Small Steps 2 Success by Sam Shankland (miękka okładka)

Wersja językowa książki - angielska.
Pawn play is a fundamental aspect of chess strategy, yet often neglected in chess literature. In this, his second book on pawn play, Super-GM Sam Shankland sheds light on the vital topic of Passed Pawns.

Passed pawns – whether connected, lone or protected – are common occurrences in middlegames and endgames, and your effectiveness in playing with or against them will make the difference between victory and defeat. Just like in his previous book, Shankland breaks down each topic into a series of crystal-clear guidelines to aid the reader.

Sam Shankland is a world-class Grandmaster and a mainstay of the US national team. He won the 2018 US Championship and is a double Olympiad gold medallist with a 2700+ rating.

Praise for the authors previous work:

A beautifully produced hardback... Shankland wins me over by illustrating these guidelines beautifully... an excellent, original book. 5/5 Stars
GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess

"The book accomplishes its goals very well and the discussions are enlightening... a self improvement manual well worth studying! 5/5 Stars"
Carsten Hansen, American Chess Magazine

An intimate, unvarnished interrogation of a strong Grandmasters mind at work, and a clear articulation of the pragmatism at the heart of contemporary chess praxis. It is a fascinating first effort from the new US Champion, and I sincerely hope that the promised second volume soon sees the light of day.
John Hartmann, Chess Life

Reviews

"Sam Shankland not only brings instructive examples but manages to draw the right conclusions from them leading to good guidelines. This is the way strategy books should be written!"

GM Karsten Müller

"Sam Shanklands 'Small Steps 2 Success' is another book that should appeal to a wide audience. The 2018 U.S. Champions first book, 'Small Steps to Giant Improvement', received critical acclaim and his new work, packed with loads of instructional material, helpful tips and exercises, should as well."

IM John Donaldson

Small Steps to Giant Improvement by Sam Shankland (miękka okładka)

Książka wydana w języku angielskim. Miękka okładka.   In chess you cannot take your move back, but you can always return a misplaced piece to its former square at the cost of some time. Pawns on the other hand can never move backwards, making pawn moves truly permanent decisions. This irreversibility makes Pawn Play among the most difficult aspects of chess strategy, which is one reason few books have been written about this topic – and some that have are almost incomprehensible.

Wersja językowa książki: angielska.  Miękka okładka. If like most chess players you have a limited amount of time that you can spend studying, but you still want to push for an advantage with White, then the Trompowsky is a great choice. The Trompowsky, 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5, has not been as deeply investigated as many of the main lines, and it is an attacking opening that is tricky for Black to face. As well as providing an attacking repertoire for White with the ambitious Trompowsky Attack, the author also c
