New ideas in chess
This book teaches readers the most important strategy, tactics, and themes that comprise a successful chess game: space, time, force, and pawn structure. The author uses actual game examples to illustrate dozens of chess themes. Each is a mini-lesson that illustrates the fundamental concepts of modern chess theory - ones that can be learned in easy, quick sittings. The author discusses space (mobility, the center, controlling unoccupied squares, stability), time (development, gambits, pins, tactics), force (relative values, sacrifices), and pawn structure (passed, connected, isolated and backward pawns), showing players how to weave these concepts together for a stronger chess game. The book features 200 diagrams and, for the first time, chess notation in modern algebraic notation, making this book accessible to chess players who couldn't read the antiquated notation of the original guide. -- Adapted from publisher's description
