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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chess combinations fill the heart with creative pleasure. We admire the beauty of combinations in which the most fantastic ideas are embodied in the most fantastic battle of white and black pieces. A chess player can only consider himself a true artist if he has managed to discover the secrets of deep combinational ideas and to become a creator of this unique world. However, the path of learning is thorny. It is possible to get closer to the goal only through constant and serious training in the practical struggle. By reading this book, the reader will be able to witness the training sessions of my students at the Riga Chess Club, where I try to familiarize them with the most important combinational ideas. Especially important are the self-training sessions for the students in our practicum. This training should accelerate the process of development of combinational vision, to teach how to think independently.
Download or read book Combinations written by Irving Chernev and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irving Chernev's outstanding chess books earn him a high rank among the world's top chess authors. In this well-annotated text, Mr. Chernev guides his readers to an understanding of the subtleties of combinative play. Step-by-step from the simplest combinations to the most complex, the book explains the intricacies of pins and counter-pins, Knight forks, smothered mates, and other elements of combination play. There is a discussion in chapter five of combinations lurking in roads not taken — alternate lines of play show up in Chernev's notes to the game, while the sixth chapter, "Convincing the Kibitzers," shows the second-guessers what would have happened had the masters done the obvious. (Some disastrous combinations show up here.) A host of boomerangs follow — cases where the player didn't look far enough ahead and his combination, instead of bringing about the opponent's ruin, paved the way to his defeat. Chapters eight through twenty one take up combinations used by such great players as Tarrasch, Botvinnik, Nimzovich, Steinitz, Rubinstein, and Pillsbury; the sacrificial combinations of Anderssen and Spielmann; the dazzling brilliancies of Morphy, Keres, and Alekhine; the deadly attacks of Marshall; the almost unfathomable ideas of Lasker; and the matchless creations of Capablanca. Mr. Chernev's thoughtful annotations unravel the secrets of each of these plans. A diagram accompanies each combination; an index, by player, leads the reader to the combination he is looking for.
