After winning the chess crown in a battle against the seemingly overwhelming Capablanca, he dominated the tournament scene almost at will until the mid-1930s. Today, Alekhine is considered a pioneer of a universal style of play.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \nAlekhine's games reveal an exuberant creative imagination and a rare wealth of original ideas. Brilliant attacks on the board appear seemingly out of nowhere, but they are well-founded and prepared positionally. Alekhine knew how to create flexible and strategically advantageous positions that have a noticeable attack potential. The great combination artist was keen to develop and use this potential masterfully.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Alekhine's genius is also evident in his literary work. Many experts consider this selection of 100 excellent games from his first creative period to be his best book, and it is considered exemplary in the art of commentary: strategic concepts and complicated tactical situations are explained succinctly and clearly, making them understandable for the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe collection of games was first published in 1927 in the run-up to the World Championship match, so this work also served to prepare Alekhine for the most important match of his life. The book has remained an enduring classic and is required reading for every aspiring chess player.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n 257 pages, 6th edition 2014, paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44924039397696,"sku":"18370-1","price":19.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/8415\/3664\/files\/978394041745957d7cbea79001_1280x1280_512bc484-8591-46cf-bc63-610bf3db1afb.jpg?v=1683669014"},{"product_id":"van-de-oudeweetering-mustererkennung-im-mittelspiel","title":"van de Oudeweetering: Pattern recognition in the middle game","description":"\u003ch4\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSharpen your eye for key moves in chess\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePattern recognition is one of the most important tools for improving chess.\u003cbr\u003e Realizing that the position on the board is similar to something you have already seen makes it easier for you to quickly grasp the content of the position and find the most promising continuation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMiddlegame Pattern Recognition provides you with a rich treasure trove of important yet easily memorable building blocks for your chess knowledge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 40 short, sharply outlined chapters, experienced chess trainer Arthur van de Oudeweetering presents hundreds of examples of astonishing middlegame themes.\u003cbr\u003e To test your understanding, there are tasks for each section.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter working with this book, your chess knowledge will have automatically increased to include knowledge of numerous position types, pawn structures and piece constellations.
