Winning Chess Combinations by Yasser Seirawan Pdf

Combinations are the central element in chess; they make the game so magical and captivating. The beautiful point of sacrificing a queen, the strongest piece, in order to checkmate with a lowly pawn brings a smile of joy to all chess lovers. Virtually all chess games possess a combination, either one hidden in the shadows of analysis carefully avoided or one that provides a decisive blow. Winning Chess Combinations is a unique work that doesn't merely repeat the wonderfully rich and vast numbers of combinations, asking readers to solve a particular diagrammed position; it is a work that is far more realistic. A combination involves a sacrifice upsetting the balance of forces, but will it work or tragically boomerang? The reader is invited to solve this critical question by identifying the advantages that a specific position holds which might make the combination successful.

Combinations by Irving Chernev Pdf

Irving Chernev's outstanding chess books earn him a high rank among the world's top chess authors. In this well-annotated text, Mr. Chernev guides his readers to an understanding of the subtleties of combinative play. Step-by-step from the simplest combinations to the most complex, the book explains the intricacies of pins and counter-pins, Knight forks, smothered mates, and other elements of combination play. There is a discussion in chapter five of combinations lurking in roads not taken — alternate lines of play show up in Chernev's notes to the game, while the sixth chapter, "Convincing the Kibitzers," shows the second-guessers what would have happened had the masters done the obvious. (Some disastrous combinations show up here.) A host of boomerangs follow — cases where the player didn't look far enough ahead and his combination, instead of bringing about the opponent's ruin, paved the way to his defeat. Chapters eight through twenty one take up combinations used by such great players as Tarrasch, Botvinnik, Nimzovich, Steinitz, Rubinstein, and Pillsbury; the sacrificial combinations of Anderssen and Spielmann; the dazzling brilliancies of Morphy, Keres, and Alekhine; the deadly attacks of Marshall; the almost unfathomable ideas of Lasker; and the matchless creations of Capablanca. Mr. Chernev's thoughtful annotations unravel the secrets of each of these plans. A diagram accompanies each combination; an index, by player, leads the reader to the combination he is looking for.

Modern Chess Combinations - January, February, March 2016 by Roman Jiganchine Pdf

This publication is a collection of over 200 best combinations played by strong chess players in tournaments that took place in the first quarter of 2016. This book is part of in the "Modern Chess Combinations" series, which provides instructive tactical positions from the most recent top chess tournaments. Modern Chess Combinations will allow you to * Follow the recent games of top grandmasters * Improve your game * Study combinations any time and anywhere * Enjoy a collection of annotated puzzles that you have not seen in any other tactics books * Maintain regular practice by solving several puzzles every day For the purpose of this collection, the author used Mikhail Botvinnik's definition of a combination, which defines it as "a forced maneuver or maneuvers combined with a sacrifice, as a result of which the active side gains an objective advantage." All the puzzles have been carefully checked to ensure the correctness and uniqueness of solutions, so the reader can be certain that there is only one winning continuation in each position. The highlight of this edition is the game that was the culmination of the 2016 Candidates Tournament in Moscow and ended the tense event that drew the attention of the entire chess world for almost a month. In a must win situation, Caruana overpushed against Karjakin, and Sergey delivered a rook sacrifice that won the game and made him a challenger to Magnus Carlsen in a match to be held later in the year. This dramatic game showed once again that good tactical vision is essential for reaching the top in chess. Since his very young days Karjakin was known for great ability to spot chess combinations, and at a critical moment his second nature did not let him down despite the enormous pressure that both players were under.
