Chess: Magic in Black and White

Description

During his long career as a chess player and coach, Grandmaster Axel Smith concluded that understanding color complexes is one of the key differences between strong and weak players. After many years of giving lectures and preparing training material for his students, Smith developed a course on the subject, which this book presents in a systematic way.

The award-winning author divides color complexes into several subtopics, such as blockades, opposite-colored bishops, and exchange sacrifices, with carefully selected exercises to test and reinforce the reader’s new understanding.

Use the magic of black and white to improve your chess strength!

Grandmaster Axel Smith is an award-winning author of several publications: Pump Up Your Rating, e3 Poison, and The Woodpecker Method, all enthusiastically received by readers and critics. He achieved the title of Grandmaster as an adult, undoubtedly thanks to his disciplined training methods.
