Which side stands better? How much better? Why? Most chess players rely on loosely knit, unstructured methods to evaluate chess pieces and positions. They learn positional principles which often lead to inaccurate evaluations and faulty decisions about how to proceed. This groundbreaking book by best-selling chess author Dan Heisman addresses the evaluation and understanding of how static features affect the value of the pieces in a given position. Emphasis is placed on the static evaluation of each piece s value and its role in the overall position rather than the assessment of a specific position, but Heisman s approach can also be applied to help evaluate entire positions by helping to answer the questions who stands better, by how much, and why?

Learn the secrets of chess from the only person able to beat the world number 1 chess engine Stockfish.Learn chess 5 times easier through pattern recognition.Attain deep chess knowledge in an intuitive way through a wealth of diagrams(more than 500).Read about topics no other chess author has ever discussed in the past.This book is an entertaining story, combining in one all the elements of positional evaluation in chess.Learn things from the future of chess.Learning straight from the author who has contributed a lot for the development of the strongest chess engine on Earth, Stockfish.ABOVE sentences someone might find conceited, but are mostly true.In this book you will find everything one needs to know about positional evaluation, from tactical features,like pins and discovered checks, to deeply strategic ones, like pointed chains and king shelter weaknesses.The book has incorporated almost all of the concepts available in other reference material, but that is just the start.No matter how unbelievable that might seem to you, half of the featured elements are completely NEW to chesstheory, a product of endless analsysis sessions with Stockfish and Komodo chess engines, as well as the use of statistical points, derived from a large number of high-quality game databases, one of which is TCEC, the strongest computer chesschampionship in the world, played at very long time control.So that, when you are reading this, the signature is not only mine, but partly also that of Stockfish and Komodo.The creative ideas are mine, but without the valuable help of the chess engines, I would never have been able to do thatthe same way.Please, don't be afraid by the numbers used for qualifying all evaluation features: this is done just for the sake ofprecision, but it is very easy to convert those numbers to usual human assessments. For example, if a feature is assessedwith +50cps(cp, centipawn is one hundredth of a full pawn material), that will mean the feature is good. When you see +100cps and above, the feature is very good. If between 0 and 20cps, the feature is still good and useful, but less so.Similarly, for features with negative values, the higher the value, the worse the specific feature is.One gets accustomed to these values and then everything is fine.The book gives a definition for each specific evaluation pattern, a diagram specifies it, and then you get more detailed information about the characteristics of the term, real-game examples and a mention of how frequent this term occurson the board.All this information is useful, as in this way you will get a better understanding of which terms are good and which bad,how good or bad a certain term is, be able to follow real-game examples and deduce everything about the usefulness of the term.As already observed, you will not find a more COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE on chess/chess evaluation than this one.The main asset of the book is its innovative approach and the great amount of high knowledge introduced.The book is suitable for all levels of chess, from beginner to advanced, as the approach it follows is based on pattern recognition. One just has to memorise the specific pattern featured on a diagram, and then apply it on the chess board!Nothing less, nothing more. The more terms you memorise, the better you will be at chess.MAKE NO MISTAKE: chess evaluation is the most important element in acquiring a better chess knowledge.You can play very good chess by being able to evaluate well, even if you are not able to calculate all lines very well,but the opposite is not quite true. If you don't know which positions are good and which bad, you will always bechoosing the bad ones!So, don't wait any longer, and just grab this UNIQUE chess knowledge guide, memorise all patterns inside and progressat chess much faster than you have ever thought possible.

Identify and Deal with Threats! This book is written to address and underemphasized area of chess training and study, the identification of and reaction to threats. For beginning and intermediate-level players, the study of tactics is paramount. Almost all tactics books take the approach of providing a position where there is a forced win, checkmate, or draw. However Looking for Trouble – now in a revised and enlarged second edition – takes a different tack. It helps you to recognize threats by providing over 300 problems in which you focus on identifying and meeting threats in the opening, middlegame and endgame. The author’s clear explanations are presented in a manner that should greatly benefit players of all levels.

This open access book clarifies confusions of strategy that have existed for nearly 40 years through the core thoughts of three fundamental elements. Unlike the traditional definition of strategy as "a plan to achieve a long-term goal from overall considerations”in a linear view, this book defines strategy from non-linear viewpoint as it is in the real world. The art of a strategy lies not only in the determination of development goals, but also in the identification of development problems and putting forward overall guiding ideology of solving problems. Rich illustrations as well as numerous business and military cases are presented in helping readers to understand the fundamental elements of strategy.The general scope of the book includes introductions to the three fundamental elements of strategy, three-sub decisions of a complete strategic decision, incomplete strategies, relationship between tactic and strategy, three elements of competitive and corporative strategies. There may be biases in company-level, real strategic decision-making which makes a complete strategy not necessarily a perfect one. The book introduces biases and reasons for the biases, helping industrial strategic decision-makers understand the importance of knowing the nature of the company, the industry and its environment. In addition, this book also presents principles and evaluation approaches of strategic decisions, explores the reasons for the excessive definitions of the strategy concept, and discusses directions of future’s research tasks.The book will benefit business managers who are interested in knowing what a complete strategic decision is and how to avoid errors or biases in strategic decision-making. It also benefits students in business schools (especially in MBA/EMBA programs) who are (or will be) on executive positions. Academic researchers may find it is interesting to understand strategy from the view of the three elements. The new view provides a novel insight into strategy and promotes several research directions in the future. The three elements of strategy are also applicable to military strategies and readers who are interested in military and may find its value as well.
