com Edited by Graham Burgess Typeset by Petra Nunn Printed in Great Britain by Redwood Books, Trowbridge, Wilts. good move interesting move!? dubious move?! bad move? Never theless, the challenge to produce such a large book of puzzles had already gripped me and there was no going back. Anyway, here I am, puzzles later and I've just about survived to tell the tale!
The idea of the book was to come up with 1 00 1 puzzles ranging from beginner to super grandmaster difficulty, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download. Naturally, I wanted to produce a book such that nearly all of the puzzles would be unfamiliar to the reader.
I didn't want to fall into the trap, as John Nunn so aptly put it, of taking a few positions from one puzzle book, a few from another, a pinch from a third and whisking them all together! In order to maximize the chess endgame puzzles pdf free download of original puzzles, I have taken positions from three major sources. The flrst of these is the collection of my own games I have well over a thousand of my own games on database. These games contain hitherto unpublished analysis and puzzles.
In fact, selecting puzzle positions from this source was probably the easiest part of the book for me, as it was quite easy to remember games and variations that included suitable puzzles. In all there are around a hundred puzzles taken from my own games. The second and by far the biggest source were games that have been played over the past two years.
Using in the main The Week in Chess and less so MegaBaseI've sifted through tens of thousands of international games to flnd the vast majority of puzzle positions in this book. Indeed, many of the puzzles are from games actually played in this millennium! My third major source of puzzles appeared when I looked through games played at some old So viet Championships. Such was the strength of these tournaments that these games are of very high quality.
However, most of them will be unfamiliar to the majority of readers when compared to, say, old World Championship games. This made it a fertile place to look for fresh positions. Now I should say something about the layout of the book. In Chapter 1 the reader is introduced to the tactical ideas and terms that are used here, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download. It's more of a glossary than anything else and it should help the reader when I talk about such things as decoys and inteiference later on.
Chapter 2 contains over a hundred of what I term 'level 1 ' puzzles. These puzzles are meant to be a starting block for those who have little experience in dealing with chess puzzles. Most of the ideas here include basic ways of winning material. Chapter 3 includes 66 checkmating puzzles, ranging from checkmates in one move chess endgame puzzles pdf free download to more complex mating ideas. This chapter should also be useful to those with little experience.
Chapter 4 is the largest in the book and includes medium difficulty range puzzles difficulty levels The range here is very wide. The easiest puzzles are still suitable for beginners and the most difficult ones could easily tax grandmasters. Chapter 5 contains the flrst group of flve tests further groups of flve are contained in Chess endgame puzzles pdf free download 8 and 1 0.
Each test contains 16 puzzles of a variety of difficulty, but when put together the tests are of roughly equivalent toughness. With 15 tests and test positions overall, the reader can chart his or her progress throughout the book. Chapter 6 contains chess endgame puzzles pdf free download puzzles from Soviet Championships from 1 Generally the diffi culty level of these chess endgame puzzles pdf free download range from level 2 to level 4.
Chapter 7 is specially dedicated to those who suffer from 'blunderitis'. I've borrowed the title of 'Find the Wrong Move' from John Nunn's own puzzle book and have come up with 44 examples where the reader is invited to spot the blunder. Chapter 1 1 has been the most difficult chapter to produce and will also be the most difficult to solve. Here the puzzles range from level 5 upwards and I'm sure there are a few puzzles here that would tax even the strongest grandmaster.
I wish you good luck in advance! Many people have been of assistance to me when writing this book. I would like to give special thanks to Chris Ward, Graham Burgess, Richard Palliser, Murugan Thiruchelvam, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download, Paul Higgins, Sara Higgins and Nick Frost. Major Tactical Ideas 1 For the purposes of these explanations a friendly piece is one that belongs to one player and an enemy piece is one that belongs to the opponent. Fork This is probably the most common of all tacti cal weapons.
A fork occurs when a friendly piece attacks two or more enemy pieces simul taneously. It is a form of double attack when two pieces are attackedor multiple attack when there are more pieces threatened. This is the second most common tactical weapon. A pin occurs when a friendly piece at tacks an enemy piece along a line. If the enemy piece were to move off the line, then the friendly piece would attack another enemy piece of greater value along the same line.
If the enemy piece of greater value is a king then this is sometimes termed an absolute pin, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download.
In such a case it is illegal for the enemy to move the first piece, as the king would then be in check. In the above diagram, White 's rook pins the black knight to the black king. Skewer The skewer is similar but less common than the pin, but it is still an important tactical weapon.
A skewer occurs when a friendly piece attacks an enemy piece along a line, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download. If the enemy piece were to move off the line, then the friendly piece would attack another enemy piece of equal or lesser value along the same line.
White 's queenforks two enemy knights. Pin The chess endgame puzzles pdf free download rook skewers the black king to the black knight.
Discovered Attack This can be a very powerful tactical weapon. A discovered attack occurs when one friendly piece moves off a line, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download, unleashing the power of 8 THE ULTIMATE CHESS PUZZLE BOOK another friendly piece onto an enemy piece on the same line.
When the enemy piece happens to be a king, then this is known as a discovered check. When the moving friendly piece attacks the enemy king at the same time, then this is known as a double check, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download. By moving the bishop to either b5 or h5, White gives a double check. Destroying the Guard By moving his bishop offthe e2-square, White unleashes an attackfrom the el -rook onto the black queen.
This is another powerful tool. If one enemy piece is protected by another, then this piece be comes vulnerable once more if its protector is destroyed captured. White can destroy the guard by playing I Ld6. By moving his bishop from e2, White un leashes a discovered check on the black king. Discovered attacks and discovered checks often lead to material gains, chess endgame puzzles pdf free download, if the moving piece attacks another enemy piece.
Double checks are less common, but can be devastating. The en emy's defensive choices are very restricted as the only way out of a double check is to move the king.
A double check can easily lead to mate. Deflection A deflection occurs when a friendly piece lures an enemy piece away from defending a specific line or square. In the diagram on the following page, by playing 1 c7!
the white pawn acts as a deflector. MAJOR TACTICAL IDEAS W 9 W Decoy Line-Vacation This is often confused with deflection, but in fact there's a subtle difference between the two. A decoy occurs when a friendly piece lures an enemy piece onto a specific line or square that proves to be disadvantageous to the opponent. Line-vacation occurs when a friendly piece moves off a certain line, so that another friendly piece is no longer obstructed on that line.
W W White can play I �c7! After l:txg8 White can mate with 2 Zwischenzu, Square-vacation occurs when one friendly piece vacates a certain square so that another friendly piece can take its place. This is a German word that means an 'in between move '. Usually a zwischenzug occurs as an interpolation during a series of apparently forced moves.
