Entrena tu mente: 365 juegos y pasatiempos de ajedrez

Think Like Ivanchuk is a celebration of a true chess genius. This book is a collection of Vasyl Ivanchuk's best games, a chess biography and a highly entertaining training manual all in one. Vasyl Ivanchuk, a super-grandmaster from Ukraine, was born in 1969 and was the best player in the world in the 1990s behind World Champion Garry Kasparov. He has won the Olympiad, the super-tournaments in Linares and Wijk aan Zee, and many, many other events. He is an incredibly versatile player and has employed almost every possible opening variation known to chess. Grandmaster Viktor Moskalenko has known his compatriot since childhood, has been his second and sparring partner, and understands his style like no other. Moskalenko has selected Ivanchuk's most fascinating games against world champions and top grandmasters and has derived more than 500 training positions from them. The exercises are fun, engaging, and presented in a way that any chess player can understand. This collection of Ivanchuk's best artistic ideas will make you think like Ivanchuk and reach new heights in chess. Welcome to Planet Ivanchuk!

Practical Chess Exercises: Tactics, Strategy, Endgames

Think Like Ivanchuk

The candidate move is perhaps the most elusive concept in chess theory. First introduced by Alexander Kotov in his famous book Think Like a Grandmaster, it seems clear and methodical enough: when considering a move, you make a list of "candidates" in your mind, compare their merits, and make your choice. But how do you determine what a candidate move is, and how do you proceed from there? In this book, based on a Chessable course, chess grandmaster Sipke Ernst and chess psychologist Karel van Delft address these questions. First, Ernst offers a practical approach with many original game fragments, divided into four parts with 28 chapters. By studying these fragments the reader becomes familiar with methods such as comparing and eliminating candidate moves, as well as positional methods like prophylaxis and even psychological weapons. In the fifth part, Van Delft presents thirty thinking tools for finding the best candidate moves. This comprehensive collection of tools is the result of intensive research as well as practical experience during years of youth training. They will help the reader increase their understanding and memory, and develop effective routines and skills. Reading this book will be a great boost to your decision-making in chess!

Candidate Moves and Thinking Tools in Chess

Find Your Next Move

Jan Timman completes an impressive and fascinating trilogy with his collected studies. In Timman's Titans, winner of the 2017 ECF Book of the Year Award, he writes about the world champions he admires. In Timman's Triumphs, he annotates his hundred best games. In Timman's Studies, he offers his collected compositions of endgame studies. Throughout his career, Jan Timman has been captivated by the mystery and splendor of endgame studies. Even during his most successful and busy years as a world-class player, he continued to compose and admire endgame studies. He has always believed that his exploration of this magical world helped him grow as a player. In this book, he presents 160 studies and explains how they were created, whether inspired by the works of other composers or game positions.

My Collected Endgame Studies and Their Origins

Timman's Studies

'A powerful memoir' Garry Kasparov 'Heart-breaking, hilarious, ultimately transcendent' Jeannette Wall 'Compelling and unique' Ben Mezrich 'I haven't been this inspired by an underdog story in a long time' Bobby Hall (aka Logic) ___________ Educated meets The Queen's Gambit in this extraordinary memoir by International Master and Chess.com co-founder Danny Rensch, who describes his upbringing in an abusive cult - and how chess ended up saving his life. Born into the Church of Immortal Consciousness, Danny Rensch spent his childhood navigating the isolated confines of a cult. Despite psychological manipulation, physical abuse and neglect, he persevered. An international chess master and world-class commentator, Rensch's remarkable journey led him to being the face of Chess.com, one of the largest online gaming platforms in the world. With unflinching honesty, Rensch recounts his life, starting from the moment he discovered chess in the summer of 1995, all the way up to being at the centre of the investigation into the most explosive cheating scandal in chess history. He chronicles the traumas of being 'special' in a cult that forced separation from his mother. Mentored by an alcoholic Russian chess master, he found solace alongside suffering in his obsession with chess - an ancient game which became his only escape. Deeply heartfelt, keenly reflective and haunting, Dark Squares is the never-before-told story of Danny Rensch's resilience, survival, and his enduring love for the game that saved him.

Forgotten Genius

Dragoljub Velimirovic was a former Yugoslav - Serbian, chess grandmaster whose international career was handicapped by political intrigues and his outspoken temperament. During the heyday of the USSR as the greatest national chess power, the former Yugoslavia was capable of running the Soviet Union a good second. Dragoljub Velimirovic posed a real threat to the men from Moscow. Velimirovic was born in 1942 to a prominent family from Valjevo, in the former Yugoslavia. He was introduced to chess at the age of seven by his mother, Jovanka Velimirovic, one of Yugoslavia's leading female chess players. He died at the age 72, being one of the last players to develop a system or strategy that is so inventive it bears its creator's name. It is a feat that is unlikely to be repeated in the modern era, when computer-based games and databases so thoroughly dominate competition that it is almost impossible to come up with something new. That does not mean that players were more talented or courageous in the decades when Velimirovic was in his prime. Velimirovic, who became a grandmaster in 1973, was never among the 20 top-ranked players in the world. And that was when there were only 200 or so grandmasters; today, there are about 2,400.

Chess and Corporate Strategy

The Sheer Enjoyment of Paul Morphy In the middle of the nineteenth century, a soft-spoken young man from New Orleans would upend the conventional chess world. Perplexing positional pressure coupled with breath-taking combinations would leave him virtually in a class by himself. In 1909, Hungarian Grandmaster Géza Maróczy - himself a world-class player in the first decade of the 20th century - penned a wonderful compendium of all-known games of the American champion. The book, in German, was an instant success. And now (finally!) it is available in English. The book contains over 400 games by Morphy, most deeply annotated by Maróczy. He uses a light hand when explaining the logical and positional concepts of the games, while not overlooking the historical background and context in which they were played. In addition, a brief section on Morphy's endgame skill has been added by GM Karsten Müller and a look from "a modern perspective" has been provided by GM Valeri Beim. Maróczy's subtle, often poetic insights regarding Morphy's greatness provide an indispensable perspective... Why read Maróczy's magnum opus today? There are of course several good reasons, from a historical standpoint the book is a must-read... From a chess perspective, a complete collection of Morphy's games makes a very deep impression... In short, there are a host of good reasons for chess lovers to celebrate Maróczy's classic Paul Morphy, not the least of which is the sheer enjoyment of watching the incomparable maestro at play. - From the Foreword by Charles Hertan, author of The Real Paul Morphy

How Life Imitates Chess

Have you ever wondered why it takes grandmasters just seconds to see what's happening in a chess position? It's all about pawn structures, as Ivan Sokolov explained in his groundbreaking book Winning Chess Middlegames. In his 2010 bestseller, Grandmaster Sokolov focused on structures arising from 1.d4 openings; in this new companion guide, 1.e4 players get their turn. This new volume covers a dozen topical structures including various pawn formations in the flexible Ruy Lopez, Italian and Petroff openings. But also Black's doubled f-pawn in the Rauzer Sicilian, the notorious Maroczy Bind, the mysterious Hedgehog, the versatile Sveshnikov and the paradoxical French Winawer. Deeply analysed top-level games illustrate the motifs in all these structures. Club players who study Winning Chess Middlegames 1.e4 or 1.d4 will: significantly improve their middlegame skills develop an accurate sense of which positions suit their style gain new strategic and practical knowledge of openings Ivan Sokolov's analysis is profound but accessible, and he doesn't take anything for granted. As reviewer Sean Marsh wrote of the first volume: "The lucid and informative explanations convey a large amount of genuine Grandmasterly wisdom. This is easily one of the best middlegame books of recent times."
