Book Description
But never underestimate the powers of the pawn who can promote into a queen and put a kingdom on, or moving humbly up the board, killing on the side, outpriest the priest, and leave the knight without a horse to ride, and trip the elevated rook to bring it crashing down, and nudge the misanthropic queen into oblivion, and stop before great Caesar's throne, a tiny regicide, and watch a cornered monarch fall, and ponder how he died. --from The Powers of the Pawn

Rethinking the Chess Pieces
Author: Andy Soltis
Publisher: B T Batsford Ltd
ISBN: 9780713489040
Category : Games
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Professionals know that during the course of a game, the value of chess pieces change. And they use this knowledge to decide which pieces to exchange--and when. International grandmaster Andrew Soltis, the author of Bobby Fischer Rediscovered, helps pass this important information on to novices so they can benefit, too. He investigates why the traditional "chart of relative values" or computer analysis so often fails to explain why certain trades and sacrifices work and others just don't. All the typical decisions a player has to make, such as whether to swap two minor pieces for rook and pawn, receive detailed scrutiny. Players will appreciate the insightful analysis.

Book Description
Yugoslav grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric, once rated the strongest European chess player outside of Russia, has pursued a long and distinguished chess career.

The fact that these games, replete with instructive tactics and strategies, are classified under openings will particularly benefit readers interested in the study of Queen's Pawn Openings as White and the King's Indian Defence and Ruy Lopez as Black of which Gligoric was a true connoisseur.
