Daily reading of such great chess books (amongst many other fine books not listed) will take the motivated student to master strength and beyond. Of course, the competitive player should make use of a database and current opening theory as well as play over a games collection of his favorite player(s)...John Cochrane, Johannes Zukertort, Daniel Harrwitz, Adolph Anderssen, Max Lange, Joseph Henry Blackburne, Mikhail Tchigorin, Harry Nelson Pillsbury, David Janowski, Richard Teichman, Karel Traxler, Rudolph Spielmann, Frank J. Marshall, Akiba Rubinstein, Rashid Nezhmetdinov, Kurt Richter, Paul Keres, Alexander Kotov, Alexander Tolush, David Bronstein, E.J. Diemer, Leonid Stein, Yeffim Geller, Dragolijub Velimirovic, Ljubomir Ljubojević etc. etc. etc. Some of the great attacking players in the game today include Vassily Ivanchuk, Alexei Shirov, Larry Christiansen, Alexander Morozevich, Judit Polgar, Emory Tate, Lev Aronian, Dmitry Andreikin, Hikaru Nakamura, Veselin Topalov, Anish Giri, Vugar Gashimov, Teimour Radjabov, Nikita Vitiugov, Richard Rapport, Baadur Jobava, Mamedyarov, Liviu Dieter Nisipeanu, Liren Deng, and others. First study the old masters, the romantics, then the Lasker and post-Lasker era, before the Soviets era that was interrupted by incomparable Robert J. Fischer.

The book list below generally does not include an individual games collection of a particular player except Alexander Alekhine, which gives the reader plenty of exposure to combinations and the play of the early grandmasters. Certainly one should select a games collection of Botvinnik, Smyslov, and/or Mikhail Tal!!!

Also, a strict limit was kept on opening manuals. The beginner should learn Fool's Mate, Scholar's Mate, Smothered Mate, Legall's Mate, Back Rank Mates, and common opening traps -- as well as the proper refutation. After gaining plenty of tactical and combinational experience and an understanding of the endgame, one should stop experimenting in the openings and get a repertoire book/CD of their choosing and begin to specialize. Wait a minute -- can you sweep your opponent off the board in the endgame? Never, ever neglect your endgame studies!! Someone with an OTB rating of 1800+ should start memorizing extended opening lines, but not until the fundamentals have been learned and reviewed with a steady study program, and not until being sure one approves of the opening. Memorizing specific opening lines without a broad study routine is foolish.

Incomplete list. Needs edditting.

Tarrasch and Lasker were chosen over Capablanca and Nimzowitsch; all are worthwhile. The writings and games of Machgielis "Max" Euwe would make another list by itself. Studies of any of the world champions and their challengers tend to be excellent. Reuben Fine's books on opening principles, the middlegame, endgame and games collections helped many an aspiring master (but some of his latter writings seem a bit far fetched at times).

-Herman Grooten, Attacking Chess for Club Players

An Effective Way to Learn Common Motifs
While many of the attacking themes are common, Grooten organizes them in a particularly useful way. In the �Exploiting Weaknesses� chapter, the author provides a list of methods of attack that are effective against each specific kingside weakness. Here�s an example for the �Weakness on h6�, referring to the opponent pushing a kingside pawn to h6: * The pawn march g2-g4-g5. White then threatens to open one or more files. * A piece sacrifice on the vulnerable h6-square. * The b1-h7 diagonal has been weakened by the push of the h-pawn. By setting up a battery with the queen and bishop on the b1-h7 diagonal, you provoke the move �g7-g6. Then you can exploit this second weakening (think of piece sacrifices on g6). * Putting a knight on f5 is often strong. This is because chasing away the knight with �g7-g6 often isn�t possible (as then White takes on h6 with the knight). * The �dog�s ear� on h6 can be made even more vulnerable by: - Sacrificing the exchange on f6;
- Planting a piece on f6;
- Sacrificing a piece on g7.
* The light squares, especially that on g6, can be made even more vulnerable by sacrifices on e6, f7, or g6. Then, each method of attack is discussed in detail with examples.

Misha Osipov

<H.T. Bland. On page 207 of the December 1929 American Chess Bulletin he exalted the challenger in that year's world championship match:

Bravo ‘Bogol', you've shown pluck.
One and all we wish you luck.
Gee, some thought you'd barged between
Other players who'd have been
Less likely straightaway to lose
Just as friend Alekhine might choose;
Undaunted, ‘Bogol', you went in
Believing you'd a chance to win.
Or failing that, to make a fight,
Which you are doing as we write.>

There once was a website named WTHarvey,
Where chess puzzles did daily delay,
The brain-teasers so tough,
They made us all huff and puff,
But solving them brought us great satisfaction today.

There once was a website named WTHarvey
Where chess puzzles were quite aplenty
With knight and rook and pawn
You'll sharpen your brain with a yawn
And become a master of chess entry

There once was a site for chess fun,
Wtharvey.com was the chosen one,
With puzzles galore,
It'll keep you in store,
For hours of brain-teasing, none done.

There once was a website named WTHarvey,
Where chess puzzles were posted daily,
You'd solve them with glee,
And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

Nevada: Genoa
Established in: 1851

Geoa was founded back in 1851 as a trading post and provisioning station meant to serve passing wagon trains. It was originally known as Mormon Station because the first settlers were Mormon, and was part of Utah. It was renamed Genoa in 1855 by Mormon leader Orson Hyde, who named it in honor of Christopher Columbus's birthplace of Genoa, Italy.

Genoa is a tiny town — according to its website, just 250 people live there.

The Kings of Chess: A History of Chess, Traced Through the Lives of Its Greatest Players by William Hartston William Hartson traces the development of the game from its Oriental origins to the present day through the lives of its greatest exponents - men like Howard Staunton, who transformed what had been a genteel pastime into a competitive science; the brilliant American Paul Morphy, who once played a dozen simultaneous games blindfold; the arrogant and certified insane Wilhelm Steinitz; the philosopher and mathematician Emanual Lasker; Bobby Fischer, perhaps the most brilliant and eccentric of them all; and many other highly gifted individuals. Hartson depicts all their colorful variety with a wealth of rare illustrations.

Meaning: A good aunt is a second mother

chess writer and poet Henry Thomas Bland.

Another example of his way with words is the start of ‘Internal Fires', a poem published on page 57 of the March 1930 American Chess Bulletin:

I used to play chess with the dearest old chap,
Whom naught could upset whatever might hap.
He'd oft lose a game he might well have won
But made no excuse for what he had done.
If a piece he o'erlooked and got it snapped up

He took it quite calmly and ne'er ‘cut up rough'.

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." ― William Faulkner

"Sometimes in life, and in chess, you must take one step back to take two steps forward." — IM Levy Rozman, GothamChess

So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

Old Russian Proverb: "Scythe over a stone." (Нашла коса на камень.) The force came over a stronger force.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." ― Leonardo da Vinci

<The Man In The Glass
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he's with you, clear to the end
And you've passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.

Easter, 1916 by William Butler Yeats
I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey
Eighteenth-century houses.
I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words,
And thought before I had done
Of a mocking tale or a gibe
To please a companion
Around the fire at the club,
Being certain that they and I
But lived where motley is worn:
All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.
What voice more sweet than hers
When, young and beautiful,
She rode to harriers?
This man had kept a school
And rode our winged horse;
This other his helper and friend
Was coming into his force;
He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed,
So daring and sweet his thought.
This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vainglorious lout.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy;
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter seem
Enchanted to a stone
To trouble the living stream.
The horse that comes from the road.
The rider, the birds that range
From cloud to tumbling cloud,
Minute by minute they change;
A shadow of cloud on the stream
Changes minute by minute;
A horse-hoof slides on the brim,
And a horse plashes within it;
The long-legged moor-hens dive,
And hens to moor-cocks call;
Minute by minute they live:
The stone's in the midst of all.

Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death;
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead;
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse -
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

I'm a Pirate
by Annette Wynne

I'm a pirate in the grass—
Hear ye people as ye pass;
I'm a pirate bad and bold,
Taking dandelion gold—
All my hands and ships can hold.
I'm a pirate—how the sun
Glitters on the gold I've won;
I shall buy you house and land
And a castle silver-grand
With the gold within my hand.

Chess has six different kinds of pieces, and they all interact in myriad ways. Your opponent's own pieces can often be used against him.

While the Queen is the strongest piece, it is the weakest defender; and while the pawn is the weakest piece, it is the strongest defender.

José Raúl Capablanca used the principle "Cutting off pieces from the scene of action."

The Night Sky's Serenade

In the night sky, the stars serenade,

Their light piercing the darkness, a blade.

The moon shines, in silver brocade.

Silent and serene, the night's parade,

A celestial spectacle, never to fade.

In the night sky, the stars serenade.

The universe's secrets, in the open laid,

Under the starlight, fears evade.

The moon shines, in silver brocade.

Night's symphony, a tranquil serenade,

In its rhythm, our dreams are made.

In the night sky, the stars serenade.

From dusk till dawn, in darkness wade,

Under the night sky, hopes cascade.

The moon shines, in silver brocade.

So, let us cherish the night's shade,

And in its beauty, let us wade.

In the night sky, the stars serenade,

The moon shines, in silver brocade.

<Fundamental Chess Principles according to CJS Purdy

On Combinations

One simultaneous double threat is better than a great many successive single threats. That is the main lesson of chess. A double threat is a combination of two threats. (pg. 31)

A combination (threat plus restraint or threat plus obstruction) may be called a "net". It is the most important kind of combination because every mate, without exception, is a "net". (pg. 32)

Watch out for pieces of limited mobility, especially pieces without retreat. Remember that one retreat may not be enough.(pg. 32 / 33)

On Tied Pieces

An important rule for avoiding a trap is this:
Where feasible, avoid using a piece to defend something that is attacked. Either protect the attaced unit with a pawn or move it away. (pg. 34)

A knight is the worst defender because he cannot possibly maintain the defense if forced to move. (pg. 34)

The best protector is a pawn - for three reasons:

There is no possibility of it being attacked by a unit of lesser value; It is a complete defense against any piece bigger than the one attacked; above all, a menial task is suited to it, whereas a piece used for defending one particular thing is wasting its talents. (pg. 35)

If you must use pieces to protect something, perhaps because it cannot move away, try to use one more than necessary! You are then free to moe any one of the protectors; not a single one is absolutely tied to its defensive task. (pg. 35)

On Position Play

Position play is the art of improving your position in small ways when no sound combination is possible. (pg. 40)

One can say that an endgame has arrived when neither side has more pieces than the equivalent of Queen plus pawn (with of course, the Kings, who are always with us). (pg. 41)

Combinations are of primary importance, position play of secondary importance. (pg. 41)

As Time Goes By
Songwriters: Max Steiner.

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do-or-die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do-or-die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Magnus Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster who is the former five-time World Chess Champion, reigning four-time World Rapid Chess Champion, and reigning six-time World Blitz Chess Champion. Arguably the fourth or fifth best chess player of all time (Morphy, Capablanca, Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, etc.), Carlsen has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011 and trails only Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest-rated player in the world. His peak rating of 2882 is the highest in history. Carlsen also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at the elite level in classical chess.

Matthew 13:24-43

*At some time or other tournament player learns a few opening lines, some tactical ideas, the most basic mating patterns, and a few elementary endgames. As he gets better and more experienced, he significantly adds to this knowledge. However, the one thing that just everybody has problem is planning. From Z to class E (under 1200) to Master, I get blank stares when asking what plan they had in mind in a particular position. Usually the choice of a plan (if they had any plan at all) is based on emotional rather than chess-specific considerations. By emotional, I mean that the typical player does what he feels like doing rather than the board "telling him what to do. This is somewhat cryptic sentence leads us to the following extremely important concept: if you want to be successful, you have to base your moves and plans on the specific imbalance-oriented criteria that exist in that given position, not your mood, taste and/or feared. Literally every non-master's games are filled with examples of "imbalance avoidance". Beginners, of course, simply don't know what imbalances are. Most experienced players have heard of the term and perhaps even tried to make use of them from time to time, however once the rush of battle takes over, isolated moves and raw aggression (or terror, if you find yourself defending) push any and all thoughts of imbalances out the door. In this case, chess becomes empty move-by-move, threat-by-threat (either making them or responding to them) affair. What is this mysterious allusion of the chessboard's desires (i.e., doing what the chess board wants you to do)? What is this "imbalance-oriented criteria? ― How To Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman

The Winds of Fate
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate, As we voyage along through the life:
Tis the set of a soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

"There are good ships, and there are wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, and may they always be." – Anonymous

"Once in a lobby of the Hall of Columns of the Trade Union Center in Moscow a group of masters were analyzing an ending. They could not find the right way to go about things and there was a lot of arguing about it. Suddenly Capablanca came into the room. He was always fond of walking about when it was his opponent's turn to move. Learning the reason for the dispute the Cuban bent down to the position, said 'Si, si,' and suddenly redistributed the pieces all over the board to show what the correct formation was for the side trying to win. I haven't exaggerated. Don Jose literally pushed the pieces around the board without making moves. He just put them in fresh positions where he thought they were needed. Suddenly everything became clear. The correct scheme of things had been set up and now the win was easy. We were delighted by Capablanca's mastery." ― Alexander Kotov
