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, and pretending that it is otherwise is counterproductive. There is no use in forcing your students to mentally jump through theoretical hoops, according to experienced chess coach Hendriks. This work shows a healthy distrust of accepted methods to get better at chess. It teaches that winning games does not depend on ticking off a to-do list when looking at a position on the board. It presents club and internet chess players with loads of much-needed no-nonsense training material. In this provocative, entertaining and highly instructive book, Hendriks shows how you can travel light on the road to chess improvement!

El Sistema de Londres es un sistema de apertura que ha ganado notable popularidad tanto entre los grandes maestros como entre los jugadores amateurs en los últimos años. Existen varias razones principales para esta situación. Probablemente la más importante de ellas sea que, con el respaldo de programas informáticos, la teoría de aperturas hoy en día es increíblemente profunda, y los jugadores buscan formas de escapar de extensas preparaciones de aperturas y de la memorización de variaciones específicas. De esta manera, podrán concentrar su tiempo y energía de manera más eficiente en las etapas de mediojuego y final. El Sistema de Londres es perfecto para este propósito. Eliminar el tedioso trabajo de apertura no es la única ventaja del Sistema de Londres. A menudo ejerce presión psicológica sobre el jugador que juega con las piezas negras debido a su incapacidad para implementar su propia preparación de apertura. Esto se debe a que, en respuesta a casi todas las preferencias posibles de las piezas negras, las blancas pueden optar por el Sistema de Londres. Otras ventajas del Sistema de Londres son su solidez, su relativo desconocimiento y su apariencia sólida, a pesar de sus ricos temas tácticos, trampas y posibilidades de ataque al rey.

Lær at farve garn med planter og andre naturmaterialer Velkommen til en farverig, inspirerende og praktisk håndbog om at farve garn med planter og farvematerialer fra naturen – og strik derefter skøn beklædning og tilbehør med resultatet af dine farveeksperimenter. Forfatterne har gravet dybt i gamle bøger om plantefarvning, testet og derefter både videreudviklet traditionelle farveopskrifter og eksperimenteret med nye. Målet har været at få så permanente og holdbare farver med så få kemikalier som muligt og samtidig gøre op med fordommene om, at plantefarvning kun giver grumsede gule nuancer. I denne bog samles alle regnbuens farver! Plantefarvning er en oplevelse med mange dimensioner: farve, kemi, håndværk og at komme ud i naturen og lære dens flora at kende – og ikke mindst strikke med sit farvede garn. Bogen indeholder 30 grundopskrifter på farver fra planter, lav, svampe og lus og masser af tips og ideer til, hvordan du kan udvikle dem videre. Sidst i bogen finder du otte strikkeopskrifter på beklædning, du kan strikke med dit plantefarvede garn.

Kristin Wiola Ødegårds stil er unik, og som ingen anden kombinerer hun farver med overraskende og charmerende detaljer. Hun opfordrer til, at du bruger rester fra dit garnlager i kombination med nyt garn og til at være kreativ og sætte dit eget præg på det færdige resultat.
