A dramatic sacrifice may seem like the easiest way to accomplish a dazzling, come-from-behind success, however, the outcome of all chess matches, depends upon the participants’ positional abilities. The first participant to determine a positional advantage benefits the very best chance of an effective direct attack. Illustrations — on such styles as key squares, poor bishops, and pawn structures — come in ascending problems, with sufficient cross-reference.
Produced from the author’s very own training manuals, these instructive good examples successfully assisted in schooling Israel’s best juniors and the champions of the Israeli women’s national group. The author targets common situations due to practical over-the-table play.
This complete guide, compiled by an Israeli grandmaster, gives valuable insights in creating a more powerful strategic video game. It spans a hundred years . 5 of worldwide chess, from the period of the legendary Paul Morphy in the 1850s compared to that of the present day powerhouse Gary Kasparov. Chess players at every level will reap the benefits of this possibility to develop an intuitive grasp of every concept and improve their positional play.
