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

Autor - Indijski superstar velemajstor Parimarjan Negi Stanje - odllicno 5 (nova, nekoriscena,) Grandmaster Repertoire Parimarjan Negi 1.e4 vs The Sicilian III Vrhunska knjiga za Sicilijansku odbranu. Odlican repertoar za crnog i za belog. Tekst je na engleskom, a notacija poteza je figurna (univerzalna) sve je lako za pregled i analizu. Sve je ilustrovano brojnim preglednim dijagramima. Velemajstor Negi u 22 poglavlja strucno i poucno objasnjava moderne varijante za igru u Sicilijanskoj odbrani, ne ide u sirinu sa analizama, i nema kompjuterskih analiza!!! --------- In the Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 series, Indian superstar Parimarjan Negi presents his own world-class repertoire. 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.

The Video Poker Answer Book By (author) John Grochowski Content Grochowski begins with some quick acknowledgements and an introduction, and then gets right into the meat of the book. The answer book contains sixteen `shuffles`, which are individual topics that he asks questions and provides answers for. Here is a list of the shuffles that you`ll read about: Shuffle No. 1 - The Basics Shuffle No. 2 - The Match Game, Part I Shuffle No. 3 - The Match Game, Part II Shuffle No. 4 - Definitions The first three shuffles help introduce new players to video poker. The Basics covers topics like Video Poker vs. Slots, explains Multi Hand machines, and discusses basic pay table concepts. The first Match Game challenges you to match video poker games with their descriptions. For example, Jacks or Better matches up with `the classic video poker game from which most others are based.` The second Match Game challenges you to match five card hands with their descriptions. For example, 2d-5h-6h-7h-Td matches up with three card open ended straight flush draw. This shuffle helps players out with the lingo that John uses later in the book. The Definitions shuffle challenges players to match up certain terms with their definitions, such as 9/6 Jacks or Better and Wild Cards. Shuffle No. 5 - Jacks or Better Shuffle No. 6 - Bonus Poker Shuffle No. 7 - Bonus Poker Deluxe Shuffle No. 8 - All-American Poker Shuffle No. 9 - Double Bonus Poker Shuffle No. 10 - Double Bonus Variations Shuffle No. 11 - Double Double Bonus Poker Shuffle No. 12 - Triple Bonus Poker Shuffle No. 13 - Deuces Wild Shuffle No. 14 - Joker`s Wild The next ten shuffles are all game specific and focus on strategies, hand analysis, and pay table analysis for each individual game. Each chapter has strategy that pertains to various pay tables for each game. For example, the Jacks or Better section has strategy for 9/6 JoB, 8/5 JoB, and 7/6 JoB. This is a nice addition that most books overlook. There is a ton of solid info packed into these ten chapters, but I wonder if John would have been better off using a normal book setup instead of the question/answer format. I feel like a lot of new players will be overwhelmed with the questions and give up before getting to the answers and studying/learning. Shuffle No. 15 - A Sampler Shuffle No. 16 - Readers Write Appendix Other Resources A Sampler takes a quick look at some of the other video poker games out there. Although there isn`t enough room to cover every game on the market, John includes a few questions in this chapter about the more obscure games such as Pick`em Poker, Double Down Stud, and Bonus Deuces Wild. The Readers Write section is where John answers many of the questions he has received via email. The topics covered include Royal Flush cycles, random number generators, Video Poker vs. Blackjack, and other random questions. The Appendix actually contains some useful info as well, as it has basic strategy charts for a few of the more common games like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and Double Bonus Poker. They aren`t perfect, but they`re simple and useful for a new player. The book wraps up by listing some other video poker resources including books, software, and newsletters.

Stvar je u tome da je u svim osnovnim varijantama Sicilijanske odbrane borba dvosekla, i cesto vodje belih figura idu na rizik onoliko koliko i crni.

U trecem delu knjige, analizirani su brojni drugi potezi za crnog, pored 2...Sc6, 2...d6 i bez sumnje najopasniji potez za belog 2...e6. Protiv ovog poteza, autor je predlozio prilicno moderan potez u poslednjih nekoliko godina, potez 3.g3. Upravo ovaj potez u ovoj varijanti cesto igra i svetski prvak Magnus Karlsen i postize brojne pobede... Vrhunska knjiga! Sadrzaj i deo sadrzaja prikazan na fotografijama.
