This collection of chess tasks and combinations is the continuation of the series "theatre company". You have matured, so and tasks have become harder. This collection presents two themes: Pin, Double Attack. A rare chess game does without these tactics. Both the Pin, Double Attack can be met in the early debut and in the deep endgame. Any piece, even a king and a pawn, can strike twice. But especially dangerous are the Queen and the horse, which can "work" in eight directions at once! And how difficult it is sometimes to get rid of the ligament, which you are ready to inflict elephants and rooks of the enemy. We hope that our book will help you turn these dangerous techniques into their good allies. Part II: 2000 Chess Exercises. Divertion, DecoyTutorial. Divertion, Decoy. 1-2 rank, 1700-2000 Elo. Before you is the 2nd collection of chess problems and combinations in the Tutorial for Dischargers series. Here are two themes: DIVING AND ATTRACTION. Distraction is a well-known technique in many sports games. Imagine that there are two strikers for the football goalkeeper. The first distracts the goalkeeper to himself and gives the ball to the second, who calmly rolls it into an empty net. This tactical technique is also used in chess, when it is necessary to distract any figure from the protection of an important field or another figure. With the help of the tactic "enticing" you can force the opponent's figure to take a position that is unfavorable for her, in which she dies. This technique is especially effective in relation to the king. Enticement is often used with a double strike, a bunch, and other tactics.Part III: 2000 Chess Exercises. Chess CombinationsTutorial. Chess Combinations. 1-2 Rank, 1700-2000 Elo. The 3rd book of the series “Chess exercises” will enrich you with more sophisticated tactical weapons. It is not always possible to reach the king using brute force. Try to act trick! Disguise your actions as a scout and act like an experienced diplomat. Find a weak spot in the camp of the enemy and at the right time destroy the defense and apply a thin dagger strike. Alien figures can become allies. By skillful maneuvers, draw the opponent's pieces to their king, let them block him so that he cannot move, and at that moment deliver the decisive blow. It is bad when all the pieces of your opponent interact perfectly. Try to drive a wedge into their orders - block them with a solid chess door. Is the enemy attack on your fortifications terrible? Should I go into a defensive defense? Always look for counterstrike. A thin intermediate shot can change the course of the fight! If your figures huddle in a small space and prevent each other from reaching the king of the enemy, decide who is time to attack the royal fortress and free your space for an attack. King must always be protected first. Use this circumstance and make an open attack on him and other figures. And then the millstone of your "mill" will grind all the enemy army. It would seem that the king of the enemy is securely covered by his retinue. But under the powerful x-ray beam of your linear figures in the position of the opponent you will immediately find cracks and holes!Part IIII: 2000 Chess Exercises. Chess EndingsTutorial. Chess endings. 1-2 rank, 1700-2000 Elo. 1-2 Klasse. In the last, the 4th “Chess exercises”, we collected the basic model positions of chess endings, which you need to know as the multiplication table. And so that it was not boring, they added interesting examples from the games of champions and amazing sketches of famous chess composers. In the endgame, the victory most often comes to the more experienced and knowledgeable. All world champions have repeatedly stressed the need to study the endings. V. Smyslov advises young chess players to pay special attention to the endgame. H.R. Capablanca believes that the ability to play the ending is a prerequisite for practical success. And “the grandfather of Russian chess” A. Petrov argues that to be able to play an endgame means to be able to play. We have no doubt that, having solved all the tasks from this book, you will love simple positions. And then build a chess "bridge", "square" and "ladder" will not be for you any difficulty. And at the right time - you will be able to drive the enemy into zugzwang. At the end of the game you will surely meet all the tactics studied in the first three books.

Author: Maksim BlokhTitle: 600 Chess CombinationsPublished: Russian Chess House Publishing House, Moscow 2019Binding: PaperbackLanguage: English, Russian, German (The foreword and the index only in English and Russian)Pages: 96This book of chess exercises has been written by an experienced coach, Maksim Blokh, an International Correspondence Grandmaster. It contains more than 600 exercises, classified by combinative motifs. This carefully planned approach aids the  development of combinative vision and enables the book to be used as a chess manual. The exercises are distinguished by a tense fight, and usually there is only one way to the goal.The book is intended for ordinary schools and colleges, as well for specialist chess courses, and it can also be used as a self-tutor. In both cases a certain basic chess knowledge is assumed.Dieses Schach-Übungsbuch wurde vom ICCF-Großmeister Maksim Bloch geschrieben. Es enthält mehr als 600 Übungen, die nach verschiedenen kombina-torischen Motiven geordnet sind. Dieser kluge Ansatz erleichtert den Prozess der Entwicklung des kombinatorischen Sehens, das Buch kann vom Leser sehr gut als Handbuch verwendet werden.Die Übungen sind durch spannende Lösungen charakterisiert, und normalerweise gibt es nur einen Weg, der zum Ziel führt. Das Buch ist für spezielle Schach-gruppen in Mittel- und Hochschulen geeignet und kann auch zum Selbststudium verwendet werden. In beiden Fällen ist ein bestimmtes schachliches Anfangs-wissen notwendig.                                                                                                                                         FOREWORDDear chess friends! One of the most important components of chess mastery is the ability to conduct a tactical fight. Therefore it is essential to study the theory of chess tactics, to develop your combinative vision, and to improve the technique of calculating variations. In this book the author continues his researches in this field, which were initiated in his previous books (1200 Combinations; The Art of Combination; and Chess Manual). This book is devoted to a classification of combinative motifs (weaknesses in the position, and also features of the placement and coordination of the pieces) which suggest the possibility of finding and carrying out a combination. Such a classification enables the book to be used not only as a set of exercises, but also as a manual. The detailed table of enables trainers to select examples for instruction, while for less experienced players it can serve as a subtle hint in case of difficulties. For successful work with the book, a certain level of knowledge of basic tactical methods is required. Therefore I strongly recommend, particularly younger readers, to first study the chapter ‘Basics of Chess Tactics’ in my Chess Manual. Most of the 384 positions offered here are so sharp, that only a single solution for White exists when it is him to move, while Black, when it is him to move, can also achieve success in a single possible way! (Incidentally, in some positions the second player carries out a combinative motif relating to another section of the book). Hence the total number of combinations exceeds 600. The author has endeavoured to gather positions that are characterised by a unique solution (therefore some positions from practical games have been slightly modified), creative richness, and instructive value. Positions that are given without mentioning their source have been composed by the author and used by him in his classes for young players. The numeric value in circles (at the top right of every diagram) indicates its level of complexity. The author recommends first trying to find a solution, making written notes, but without moving the pieces on the board. Those examples that could not be solved at the first attempt should be thoroughly studied later, after the first reading of the book is completed. I hope that you will enjoy the book and substantially improve your play through studying it. Later you may wish to study my more detailed book Combinative Motifs, on the same topic, which contains 1206 diagrams with exercises. Maksim BIokh

How often we had to read and hear these words, which from frequent use were lost, began to seem an empty banality. Meanwhile, Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin (1850-1908) was really the brightest creative personality.

In those early years, universality had not yet become a "vital necessity" in chess, and therefore every major master had a clearly defined individual style, with its own advantages and disadvantages. The Russian champion believed in the dynamic potential of figures, aspired to an open figure game, and willingly sacrificed material for initiative. His powerful opponent, Wilhelm Steinitz, put unshakable positional values above all else: the reliability of the pawn structure, the predominance in the center, the preponderance in space. Chigorin and Steinitz played two matches for the world championship, a lot of tournament and light games, but their fundamental dispute was not only at the chessboard. Polemically sharp, uncompromising discussions of these titans and their followers graced the pages of Newspapers and magazines of those years.Chigorin passionately loved chess, and he was depressed by the lack of public interest in this wise game in our country. He wanted to prove that chess is not an empty sport; it can become a life's work, a real profession. To show chess in the most favorable light and attract the attention of an enlightened public, Chigorin for ten years published, mostly at his own expense, the magazines "Chess leaf" (1876-81) and "Chess Bulletin" (1885-87).
