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.

Modern Ideas in Chess

Modern Ideas in Chess is a series of 45 essays dealing with the evolution of the game, its leading players, their ideas and contributions to their respective periods.The chronology starts in the Romantic era of Anderssen and Morphy, continues through the Classical School of Steinitz, Tarrasch, Lasker, and runs to the dawn of the Hypermodern Revolution; the 70-year stretch from 1852 to 1922.Working in small chunks Réti had to be selective in what he extracted from each player and period. Plus the individual elements all had to tie in with the larger canvass Réti was painting for his readers.You don't have to get too far into the book to realize that Réti was a creative artist using the tension of chess ideas to reflect the larger intellectual struggle of mankind.How does Réti do it? A solid chess foundation obviously helps, also keen observation of the human experience coupled with a powerful command of language. Together these serve up indelible images that stick in the mind of the reader and lift this work far above the ordinary.Modern Ideas in Chess is one of the rare books that transcends the time frame in which it was written. It stands on its own, timeless, one of the true classics in the literature of the game.Popular author Bruce Alberston has converted the older descriptive notation to modern algebraic and added many diagrams to produce an outstanding modern 21st Century Edition of this timeless classic.
