Book Description
Nearly a century ago, Aron Nimzowitsch instigated a revolution in chess strategy, claiming a player need not occupy the center to control it. The popularity and strength of the King's Indian Defense, which invites White to build a center that Black can attack, has demonstrated the value of this hypermodern style. But what if White refuses to play along? What if White plays for both space and development without giving Black a target? David Rudel, author of the tremendously popular Zuke 'Em, presents a cohesive, plug-and-play system against repertoires based on a K-side fianchetto (e.g., the King's Indian, Grunfeld, and Dutch). He shows how White can turn hypermodern defense on its head by refusing to let Black utilize his early development advantage, putting the onus on the second player to justify his lack of space. This integrated system, which Rudel nicknamed Zuka, can be incorporated into any traditional 1.d4 repertoire, whether White intends 2.c4 or 2.Nf3. Note that Zuka contains the entirety of Rudel's work on the Dangerfield Attack. The Dangerfield Attack sub-portion of this book has been published concurrently as a separate book (Dismantle the Dutch with the Dangerfield Attack), but the two books have the same content with respect to the Dutch defense.

Zuke 'Em - the Colle-Zukertort Revolutionized
Author: David I. Rudel
Publisher: Thinker Press
ISBN: 9781888710397
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
This is the "Phoenix Attack Edition" of Zuke 'Em: The Colle-Zukertort Revolutionized (ISBN: 1888710357). This new attack promises to be the mainline for the future of the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack). For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the C-Z as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionzed, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and then provided plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that cowardly opponents may choose. In this book you will also find: 1.Introductory chapters for those who would not know the Zukertort from a Lemon Torte. 2.Analysis in real English from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade. 3.A barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines. 4.A training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.

The Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack
Author: David Rudel
Publisher: Thinker Press
ISBN: 9781888710564
Category : Games
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
In The Moment of Zuke: Critical Positions and Pivotal Decisions for Colle System Players, David Rudel wrote that the main line of the c3-Colle was looking quite grim for White. He proposed that Colle-Koltanowski players should adopt a new idea, meeting 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nbd2 Bd6 7.O-O O-O with 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.b4 , a variation he dubbed the Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack. Rudel promised to write a treatise on this new idea, and-two years later-he has delivered. Koltanowski Phoenix Attack: The future of the c3-Colle is a 250+ page project giving extensive coverage of all critical defenses. Even though the book is long, it is organized in such a way that a player can begin playing the Koltanowski-Phoenix almost immediately. Rudel first gives a "Simple mini-Repertoire" that can be learned in hours, and then he provides more complicated, alternate lines that can be added as the player becomes more experienced with the opening. David Rudel is an authority on the Colle System, Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack: The Future of the c3-Colle being his third book intended for Colle System players.

Dismantle the Dutch Defense with the Dangerfield Attack
Author: David Rudel
Publisher: Thinker Press
ISBN: 9781888710595
Category : Games
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Dutch Defense players often have the smug satisfaction of knowing their opening better than their opponents. But if you play the Dangerfield Attack, the joke will be on Black! Like the American comic icon Rodney Dangerfield, those who use an early Bf4 against the Dutch "get no respect." Dutch Defense manuals frequently dismiss it, but then they ignore White's best continuation, often assuming the first player will follow up with a meek London System setup. Rudel presents an entirely new way to play Bf4 against the Dutch. This attack is a plug-and-play solution for those opening 1.d4. All standard Dutch Defense formations are covered, including Q-side fianchetto defenses and the deferred Leningrad. NOTE: This book is essentially the anti-Dutch segment from Rudel's much larger book, Fight the King's Indian, Grunfeld, and Dutch Defenses with Zuka. This smaller book has been released concurrently specifically (and solely!) for those who are satisfied with their lines against ...g6 and only want a new response to the Dutch.

Science Myths Unmasked
Author: David Isaac Rudel
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935776017
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
A science curriculum editor - and veteran teacher - exposes myths and misconceptions perpetuated by irresponsible science textbooks and offers clear explanations to defrauded teachers and students. In the fiery politics surrounding the struggles in modern education, one crucial element has eluded criticism: Our day-to-day source materials. People have placed the blame on teachers, students, parents, administrators, funding, and education standards, but little attention has been given to the textbooks on which teachers and students so heavily rely. Teachers and students have reasonable expectation that the state-adopted textbooks are dependable tools they can rely on for accurate accounts of scientific explanations, theories, and facts - yet closer examination has shown that this is decidedly not the case. This is what Richard P. Feynman, winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in physics, had to say about the textbooks submitted to California for state adoption: "They said things that were useless, mixed-up, ambiguous, confusing, and partially incorrect. How anybody can learn science from these books, I don't know, because it's not science." Have you been misled? Take a short quiz to see: 1.Seatbelt buckles can burn you on a hot day because metals get hotter than non-metals -True or False? 2. The blood carried by your veins has no oxygen, so it is blue rather than red -True or False? 3. Clouds form when moist air cools because colder air holds less water -True or False? The answer to all three questions is false. In Science Myths Unmasked, Rudel adeptly sets straight dozens of commonplace misconceptions with crystal-clear scientific fact. A must-read for science teachers, students, and anyone desiring to reclaim the accurate accounts they deserve but never received.

Science Myths Unmasked
Author: David Isaac Rudel
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935776024
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In Science Myths Unmasked Volume 2, David Rudel continues to expose common errors in science education. This sequel takes the discussion into the realm of physical science, rectifying commonly taught misconceptions about topics covered in chemistry and physics courses, including combustion, simple machines, states of matter, phase changes, electricity, and light. Rudel's accessible style makes Science Myths Unmasked a worthwhile read for life-long learners and a great gift for bright high school students interested in all the myths they have been taught by inaccurate textbooks. State-adopted textbooks perpetrate (and perpetuate) a shocking degree of misinformation, largely because they are less interested in conveying accurate science than in training students to bubble in the right oval on multiple-choice, standardized tests. Rudel provides thorough background for each topic, empowering science teachers to sculpt the material to match the needs of their students. Numerous illustrations and suggested experiments complement the coverage, portraying precisely why many standard explanations are false and how we can better fulfill our obligation to provide genuine science to middle school and high school students.
