Pattern recognition is one of the most important mechanisms of chess improvement. It helps you to quickly grasp the essence of a position on the board and find the most promising continuation. In short, well-defined and practical chapters, experienced chess trainer Van de Oudeweetering presents hundreds of examples of middlegame themes. To test your understanding he provides an abundance of exercises. After working with this book, an increasing number of positions, pawn structures and piece placements will automatically activate your chess knowledge. As a result, you will find the right move more often and more quickly!
Liquidation on the Chess Board New & Extended
Pawn endings do not arise out of nowhere. Before emerging as endgames with just kings and pawns, they ‘pre-existed’ in positions that still contained any number of pieces. Liquidation is the purposeful transition into a pawn ending. It is a vital technique that is seldom taught. Strange, because knowing when and how to liquidate can help you win games or save draws. In this book, former US Chess Champion Joel Benjamin teaches you all you need to know about successfully liquidating into pawn endgames. He focuses on the practical aspects: what to aim for and how to get there. When to start trading pieces and how to recognize favourable and unfavourable liquidations. Enter a fascinating world of tempo play (triangulation, zugzwang and opposition), breakthroughs, king activity, passed pawn dynamics, sacrifices and counter-sacrifices. Exercises will test your growing skills. This is a ground-breaking, entertaining and instructive guide. The 2015 first edition of this book won the CJA Chess Journalists of America Best Book Award. This New and Extended 3rd edition presents 50 new examples, besides other additions and corrections..
Move First, Think Later
The chess playing mind does not work like a machine. Selecting a move results from rather chaotic thought processes and is not the logical outcome of applying a rational method. The only problem with that, says International Master Willy Hendriks, is that most books and courses on improving at chess claim exactly the opposite. The dogma of the chess instruction establishment is that if you only take a good look at certain ‘characteristics’ of a position, then good moves will follow more or less automatically. But this is not how it happens. Chess players, weak and strong, don’t first judge the position, then formulate a plan and afterwards look at moves. It all happens at the same time...
Kurt Richter
German master Kurt Richter (1900-1969) made significant contributions to the chess world as a player, and as an editor and author. Unassuming in real life, Richter was a fearsome opponent who expressed himself mainly through his over-the-board results, as well as through his chess journalism and literary output. He was responsible for several innovative openings, some of which gained renewed status in later years. This overview of his life and games sheds light on a player who should be better known, with much never-before-seen material. Examples of his entertaining writings on chess are included, some featuring his fictitious student opponent, Dr. Zabel. A wide selection of games illustrates the surprising combinations and brilliant style of play that earned him the title "The Executioner of Berlin."
Kosten- und Leistungscontrolling auf der Basis von NKF
Das Buch wendet sich an Praktiker kommunaler und anderer offentlicher Verwaltungen, welche eine Doppelte Kaufmannische Buchfuhrung analog zum "Neuen Kommunalen Finanzmanagement NRW" (NKF) eingefuhrt haben. Es wird gezeigt, warum diese neue Buchfuhrung eine notwendige, aber nicht hinreichende Bedingung fur eine Steigerung der Wirtschaftlichkeit darstellt. In Form einer Arbeitsanleitung zeigt das Buch anhand einer Fallstudie, wie auf der Basis des NKF Effizienzsteigerungen definiert und konkret umgesetzt werden konnen.
Das große Schach-Allerlei
Schach ist eines der am stärksten verbreiteten und populärsten Brettspiele. Allein der Deutsche Schachbund organisiert über 90.000 Menschen. Noch dazu ist es ein sehr altes Spiel. Seit dem Mittelalter hat es folgerichtig immer wieder legendäre Spieler und unvergessliche Partien hervorgebracht, für erhabene Momente und geniale Kombinationen, peinliche Schlappen und haarsträubende Fehler gesorgt und obendrein Musik, Literatur und Kunst inspiriert. Nicht zu vergessen natürlich die Anekdoten und Bonmots, die die Großen des Schachs von Adolf Anderssen bis Garri Kasparow und Magnus Carlsen produziert haben, aber auch die vielen Amateure und die Promis am Brett wie Bill Gates und Boris Becker. Grund und Material genug also für ein so noch nicht dagewesenes "Schach-Allerlei", das all dies in Wort und Diagramm ebenso unterhaltsam würdigt wie absurde Irrtümer und gelungene Fälschungen ganzer Begegnungen. Mit seinen vielen Geschichten und kleinen Episoden ein echtes Juwel für die vielen Schachfreunde!
