Description
Book SynopsisThe Royal Chess Couple in Action introduces the dominant leadership of the royal game. The King is its most significant piece while the Queen is its mightiest one. Following a brief historical overview the reader is met with the wealth of tactical abilities characterizing the main heroes, their strengths and weaknesses in attack and defence, while acting on their own or collaborating with other pieces. The authors, both are experienced players and tutors, offer to the improving player a selection of almost 500 instructive positions he may choose to use for training, just as fun read…or both!
Trade ReviewThe Royal Chess Couple in Action (Thinkers Publishing 2020, 384 pages, paperback) by International Masters Hans Bohm and Yochanan Afek is an original work that seeks to show the powers of the two most important pieces through over the board examples and endgame studies. The Royal Chess Couple in Action is a good choice for those rated 2000 on up looking to increase their understanding in a pleasurable way. One can easily imagine using these books to develop a daily habit of playing over a game and solving a study while drinking one’s beverage of choice. IM John Donaldson August 2020.
