Fra åbning til slutspil er 2. bind i Skak for sjov-serien, som har i alt tre bind. Bogen kan læses af børn, unge, forældre, skoleskakledere og andre, som beskæftiger sig med skak for begyndere og let øvede. Børnene skal have de grundlæggende færdigheder i at spille skak. Det vil sige, at de kender skakreglerne, herunder rokaden, og de ved, hvad skakmat er.Henrik Andersen har skrevet Skak for sjov-bøgerne på baggrund af 20 års erfaring som skakinstruktør for børn og unge. "Skak for sjov-serien er kærkommen forfriskende og pædagogisk velfungerende." (Lektørudtalelse fra Dansk BiblioteksCenter). "Skak for sjov er udmærkede bind, som starter med det basale og rykker gradvist videre." (Sune Berg Hansen, stormester i skak, i Politiken).

La variante Dragón de la Defensa Siciliana es una apertura extremadamente instructiva y emocionante debido a las ricas posibilidades tácticas e ideas posicionales que incorpora. Los juegos a menudo están en un filo de navaja para ambos oponentes, y una ligera desviación de la teoría o un error aparentemente insignificante puede resultar en una pérdida inmediata de la partida.Hay ciertas razones por las cuales el autor prefiere escribir un libro sobre partidas miniatura en lugar de escribir un libro estándar de teoría de aperturas;La variante Dragón atrae más a jugadores con experiencia de ajedrez relativamente limitada debido a su naturaleza instructiva. Es preferible mantener a estos jugadores alejados de un enfoque mecánico y de la parte del juego que está fuera del alcance de la apertura debido al número de jugadas que se extienden. El sentido estético que un juego que termina en pocas jugadas creará en la mente del lector y la motivación ajedrecística que proporcionará estarán en su punto más alto.Dejando de lado el hecho de que se han escrito un gran número de libros sobre partidas miniatura y la cuestión de cuál es exactamente la definición de partida miniatura, el libro que tienes en tus manos trata sobre partidas con un número máximo de movimientos dieciocho (excepto la introducción, que examina la historia del dragón), y eso es a lo que se refiere con "miniatura" en este libro.

The combination of card-playing skills, intuition and psychology that Bridge requires makes it one of the most fascinating and difficult of all card games. A specific element of Bridge that makes it unique amongst games, both physical and mental, is that it is exclusively a doubles game. This places enormous value on partnership understanding, tolerance and cooperation. In this user-friendly introduction to the game, prolific Bridge author Paul Lamford provides newcomers to the game with a thorough ground in the essentials of play.

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.

While there are many books written on miniature chess games, there is no consensus or official rule on exactly how many moves constitute a miniature. Some commentators consider a maximum of 20 moves, some 25, and others 30. In your book, this number is accepted as 30. Of course, the crucial point regarding miniatures is not the number of moves. The fact that any chess game can conclude in a few moves is only possible with the emergence of some exceptional circumstances, making miniatures intriguing. These exceptional circumstances could include a groundbreaking opening innovation, a blunder made by one of the opponents in the opening stage, or the early emergence of a brilliant combination following an unexpected sacrifice. If such a game is played, especially by master players, it is extremely exciting for chess enthusiasts at every level. In the first volume of the planned three-volume series, miniature games arising from open openings are discussed. As we all know, open openings begin with the moves 1.e4 e5 and, although they are still frequently preferred today, they are more characteristic of the romantic era of chess. This romantic era of chess coincides with the period of romanticism in literature, music, and art worldwide. The distinctive features of this era include sharp and sacrificial attacks directed towards the opponent's king from the opening stage, brilliant and creative combinations, and tactical sequences, best exemplified by the King's Gambit. This approach prevailed in the chess world until the mid-19th century when Wilhelm Steinitz formulated the foundational principles of positional chess, leading to its widespread adoption. Wishing it to be beneficial to all chess enthusiasts.

What is the most important skill in Go?It is the ability to calculate variations. In the middle game, about eighty percent is reading power, the rest is intuition. To improve your reading, it is essential to practice life-and-death problems.This book gives you 180 life-and-death problems with only one hint, whether the solution involves a ko or not. The solutions are limited to one diagram, so you may have to figure out on your own why your attempt to solve the problem has failed.

Research on the cognitive basis of chess skill has focused primarily on chess knowledgestructures and their relevance in accounting for superior recall of briefly presented chesspositions by chess experts. The direct relevance of research on short-term recall of chess positionto superior move selection, is based on two theoretical assumptions that have not been fullytested. The first assumption is that the chess knowledge structures are automatically activatedduring the perception of a position in a similar manner for both tasks requiring short-term recalland selection of the best move. Because experts are thought to have greater knowledge and thisgreater knowledge is thought to be activated automatically it has been argued that experts areless harmed by reduction in available time for selecting a move than weaker players. The secondassumption is that the knowledge structures that mediate the selection of a chess move can beadequately captured by a memory task for briefly presented positions. This dissertationattempted to test these two assumptions. Study 1 found no general interaction between timegiven to solve a chess problem and chess skill on the strength of move selection, instead findinga relatively stable expert advantage across times. Additionally, it established this even for the 5 scondition typically used to study memory. Study 2 presented chess positions to players for 5 seither to select the best move or to recall the position. In the condition involving the selection ofa move, players were asked to recall the position after announcing their selected move. The studyfound substantial differences in the structure of recall between the two conditions. Additionally,certain expected features such as a bimodal distribution of response times were not found callinginto question some assumptions of chunking theory.
