The King is a Powerful Piece: More than 100 Illustrative Games

The King is a Powerful Piece: More than 100 Illustrative Games

Cowering in the middlegame, towering in the endgame: chess theory teaches that the king needs protection from enemy pieces until the ending, when finally it can come out from hiding to decisive effect. But what if the king can take care of itself, and even march out to battle with its army? FIDE Master and coach Tigran Gyozalyan fills a gap in the chess literature with the first systematic exploration of the kings role and capabilities in the opening and the middlegame.Relying on a selection of more than one hundred international games, the author shows how strong players – from Steinitz and Alekhine to Karpov and Kasparov – transcend general chess advice to put the king to good use and tip the scales in their favor. Illustrative games and positions to deepen your understanding complement this comprehensive treatment.Broaden your chess horizons, get the edge on your opponents and show them, when they least expect it, that The King Is a Powerful Piece.

Winning Pawn Play in the Indian Defense

Winning Pawn Play in the Indian Defense

 The Kings Indian and Benoni defenses may look similar, but they lead to vastly different strategies for each player. Why does White usually attack on the queenside in the Kings Indian but on the kingside in the Benoni, while Black does the opposite? Do you know when and where to launch your pawns forward, and when to rely on piece play? Can you stop your opponent from blocking up the position? Are you mystified by the subtle differences that totally change the game?In Winning Pawn Play in the Indian Defe

The King's Gambit by John Shaw (twarda okładka)

 Wersja językowa książki - angielska. Twarda okładka.​​​​​​​There was a golden era when The King's Gambit was the favourite opening of every attacking player. In the glory days of Paul Morphy it was considered almost cowardly to play anything else. Legends such as Spassky and Bronstein kept the flame burning in the 20th century, but its popularity faded as players became distrustful of White's ultra-aggressive approach. Nevertheless there are honourable exceptions whose games prove that this ancient weapo
