In the Game Until the End Volume II by Robert Wachtel Pdf

In 1993 the international backgammon community was presented with a unique research report. Authored by the American expert, Robert Wachtel, In the Game Until the End set out to address the critical "stay or go" problems that arise at the 11th hour of a well-timed ace-point game. This project was an extraordinarily ambitious one, for a proper solution to those questions required the resolution of some very thorny issues of fundamental backgammon theory - and, like all explorers of his era, Wachtel had no analysis programs to rely upon. His methods, instead, were part science and part art. He rolled positions out by hand, gathered data from other experts, extrapolated, analogized and calculated. His results have hardly been challenged in the 20-year interim. But that, of course, does not mean that they are, by today's standards, accurate.This second volume of In the Game Until the End is both a revision of and a sequel to that early, landmark work. Employing the contemporary professional's analysis program of choice, eXtreme Gammon 2 (XG2), Wachtel vets his prior investigations with extensive, high-level rollouts. He then employs the same cutting-edge tools to extend his research to ace-point problems of increasing complexity. But this is not another of those "because the bot says so" tracts. Always probing for the principles underlying the results, the book's later chapters are studded with puzzles, oddities and anomalies that demand - and receive -- thoughtful interpretation.

How Chess Games Are Won and Lost by Lars Bo Hansen Pdf

Traditionally, chess games have been divided into three stages - opening, middlegame and endgame - and general principles presented for how to handle each stage. All chess-players will be well aware that these principles all too frequently fail to help in their selection of the best move. In this important work, Lars Bo Hansen, grandmaster and professional educator, presents chess as a game of five phases, and explains the do's and don'ts in each: * the opening * the transition to the early middlegame * the middlegame * strategic endgames * technical endgames * With a wealth of examples from both his own practice and that of his colleagues, Hansen discusses the typical mistakes and pitfalls, and shows how to handle the subtleties unique to each stage. He also advises on how to work on your chess in each aspect of the game. Of special value is his explanation of how to study typical middlegames, and that middlegame preparation - a neglected area for most players - is both possible and necessary.

100 Endgames You Must Know by Jesus de la Villa Pdf

'New (4th) and improved edition of an all-time classic The good news about endgames is: • there are relatively few endings you should know by heart • once you know these endings, that's it.

"Endgame" by Samuel Beckett. Analysis in the Context of Pragmatics by Anonim Pdf

Research Paper (undergraduate) in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2022, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this research is to explore and analyse Samuel Beckett's ludicrous drama, Endgame, in the context of Pragmatics in general and violations of Conversational Principles in particular, as well as in the context of Pragmatics. Using Grice's idea of Conversational Principles, the study seeks to evaluate the selected conversational interactions in a formalised manner. Conversational theatre is characterised by the skillful use of language as a potent tool for communication; nevertheless, in Beckett's play, characters are concerned with various elements of language and its usage. The dialogues utilised in an absurd play are nonsensical exchanges in which there is no sense of cohesion between the characters. It opens up a wide range of possibilities for the study of many elements of language. It appears silly, yet it serves as a means of communication between the characters. The characters in this story frequently utilise broken words, make nonsensical comments, repeat themselves, and hesitate for no apparent reason, which is typical of the genre. His adept use of informal language and fragmented sentences exemplifies how language should be used in a natural setting.

Are you ready for the truth about forty of the most fascinating and complex chess games ever played by World Champions and other top grandmasters? Grandmaster Matthew Sadler and renowned chess writer Steve Giddins take a fresh look at some classic games ranging from Anderssen – Dufresne, played in 1852, to Botvinnik – Bronstein (1951) and Geller – Euwe (1953) played a century later. They unleashed the collective power of Leela, Komodo and Stockfish to help us humans understand what really what really happened in these games of World Champions and fan favorites such as Bent Larsen, Michael Basman and Tony Miles. The first engines improved our understanding of the classic games by pointing out the tactical mistakes in the original, contemporary game notes. But the expertise of Matthew Sadler, in his third book on the us if engines to deepen our chess understanding, is to uncover the positional course of a game. The modern engines, who came alive after 2018, can change our whole perception of the strategic and technical pattern of a game. You will for example earn to appreciate and understand a classic Capablanca endgame. A classic Petrosian exchange sacrifice. A winning, and then losing, king-hunt endgame between Spassky and Tal. You will see how Bent Larsen already understood the strength as the h-pawn march far before that was revealed by AlphaZero. We will see new strategic ideas and plans that human players had not previously thought of. Even the greatest King’s Indian player ever, Viktor Korchnoi, would be amazed by the engine’s unique ideas on how break through on the Queen side. The most instructive games are often those which are more strategic and technical. That is why the modern chess engine is such a helpful tool to enrich our understanding. With these engines the authors have re-engineered a wonderful and highly entertaining series of games, generating dozens of positional chess lessons that will help every club player and expert to improve their game.

Winning Chess Manoeuvres by Sarhan Guliev Pdf

When a chess master finds a winning strategic idea it is seldom by accident. An amateur, staring at a position on the chess board is often fumbling in the dark, his head spinning with a multitude of general rules and vague notions. The master’s approach is concrete. He knows how and where to look, because he has studied the games of other masters. In this book, grandmaster Sarhan Guliev presents a wide range of strategic manoeuvres that have been repeatedly employed by great chess players. He shows how masters generate ideas from the games of other masters: -- positional sacrifices -- amazing counterplay concepts, -- unorthodox exchanges -- winning with g2 – g4 or h2-h4 -- overcoming a blockade -- the advantages of double pawns -- the e5 pawn wedge -- the uses of the queen-bishop battery -- and much more. Winning Chess Manoeuvres is brimming with interesting and instructive stories about the chess greats, and written in an accessible and entertaining style. After studying this book, ambitious chess players will find winning strategic manoeuvres quicker and more often. They will not find them by accident or by relying on general principles, but because they have built up a large stockpile of highly practical ideas.

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual by Mark Dvoretsky Pdf

The first edition of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the best books ever published on the endgame. The second edition is revised and enlarged - now over 400 pages - covering all the most important concepts required for endgame mastery. "I am sure that those who study this work carefully will not only play the endgame better, but overall, their play will improve. One of the secrets of the Russian chess school is now before you, dear reader!" - From the Foreword to the First Edition by Grandmaster Artur Yusupov "Going through this book will certainly improve your endgame knowledge, but just as important, it will also greatly improve your ability to calculate variations... What really impresses me is the deep level of analysis in the book... All I can say is: This is a great book. I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it has me." - From the Preface to the First Edition by International Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard Here's what they had to say about the First Edition: "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual ... may well be the chess book of the year... [It] comes close to an ultimate one-volume manual on the endgame." - Lubomir Kavalek in his chess column of December 1, 2003 in the Washington Post. "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is quite simply a masterpiece of research and insight. It is a tremendous contribution to endgame literature, certainly the most important one in many years, and destined to be a classic of the literature (if it isn't already one). The famous trainer Mark Dvoretsky has put together a vast number of examples that he has not only collected, but analysed and tested with some of the world's strongest players. This is a particularly important book from the standpoint of clarifying, correcting, and extending the theory of endings. Most of all, Dvoretsky's analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy." - John Watson, reviewing DEM at The Week In Chess 2003 Book of the Year - JeremySilman.com 2003 Book of the Year - Seagaard Chess Reviews: "This is an extraordinary good chess book. To call this the best book on endgames ever written seems to be an opinion shared by almost all reviewers and commentators. And I must say that I am not to disagree." - Erik Sobjerg
