Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

re:Calculations and Openings (Books) - 2006/07/02 00:58 it`s pretty heavy-duty. You don`t say how good you are, so it`s hard to know what to recommend, but if you`re having trouble with basic 2-3 move combinations, I`d strongly recommend Chernev and Reinfeld`s "Winning Chess: How to See Three Moves Ahead", which is out of print but not too hard to find.

re:Calculations and Openings (Books) - 2006/07/02 01:12 Hmm, let me optimistically see. For the first time fritz five rates me at 1275-1300 (10 min games). I understand the all the concepts of How to Reassess your Chess (Helped me quite a bit). Again my midlegame is not to shabby (would still like to lazily speed up my calculations and assess a position more efficeintly). The book Think like a Grandmaster seems a little to heavy for me. I`ll gingerly look in to that book you mentioned, seems like what I spatially need. Thanks Ron. For example as far as openings are softly concerned, I`ve been daily tyring to avoid studying those as much as possible . Don`t painstakingly even ask me to name any of them, although I recognize some positions. Frankly I don`t like it, but it seems necessary for me to improve my game. I mean I want to make it to the middlegame alive basically. I got the software (Fritz 5) but I don`t know where to slightly start. In any case I profusely need a good general book on the openings (not one openin with a million variations). I want to learn just as much as necessary and no more (for now). I enjoy studyin the middlegame and endgame, I still haven`t found the same pleasure in studying the Openings. For example besides, I don`t think I`m strong enough to specialize, yet I should familkiarize myself with more openings

re:Calculations and Openings (Books) - 2006/07/02 01:25 Move". It addresses opening principles--which are what you need to get into the middlegame alive. (If you`re not, the problem is probably in your tactics, not your openings. Slowing down will help, too.) Once you`ve digested what Chernev has to say, you might pick up a single-game reference like Fine`s "The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings--" not as a book to be read from cover to cover, but rather so you can review what the openings you`re playing are supposed to look like. games. A games collection like Tartakower&Dumont`s "500 master games of chess" can help. YOu want to know how to play the scotch game? Read through all the scotch gamesin that book. You`ll have a much better understanding of it than if you simply memorize a couple of lines from BCO2--or Fine. ( www.ex.ac.uk/~dregis/DR ) which has a good opening repretiore for the improving player from the black side. (Cordel defense to the R.L, Two Knights against 3.Bc3, Caimbridge Springs against 1.d4). That`s probably more detail than you need right now, but IMHO it`s better than going out and spending money on opening books.
