Power Chess With Pieces: The Ultimate Guide to the Bishop Pair & Strong Knights

In contrast to the opening or the endgame, the middlegame seems to offer little in the way of concrete starting-points for methodical study. Former world championship candidate Jan Timman deals, on the basis of countless examples encountered in his rich chess career, with themes like ?strong knight against bishop? and 'the dominant bishop pair?. How is one to proceed when one emerges from the opening with a strong knight and one?s opponent is stuck with a bad bishop? And is the bishop pair really as strong as they say? With his lucid style and practical approach, Jan Timman follows in the footsteps of his teachers Max Euwe and Mikhail Botvinnik.

Chess Endings Made Simple : How to Approach the Endgame with Confidence

Most chess-players are all too painfully aware of how many half-points and even full points they squander due to poor endgame play. However, they tend to imagine that improving their endgame play involves a massive amount of study of dry technical positions, and prefer to spend their time on other aspects of the game, perhaps in the unrealistic hope of avoiding endgames entirely. In this book, Ian Snape helps them to tackle endgames with more confidence, so that they look forward to playing them, and are more willing to simplify when this is the best course of action. The first half of the book discusses the areas of endgame theory that are most relevant to practical success. The second half features 100 exercises for the reader to solve, together with full solutions. All the exercises are taken from real games.
