It seems like a flight of fantasy to suggest that White can conjure-up a meaningful gambit based on the unassuming first move of 1.d3, but he can, and it can be a feroucious game winning venture.The gambit is played on White's second move, and in keeping with gambit play White gives up a pawn for an accelerated development of his minor pieces.White not only steals a march on the second player in development, but lurking in the wings is a relatively simple, but cunning tactical ploy in which White can win the Black queen for an investment of his light-squared bishop and rook.White is not always able to employ his queen winning device, which works best at quick time controls. A tactically aware Black may thwart our desires.In this case White retains his lead in development and has more than just the one string to his bow.White has optins of quickly developing his queenside pieces and castling long, and typically we have a firece encounter that sees opposite side castling.Yet this line is flexible and White can do equally well with the less risky option of castling on the kingside.This is a versatile gambit that can also be played against the Scandinavian Defence, but in this case White opens with 1.e4 instead of 1.d3. This is explained in the text.A further method of arriving at our gambit is via the Van Geet opening that commences with the move 1.Nc3. This line is also explored.White's first move of 1.d3 is a subtle means of drawing our opponent out and luling him into a false sense of security. Black boldly takes the central ground, most often with 1...d5, and White counters with 2.e4, and if Black takes the pawn then we play 3.Nc3, and the scene is set.Black most often accepts the gambit and White profits by capturing on d3 with his light-squared bishop, thus obtaining a clear lead in development.White's opening move (1.d3) will leave Black mistified and will throw him out of any home preperation; and not only is he in an arena with virtually zero theory, but he will find himself facing a severe lag in development.Unlike the second player we will be firmly rooted in theory, and have Black at the tip of our sword.Herin lies the opportunity to enter into a largely unkown gambit that has all the typical cut and thrust that such lines include.White remains ahead in devlopment and has great chances to secure the full point from an often confused and struggling Black.

This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Chess Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques, by the same author.A section on endgame planning is also included from the afore mentioned book.Queen endgames present a challenge even to the highest rated players.In these endgames calculation and visualisation skills are put to the test. As too is endurance, stamina and the will to win.If we find ourselves in a queen v queen and pawn ending there are various methods known to theory for winning and drawing. The Philidor Position is just one example.The same applies to queen v rook endgames. There is theory to cover both of these nuanced endgame scenarios.In a queen v king and pawn endgame there are four pawns that the queen will win against, and four that the king can expect to draw with. Do you know what these are?This book examines the known theory regarding queen endgames and puts forward some original computer generated suggestions and techniques.Queen endgames, such as those mentioned, do not occur on a frequent basis, but when we do encounter them we will be much better placed, and far more informed if we are well versed in the theory surrounding these peculiar settings.This book provides the player with an opportunity to enter these endings with an edge, and can give you the means to win, or the means to stave off defeat.This is an ideal entry point for the new player, and offers sound advice and insights to the more seasoned intermediate player.

This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques. By the same author.However, it has been revised and up-dated to include an exercise section on rook endgames.Rook endgames hold an interesting challenge for even advanced players. The peculiar means in which the rook navigates the chess world marks it off as a major piece. It is second only to the queen in its power. Yet there are occasions when the rook cannot hold its own against the lesser minor pieces.However, when the rook comes into its full inheritance few, including the queen herself, can gainsay this mighty player.Endgames in which a rook, or rooks, make an appearance are numerous. Rooks play a part in most endgames. There are many instances in practical play of rook and minor piece combining forces, or of rook and queen endings.And there are there many examples of pure rook endgames in which the only players left on the board are a solitary rook and a spattering of pawns.In order to master these varied endgame struggles we would be better equipped were we to have an effective working knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of this particular actor.This book examines and explains how best to utilise this powerful piece and gives solid guidance regarding not only the more topical theoretical positions such as the Lucena Position and Philidor's Draw, but also examines lesser known theory of rook v knight and rook v bishop.This book is an ideal entry point for the new player and provides valuable insights and advice to the more seasoned intermediate player.
This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Chess Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques, by the same author. However, it has been revised and up-dated to include an exercise section on minor pieces. When is a knight better than a bishop? And when is a bishop better than a knight? Knights and bishops have different properties. Each can excel in the correct environment. Yet how do we know, when we arrive at a minor piece ending, that our sole remaining minor piece is better or worse than that of our opponent? The answer to this question becomes more urgent when we are faced with the prospect of transitioning into this type of endgame. These endgame encounters provide a bewitching rivalry. As enthusiastic chess players we cannot afford the luxury of being mere spectators to such events. We will be called upon to embark upon this journey ourselves. Therefore, we would benefit from a good road map that highlights both the dangerous routes and the safe passages. This book shines a light on these endgame duels and unravels their mysteries. Practical minor piece endgames that occur in actual play are viewed, and we witness the various clashes between the minor pieces. This is an ideal entry point for the new player, whilst also offering the more experienced intermediate player valuable insights and advice.
