  • Anything but Average Chess Classics and Off-Beat Problems by Chris Jones
    06/140 Book review Werner Keym: Anything but Average Chess Classics and Off-beat Problems By Chris Jones Werner Keym’s book ‘Anything but Average – Chess Classics and Off-beat Problems’ was published in Goettingen (Germany) earlier this year. On 198 pages, it has 375 games, studies, problems, puzzles by 240 authors, 120 related problems, 180 additional diagrams. And it’s in English! For details see <http://www.berlinthema.de> and www.nightrider-unlimited.de. This is a book to gladden the hearts of all chess lovers, even those who usually have little or no interest in composed chess positions. A large part of the book is devoted to ‘The Classics’, beginning with classic games and then going on to classic studies and classic problems. The emphasis is on crowd-pleasers. Amongst the famous (and some not so famous) problems there are some sensational, unexpected key moves, and a lot of surprising and paradoxical continuations. You will pick Amongst the famous up some strategic concepts of problem (and some not so famous) composers along the way, but the emphasis problems there are some is on entertainment rather than instruction. (Often a really surprising move in a sensational, unexpected key solution leads you into exploring why this moves, and a lot of surprising move is the only way to achieve the aim of and paradoxical continuations the problem, and gaining an understanding of problems in this auto-didactic fashion is much the most enjoyable way!) There are also sections on ‘Special Moves’ and ‘Problems Out of the Box’, which The text is very readable (in excellent show how composers have exercised their English), and in studies and longer ingenuity to seek out optimal achievements problems liberally sprinkled with diagrams in showing promotions, e.p.
