Chess Theory $111.53 The game of chess is commonly divided into three phases: the opening, middlegame, and endgame. As to each of these phases, especially the opening and endgame, there is a large body of theory as how the game should be played. Those who write about chess theory, who are often but not necessarily also eminent players, are referred to as theorists or theoreticians. Opening theory commonly refers to consensus, broadly represented by current literature on the openings. Endgame theory consists of statements regarding specific positions, or positions of a similar type, though there are few universally applicable principles. Middlegame theory often refers to rules or principles applicable to the middlegame. However, the modern trend is to assign paramount importance to analysis of the specific position at hand rather than to general principles. The development of theory in all of these areas has been assisted by the vast literature on the game. In 1913, preeminent chess historian H.J.R. Murray wrote in his 900page magnum opus A History of Chess that, The game possesses a literature which in contents probably exceeds that of all other games combined.

Check (Chess) $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In games such as chess, shogi, and xiangqi, a check is an immediate threat to capture the king (or general in xiangqi). A king so threatened is said to be in check. In the following move, the player whose king is in check must get their king out of check, if it is possible. Either the threat must be stopped (by interposing a piece between the threatening piece and the king, or capturing the threatening piece) or the king must be moved to a space where it is no longer in check. If the player cannot get out of check, the game ends in checkmate and the player loses. Announcing check is optional. A check is the result of a move that places the opposing king under an immediate threat by one (or sometimes two) of his pieces. (In some chess variants, check by more than two pieces is possible.) If the king is in check and there is no legal move which gets the king out of check, the king is said to be checkmated and the game is over. The player whose king is checkmated loses and the opposing player wins the game.

Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (ECO) is a classification system for the opening moves in a game of chess. It is presented as a five volume book collection (now also a computer database) describing chess openings. The moves were taken from hundreds of thousands of games between masters, from published analysis in the Chess Informant since 1966, and then compiled by notable chess players. The main editor is Aleksandar Matanovi . Both the ECO and the Chess Informant are published by the Serbian company ahovski Informator (Chess Informant). These openings are typically provided in an ECO table that concisely presents the best opening lines. The books contain only a small amount of text, which is in eight languages.

FirstMove Advantage in Chess $95.59 The firstmove advantage in chess is the inherent advantage of the player (called White) who makes the first move in chess. Chess players and theorists generally agree that White begins the game with some advantage. Statistics compiled since 1851 support this view, showing that White consistently wins slightly more often than Black, usually scoring between 52 and 56 percent. Whites winning percentage is about the same for tournament games between humans and games between computers. However, Whites advantage is less significant in rapid games and in games between weaker players. Chess players and theoreticians have long debated whether, given perfect play by both sides, the game should end in a win for White, or a draw. Since at least 1889, when World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz addressed the issue, the overwhelming consensus has been that a perfectly played game would end in a draw. However, a few notable players have argued that Whites advantage may be sufficient to force a win: Weaver Adams and Vsevolod Rauzer claimed that White is winning after the first move 1.e4, while Hans Berliner argued that 1.d4 may win for White. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 128 Publication Date: 2010/04/27 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.30 inches |

Chess Opening Theory Table $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A chess opening theory table or ECO (Encyclopedia Of Chess Openings) table presents lines of moves, typically (but not always) from the starting position. Notated chess moves are presented in the table from left to right. Variations on a given line are given horizontally below the parent line. Chess opening theory tables are commonly published in opening books with annotations by experienced chess players. These tables are typically arranged in a compact manner to allow experienced players to see variations from a position quickly. Usually, the table indicates that either White or Black has equal, slightly better, or better chances at the end of the variation. Often, this information is distilled down to mere symbols or the percentage of games (usually tournament games) where White won no information is usually given on what the assessment is based on or how to proceed in the game.

Adjournment (Games) $122.67 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Some boardgames, such as chess or Go, use an adjournment mechanism to suspend the game in progress so it can be continued at another time, typically the following day. The rationale is that games often extend in duration beyond what is reasonable for a single session of play. As in chess, there is sometimes a sealed move, where the next move that would be made is sealed in an envelope, to be played out (usually by an independent third party, normally the director or arbiter).

World Chess Championship 2010 $111.53 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The World Chess Championship 2010 match pitted the defending world champion, Viswanathan Anand, against challenger Veselin Topalov, for the title of World Chess Champion. The match took place in Sofia, Bulgaria from April 24 to May 13, 2010, with a prize fund of 2 million euros (60 to the winner). In a dramatic finish, Anand won the match 65 to retain the title. The match was to be twelve games, with tiebreaks if necessary, the same format and length as the 2006 and 2008 matches. The start of the match ended up being delayed by one day, due to air travel disruptions caused by the volcanic ash emissions from Eyjafjallajkull. Anand was booked on a flight from Frankfurt to Sofia on April 16, and was stranded due to disruption of all air travel. He asked for a three day postponement, which was refused by the organizers on April 19. Anand finally reached Sofia on April 20, after a 40hour road journey.

Learn Chess Fast by Sammy Reshevsky $33.74 Learn Chess Fast is a basic chess beginners book written in a rare collaboration between the strongest chess player in America and possibly the world at that time and the best and prolific writer about the game of chess.This book teaches the legal moves of chess plus it explains the descriptive notation by which chess games were recorded.After that, it explains the basic principles of the game and shows some tricks and traps. It concludes with some examples of grandmaster play.Sammy Reshevsky was born on November 26, 1911. Most chess players reach their peak at age 30. It was Reshevskys misfortune that he reached his peak during the World War II years. He played in the World Championship tournament in 1948 and in the Candidates Tournament in Zurich 1953. In both events there were rumors and reports of collusion by the Soviets to prevent Reshevsky from winning the world championship which he probably would have won in a fair contest.Fischer is quoted as saying that Reshevsky was the strongest player in the world and would have easily defeated World Champion Botvinnik in a match at that time. However, Reshevsky never got the chance. There is no doubt at all that Reshevsky was the strongest USA player. He won the US championship seven times, in 1936, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1946 and 1969.

Emanuel Lasker: Second World Chess Champion $9.19 The ChessCafe World Chess Champions Series Emanuel Lasker was a great chess fighter thinker and researcher. He was possessed of gigantic playing strength retaining the title of World s Number One Chessplayer for 27(!) years. Even after losing his crown he kept his ability for a long time as shown by his victories and prize-winning finishes in immensely powerful international tournaments when he was 54 (Moravska-Ostrava 1923) 55 (New York 1924) 56 (Moscow 1925) and even at 66 (Moscow 1935)! One of the chief postulates of the Second World Champion was the battle of honor. On the chessboard lies and dishonesty have no place. These words of Lasker could serve even today as an example to every young chessplayer of how to relate to the Great Game. Emanuel Lasker was the first in history to achieve a universal style. This was a Style of the Future which is why the Second World Champion would not be understood by many of his contemporaries who believed that he had no style at all. Lasker s games of chess like his entire chess legacy will live forever! Join Russian chess historians Isaak and Vladimir Linder as they take you on a journey exploring the life and games of the great world champion Emanuel Lasker. |

But whereas a film seen in the theater just keeps going here you can âstopâÂ? the action and take time thinking about what you’re seeing and what’s being explained to you as if you were home watching on your own DVD. In this first offering of the series Quick Tricks the reader (viewer) is provided with a collection 64 neat traps and shots in the opening illustrations often stemming from the practice of the world’s best players. There’s a variety too so that you can sample different openings and variations. All you have to do is read the beginning paragraph sit back in your living room on your favorite flight commuter bus or train ride and pleasure your way through each informative film.

World Chess Championship: Kramnik vs. Leko 2004 $29.85 With FIDE (the World Chess Federation) claiming that its Tournament in Libya in fact, little more than a rapidplay open was the world title clincher, this match for the Classical World Chess Championship would confirm one of the two mental matadors Kramnik or Leko as the legitimate heir of Steinitz, Alekhine, Fischer and Kasparov. Peter Leko, the Hungarian Grandmaster, qualified from the Dortmund Candidates Tournament in 2002 to meet Vladimir Kramnik from Moscow, who had unseated Garry Kasparov in London 2000. Although both contenders were noted for their solidity, the clash turned out to be a sporting classic, as Kramnik poured every ounce of energy into the last games in an effort to rescue his title.
