50 Mistakes You Should Know

It is not the quality of your best moves that wins you games; it is the quality of your worst moves. The quickest way to improve your chess skills is to raise the bar.

The Spanish grandmaster and coach Jesus de la Villa has proven with his best-seller 100 Endgames You Must Know that he understands exactly what a chess student needs. Building on his experience as a writer and as a coach for juniors, he has carefully selected the 50 Mistakes every player should be aware of – so the mistake can be avoided.

De la Villa loves this quote from the American First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt: ‘Learn from the errors of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.’

For over a decade, De la Villa has closely observed the Spanish junior championships, noting the recurring errors that players make. He has taken notes, classified these errors, and created training tasks based on them. From this wealth of chess exercises, he has selected the most impactful and has added recommendations how to correct the error.

Your performance will improve dramatically because this book offers you:

- 50 important chess lessons
- detailed and lively explanations
- clear summaries and recommendations
- dozens of tests.

Eigentlich wollte ich dieses Buch nur schnell durchblättern, doch der Inhalt hat mich sofort gepackt. Dieses Buch ist einfach hervorragend! Wir erleben derzeit so viele großartige Schachveröffentlichungen, dass man fast denken könnte, ich sei Handelsvertreter des Verlags. Aber hier ist die Begeisterung echt: So ein tolles Buch! Es hätte ruhig schon viel früher erscheinen dürfen. Eine echte Empfehlung.
Schon das erste Kapitel macht klar, wie wertvoll dieses Buch ist:
Chapter 1 – Exchanging Pieces

·Error 1 – Exchanging queens with a material advantage
·Error 2 – Exchanging queens and abandoning the attack

·Error 3 – Exchanging a more active piece for a less active one

·Error 4 – Exchanging pieces and worsening the structure

·Error 5 – Exchanging unfavourably with miscellaneous material

·Error 6 – Exchanging major pieces in positions with opposite-coloured bishops

·Error 7 – Simplifying to an endgame which is not winning

·Error 8 – Rejecting favourable exchanges
Dieses Buch ist eine großartige Ressource für Spieler, die ihre Fehler besser verstehen und aus ihnen lernen wollen. Jede Seite ist ein Gewinn, und die klaren Erklärungen und Beispiele machen es zu einer wertvollen Hilfe für ambitionierte Schachspieler. Sehr empfehlenswert!
