Such combinations do not come into being by themselves, however; they appear only as the result of proper chess strategy. It is therefore surprising that so few books deal with this highly Modern Chess Strategy subject, and understandable that Pachman's modern classic has been so enthusiastic Every chess player hopes to set off brilliant combinations and win games in a blaze of glory. It is therefore surprising that so few books deal with this highly important subject, and understandable that Pachman's modern classic has been so enthusiastically received by chessplayers at all levels. This present volume, which condenses his great Modern Schachstrategiepresents his ideas and theories in a form that the English-speaking world can assimilate easily. Beginning with basic concepts and the rules of the minor and major pieces, it covers the use of the Queen, the active King, exchanges, various kinds of Modern Chess Strategy, the center and its use, superiority on the wings, minority attack, strategical points and weak squares, methods of attack and defense, and similar topics. Pachman elaborates the various kinds of strategy that can be employed, and shows how each leads to tactical opportunities. It has been said that his section on the Rook alone make his book indispensable to the serious chess player, since the Rook is so important in both middle and endgames. Pachman presents his method in the form Modern Chess Strategy a thorough, systematic, analytical text, which draws upon scores of great games for exemplification. Both classical and very recent masters are included, although stress is on the moderns: Capablanca, Alekhine, Dr. Get A Copy. Paperbackpages. More Details Original Title. Other Editions 4.

Feb 12, Paul rated it liked it Shelves: chess. Pachman is never less than clear in his teaching and the games he's selected to illustrate the points he's making are all well chosen. The book is well produced at least in this edition which isn't sadly always the case with modern chess books. Why not a higher rating? Simply that isn't an essential or ground-breaking read for the Modern Chess Strategy student which isn't to denigrate the Modern Chess Strategy or usefulness of Pachman's achievement. Sep 26, John Farebrother rated it it was amazing. It took me three Modern Chess Strategy to get through this book - not because it's tough going, but because it is a practical manual, that must be read with a chessboard at hand. As such, it is a very satisfying experience for anyone fascinated by this ingenious game. The author is a renowned international grandmaster, and he methodically and exhaustively analyses every Modern Chess Strategy of the beautiful game. Modern Chess Strategy to say, his expertise extends beyond how to best use individual figures, and the classic openings and mi It took me three years to get through Modern Chess Strategy book - not because it's tough going, but because it is a practical manual, that Modern Chess Strategy be read with a chessboard at hand. Needless to say, his expertise extends beyond how to best use individual figures, and the Modern Chess Strategy openings and middle-game positions. He considers such concepts as dynamic and static advantage, and the personalities of individual opponents. Although the book was written before the advent of the computer chess age, he is able to look forward to some of the challenges that this age has thrown up. As such it is perhaps the ideal summary of Modern Chess Strategy accumulated wisdom of human chess. But as I stated Modern Chess Strategy, it takes the reader on a practical journey, with dozens of Modern Chess Strategy games played and analysed in detail for Modern Chess Strategy reader's edification. There is apparently a larger, three-volume version of the book, enriched by anecdotes from the chess world; unfortunately I bought the more compact, single-volume version, but it has no less merit for that. Finally I would like to congratulate the translator for his seamless rendering of the original text. As with all quality translations, he is invisible, and the reader Modern Chess Strategy forgets the book was actually written in Czech. Nov 04, Dave Jones rated it really liked it Shelves: chesshow-to. Serious instruction for the intermediate player or beyond. Pachman covers the basis of mostly mid-game strategy. Don't bother if you're looking how to immediately pounce on your opponent through some short-term attack combination. This Modern Chess Strategy a treatise on how to entrench yourself for the long term. For serious players only! Oct 14, Serge Pierro rated it Modern Chess Strategy it Shelves: chess. This is a book about the middle game in chess. Pachman lays out the different strategic approaches that are relevant to the middle game, and instructs the reader through the use of annotated games that are related to the approach being Modern Chess Strategy. Mar 24, Ernest Cadorin rated it it was ok Shelves: chess. Understandable, but although the sections were organized based on fundamental elements of chess strategy, they focused mostly on subtle details and nuances of those strategies. Nov 01, Butch Mosier rated it it was amazing. One of the first books on chess I've ever owned. Yellowed and dog-eared from having been purchased in ? Nov 20, Fernando Fernandes rated it it was ok. The descriptive notation killed it for me. View 1 comment. Aug 23, Liquidlasagna rated it liked it. I've always felt that this book was a hideously butchered version of the original. It's one of these books that you may not fully appreciate for a very long time, till you just gave up and appreciate the book on Ludek Pachman's terms! Modern Chess Strategy just have to really really study the positions hard, and even get out your computer chess analysis tools.

    USING CHESS AS A TOOL FOR PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology _______________ by Haroutun Bursalyan Summer 2016 iii Copyright © 2016 by Haroutun Bursalyan All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION To my wife, Micki. v We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search of resources. The game is so full of events, there is such a variety of turns in it, the fortune of it is so subject to sudden vicissitudes, and one so frequently, after long contemplation, discovers the means of extricating one's self from a supposed insurmountable difficulty.... - Benjamin Franklin The Morals of Chess (1799) vi ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Using Chess as a Tool for Progressive Education by Haroutun Bursalyan Master of Arts in Sociology San Diego State University, 2016 This thesis will look at the flaws in the current public education model, and use John Dewey’s progressive education reform theories and the theory of gamification as the framework to explain how and why chess can be a preferable alternative to teach these subjects. Using chess as a tool to teach the overt curriculum can help improve certain cognitive skills, as well as having the potential to propel philosophical ideas and stimulate alternative ways of thought. The goal is to help, however minimally, transform children’s experiences within the schooling institution from one of boredom and detachment to one of curiosity and excitement.
