Improve Your Chess x3

En større bok satt sammen av de tre utgående bøkene Improve Your Opening Play, Improve Your Middlegame Play og Improve Your Endgame Play.

En allround-bok for ratingnivå cirka 900 - 1400, gjerne som en mulig fortsettelse etter Sjakkskolen komplett eller LÆR SJAKK.

Åpningsdelen av boka gir en kort og enkel gjennomgang av de viktigste sjakkåpningene. Midtspilldelen inneholder en del partier som vil vise prinsipper særlig innen strategisk spill og angrepssjakk. Sluttspilldelen er kanskje den aller nyttigste for dette nivået og gir en ryddig gjennomgang av de fleste ulike sluttspillene som ikke er altfor vanskelige.

Dette er altså tre bøker og for prisen av cirka halvannen.

Forlagets egen omtale

These three titles, brought together for the first time in one volume, explain the important ideas behind every major opening, provide an understanding of the middlegame to the aspiring player and tips to all players wishing to improve their endgame play.

Chris Ward unravels the secrets of the Sicilian, the mysteries of the Modern and the fundamentals of the French. He emphasises the need to understand the key elements of each opening rather than simply memorise a series of complicated variations which leave you stranded if the opponent varies from the expected route.

Andrew Kinsman uses examples from practical play to develop tactical and positional skills and awareness to enable you to make the most of your opportunities in the middlegame.

Glenn Flear explains the fundamental principles which must be mastered in the endgame. Taking examples from his own games and those of other players, he shows how drawn positions can be converted into victories and lost positions saved at the last moment.
