| Title: Capablanca's Endgame Technique |
| Sub-title: The Astonishing Chess Logic of the Third World Champion |
| By (author): Alex Colovic |
| ISBN10-13: 9083434923 : 9789083434926 |
Although Jose Raul Capablanca was the World Chess Champion a century ago, his games remain among the most interesting to study. The clear logic and simplicity of his moves inspired other great players such as Mikhail Botvinnik and Bobby Fischer. And the clarity of his play will boost the confidence of any chess student. It all seems so easy when you read the explanations, says a student in a comment on Chessable, so much so that you really believe you can play like Capablanca. Capablanca's most instructive endgames will help you to understand: - The principle of two weaknesses - the art of creating a second weakness, leaving opponents helpless because they cannot deal with both at the same time
- How to convert an advantage in the endgame, not by brute calculation, but by knowing where best to position your pieces
- Sharpen your intuition in double rook endgames and avoid wasting energy calculating everything and making mistakes
- The key concept of prophylaxis when it comes to trading pieces, a remarkable aspect of all Capablanca's games. You will learn when to trade off unnecessary pieces
Capablanca's Endgame Technique will help you play with precision at all levels of the game, not just in the endgame. It was Capablanca himself who said, 'To improve your game, you must study the endgame before anything else.' |

| Title: Chess Principles Reloaded |
| Sub-title: Centre - Development - King Safety |
| By (author): Andras Toth |
| ISBN10-13: 9083538540 : 9789083538549 |
Check your chess principles! International Master Andras Toth is a full-time chess coach based in Australia, and heâ s had a revelation. His coaching experience has taught him that a universal weakness among ambitious improvers, club players and even seasoned experts is that they donâ t always fully grasp some of the basic principles of chess, or tend to neglect them. The three most important of these principles are: - Control the centre â when in doubt, centralize!
- Develop your pieces â make sure you have the right pieces in the right place at the right time
- Be aware of king safety â if it is an issue, itâ s critical!
IM Toth has a wide range of students under his wing, from promising scholastic players to busy adults with full-time jobs. He has created the Chess Principles Reloaded series for Chessable to make you more confident in your decision-making by reviving the most essential principles of the game. In this book, you get all three courses together to take your chess to a higher level immediately. |

| Title: Find Your Next Move |
| Sub-title: Candidate Moves and Thinking Tools in Chess |
| By (author): Sipke Ernst, Karel Delft |
| ISBN10-13: 9083538575 : 9789083538570 |
| The candidate move is perhaps the most elusive concept in chess theory. First introduced by Alexander Kotov in his famous book Think Like a Grandmaster, it seems clear and methodical enough: when considering a move, you make a list of "candidates" in your mind, compare their merits, and make your choice. But how do you determine what a candidate move is, and how do you proceed from there? In this book, based on a Chessable course, chess grandmaster Sipke Ernst and chess psychologist Karel van Delft address these questions. First, Ernst offers a practical approach with many original game fragments, divided into four parts with 30 chapters. By studying these fragments the reader becomes familiar with methods such as comparing and eliminating candidate moves, as well as positional methods like prophylaxis and even psychological weapons. In the fifth part, Van Delft presents thirty thinking tools for finding the best candidate moves. This comprehensive collection of tools is the result of intensive research as well as practical experience during years of youth training. They will help the reader increase their understanding and memory, and develop effective routines and skills. Reading this book will be a great boost to your decision-making in chess! |

| Title: King's Anti-Sicilians for Black |
| Sub-title: A Black Repertoire to Complete King’s Kalashnikov |
| By (author): Daniel King |
| ISBN10-13: 9083434982 : 9789083434988 |
| This opening manual completes the Black repertoire against the Sicilian that uses the Kalashnikov as the main line. When possible, Black will opt for the adventurous moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e5, covered in the book Kingâ s Kalashnikov. But everyone playing 1... c5 has to be ready when White chooses to avoid the Open Sicilian. In this volume King gives you the answer to all of the so-called Anti-Sicilians, including the Rossolimo, the Alapin and the Grand Prix Attack. All other, less frequently played variations such as the Morra and the Wing Gambit, are covered as well. Grandmaster Daniel King has extensive experience playing the Sicilian, having done so for over forty years. His clear explanations and practical approach will help you achieve your own successes with the Sicilian. Additionally, there is a selection of annotated model games by grandmasters such as Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, and Daniel King, which demonstrate how the recommendations are applied in real games. The two volumes provide a compact and versatile repertoire for Black, focusing on the most important lines, and always aiming for dynamic middlegame play. |

| Title: 100 Endgame Studies You Must Know |
| Sub-title: Chess Artistry to Enjoy and Learn From |
| By (author): Jan Timman |
| ISBN10-13: 9083406415 : 9789083406411 |
| Perhaps the greatest beauty in chess can be found in endgame studies. Delightful twists and turns on the board are combined into true works of art. In studies, chess is distilled into its purest form, with all pieces making only the most essential moves. Endgame studies are also useful exercises for practical chess players, as they show patterns, improve calculation, and inspire out-of-the-box thinking. Grandmaster Jan Timman has been fascinated by endgame studies since his youth. The artistry and perfection have always appealed to him. In recent years his focus has shifted from practical chess to composing endgame studies, and many of his compositions have won awards. Timman wrote about composing in The Art of the Endgame (New In Chess, Revised Edition 2023). In new book Timman presents the one hundred greatest endgame studies. In five chapters he guides you through masterpieces of increasing difficulty, beginning with elementary endings such as the RĂ©ti and Lasker manoeuvres. The studies include themes such as minor) promotion, Zugzwang and domination, all beautifully illustrated and clearly explained. By the time you reach the final chapter with the most complicated examples, you will be amazed at the myriad possibilities of chess and inspired to add more finesse to your own endgame play. |
