Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chess has come a long way since Bobby Fischer became World Champion over fifty years ago. But can we still learn from his games all these years later? The answer is yes. This book gives you the chance to emulate Bobby Fischer's playing style and learn to put non-stop pressure on your opponents, just as he did half a century ago. By studying his most masterful endgames, you will begin to think like one of the greatest chess masters of all time. Alex Colovic's aim is to teach you how to play the endgame with the same precision as Bobby Fischer. He achieves this by providing exercises and questions to help you gradually learn to think like Fischer, adopting his aggressive and straightforward playing style. Studying these endgames will also sharpen your overall play. In five chapters, you will be able to savour Fischer's technique by examining three of his most notable games. You will also learn about endgames involving a bishop or a knight dominating the opposing piece. You will gain an insight into how Fischer always fought for the initiative. He was also a master of endgames involving rooks and opposite-coloured bishops, often creating mating threats. This book is designed so that players of all levels can benefit from studying Fischer's endgames, with clear explanations ranging from simple concepts to advanced combinations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Although Jose Raul Capablanca was the World Chess Champion a century ago, his games remain among the most interesting to study. The clear logic and simplicity of his moves inspired other great players such as Mikhail Botvinnik and Bobby Fischer. And the clarity of his play will boost the confidence of any chess student. It all seems so easy when you read the explanations, says a student in a comment on Chessable, so much so that you really believe you can play like Capablanca.Capablanca's most instructive endgames will help you to understand:The principle of two weaknesses - the art of creating a second weakness, leaving opponents helpless because they cannot deal with both at the same timeHow to convert an advantage in the endgame, not by brute calculation, but by knowing where best to position your piecesSharpen your intuition in double rook endgames and avoid wasting energy calculating everything and making mistakesThe key concept of prophylaxis when it comes to trading pieces, a remarkable aspect of all Capablanca's games. You will learn when to trade off unnecessary piecesCapablanca's Endgame Technique will help you play with precision at all levels of the game, not just in the endgame. It was Capablanca himself who said, 'To improve your game, you must study the endgame before anything else.'
