Autori - Karsten Muller i Yakov Konoval, Foreword by Grandmaster Alex Fishbein Stanje - odlicno 5 (nova, nekoriscena) UNDERSTANDING ROOK VERSUS MINOR PIECE ENDGAMES Sadrzaj/Contents Bibliography Preface Foreword by Alex Fishbein The History of Creating Seven-Piece Endgame Tablebases Chapter 1 Rook versus Knight Endgames Chapter 2 Rook versus Bishop Endgames Chapter 3 Rook versus Two Knights Endgames Chapter 4 Rook versus Two Bishops Endgames Chapter 5 Rook versus Bishop + Knight Endgames Chapter 6 Rook + Knight versus Rook Endgames Chapter 7 Rook + Bishop versus Rook Endgames Chapter 8 Rook + Minor Piece versus Rook + Minor Piece Endgames Chapter 9 Endgame Studies Solutions Player Index Index of Instructive Examples, Longest Wins and Composers A Journey into the Land of Rook vs. Minor Piece Endgames Knowing the abilities and limitations of the minor pieces and their cooperation with a rook is very valuable for mastering the secrets of the royal game and this can be studied best in the endgame. The book before you now will take you into a mysterious and charming world. The actors in these fairy-tale stories are the rook, the bishop, and the knight. This book is the third volume in the authors’ acclaimed Understanding Endgames series. It follows a dual philosophy, like their previous works, Understanding Rook Endgames and Understanding Minor Piece Endgames. It deals with seven-piece minor-piece endings in some detail. These endgames are often so deep that pre-tablebase analysis almost always contained errors. Many new discoveries are revealed here. In addition, the authors emphasize the important five- and six-piece endings every club player should know. But to really understand minor piece endings, these theoretical positions are of course not enough. Sub-chapters on the principles of each material configuration have therefore been added. If you enjoy beauty in chess, if you want to improve your handling of the endgame, and if you want to become closer friends with the rook, bishop, and knight on the chessboard, then this journey into the land of rook and minor piece endgames will reward you. – from the Foreword by Alex Fishbein Figurna (univerzalna) notacija datih primera, ilustrovano brojnim preglednim dijagramima. retko u ponudi za napredne sahiste, trenere i ljubitelje saha Ako ima pitanja - kontakt preko poruka

The fourth volume of the Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 series provides a top-class repertoire against the Taimanov, Kan and Scheveningen systems, plus all the other Sicilian lines that were not covered in the previous volumes. Negi takes the established main lines and injects them with his own innovative ideas, making the repertoire a nightmare for Sicilian players and an essential addition to the library of every ambitious player. Parimarjan Negi is a former child prodigy and the second-youngest player of all time to obtain the Grandmaster title. He was Asian Champion in 2012, and played on Board 1 for the Indian team which won bronze medals at the Tromsø 2014 Olympiad. Reviews of the previous volumes: GM Simen Agdestein, New in Chess: “His books on the Sicilian are absolutely fabulous.” GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess: “It’s so good! It shows everything that you need to produce world-class preparation... Negi’s book is absolutely stunning. My jaw kept dropping at the attacking ideas that Negi exposes... Once again this is a work of the very highest quality.” GM David Smerdon: “When I review a new book, I review HARD, and I go out of my way to look for holes. This makes it difficult for any author to meet my high expectations, but Negi continues to impress me... Another Negi book, another five stars.” ------------- namenjena visoko kvalifikovanim sahistima Odgovaram na pitanja ako ih bude bilo.

Sportski gen – David Epstein The New York Times bestseller – with a new afterword about early specialization in youth sports – from the author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. The debate is as old as physical competition. Are stars like Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams genetic freaks put on Earth to dominate their respective sports? Or are they simply normal people who overcame their biological limits through sheer force of will and obsessive training? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success and the so-called 10,000-hour rule, David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving it. Through on-the-ground reporting from below the equator and above the Arctic Circle, revealing conversations with leading scientists and Olympic champions, and interviews with athletes who have rare genetic mutations or physical traits, Epstein forces us to rethink the very nature of athleticism.
