How to Play Dynamic Chess (Attacking Chess) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A Gambit Classic Reissue: Seize the moment and take full advantage of your chances!

“an incredible work, simply the best I have ever read on this topic” - Don Aldrich, Chess Today

Chess is fundamentally a dynamic game. Each move changes the situation and the possibilities for both sides. The scope and value of pieces can change radically during the course of a game.

The current generation of supergrandmasters play unrelentingly dynamic chess, but a great deal of chess literature still deals with chess as if it were a predominantly static game. Much of our understanding of the game is based around traditional rules of thumb that might work well ‘on average’ or in ‘typical’ situations. But these rules may not equip us at all well in the specific and sometimes exceptional situations that we face in our games.

In this book, Valeri Beim explains how to factor in dynamic considerations, and weigh initiative and time against material and other static factors. This is a practical account by an experienced trainer and battle-hardened competitor, geared towards the needs of players looking to improve their results.

Topics include:

• Dynamics
• Development
• King moves for attacking purposes
• Breakthrough
• Initiative

Valeri Beim is a grandmaster who lives in Austria. He has won numerous tournaments and plays in the Austrian and German leagues. For many years he was the head trainer at the chess school in Odesa (Ukraine), and he was also the trainer of the Israeli Olympiad team. This is his fourth chess book.

“This is a rich and valuable contribution to chess strategy. Buy this book!” - Alex Dunne, ICCF Amici

“I suspect even some players of the first rank will find something to think about, and the rest of us will have our games adjusted forever. If you buy one chess book this year, this should be it. This book is so good, I have to stray from my usual method of categorizing books, and deem it an Instant Classic.” - Don Aldrich, Chess Today

“It is thoroughly good stuff. The reviewer was tempted to be effusive and propose the inscription of Beim's name in the chess author's hall of fame alongside Dvoretsky and co. It may just be that he is the beneficiary of Gambit's excellent support and a very skilled translator in John Sugden. So many other competent chess authors are let down by their publishers, but not Beim. Whatever the case may be, the end product is an excellent work on the subject and can be warmly recommended.” - John Saunders, British Chess Magazine

“Want to play dynamic chess? You could work your way through a pile of Alekhine's games, chow down on some self-annotated games by Kasparov, or reflect on one of the classics like Suba's Dynamic Chess Strategy. However, if you choose to work with Beim, your chess will become more dynamic. He does know where to hit with that mallet! On the basis of the strength of How to Play Dynamic Chess, I'd almost be tempted to recommend his Chess Recipes from the Grandmaster's Kitchen and Lessons in Chess Strategy, sight unseen; but that would mean I wouldn't get to enjoy turning those pages as well. I'd much rather read them through first - and then make my recommendations.“ - Rick Kennedy, ChessVille
