection of the Author's nonscientific essays and miscellaneous writings covering a period of more than thirty-five years. The articles touch upon a great variety of both academic and non-academic topics from anthropology to sociology, from psychology to philosophy, from history to music, from literature to politics and political science, from religion to morality, from chess- playing to dart-playing, from horseracing and travel to whisky-distilling, etc. For the sake of levity, even some jokes and humorous anecdotes are included. However, there is no unifying theme as such, and neither the collection nor its presentation has any particular sequence or structure. The book is richly illustrated, as per topic relevance. It is sincerely hoped that this modest anthology will serve both informative and entertaining purposes. This is a recently completed original literary work, first published in December 2007. and re-published in July 2019.
