Chess Tests

En bok med utvalgte oppgaver fra alle spillets faser, pluss noen sluttspillstudier.

Også denne Dvoretskys aller siste bok er stort sett krevende og spennende. Han rakk ikke å skrive forordet før han døde, og den oppgaven har hans tidligere elev Artur Yusupov tatt seg av.

Mest for spillere med ratingstyrke fra cirka 1800 og opp.

Forlagets egen omtale

Mark Dvoretsky (1947-2016) is considered one of the greatest chess instructors in the modern era. He left behind a great legacy of many books and publications. At the time of his passing, there were two unpublished manuscripts he had finished (and one other co-authored with study composer Oleg Pervakov).

From the Foreword by Artur Yusupov: Chess Tests offers chessplayers material of very high quality for working on various themes, from training combinative vision to techniques of realizing advantages. I recommend using those materials for in-depth work in the directions mentioned in the book. If you follow this advice, then this volume will become a valuable addition to your chess studies and will help you reinforce skills and knowledge you have already obtained.

And here is probably the most important point. Dvoretsky wanted to write a book that would not only teach some intricacies of chess, but would also be simply a pleasure to read for aficionados of the game, so he tried to amass the ‘tastiest’ of examples here. I hope that this last book by him is going to achieve this, presenting its readers with many chess discoveries and joy of communication with the great coach and author.
