Schach gespielt wird nicht nur in Wirklichkeit, es wird auch in erfundenen Geschichten gespielt. Literarische Schachpartien gibt es seit vielen Jahrhunderten. Sie haben deutliche Spuren in der europäischen Literatur hinterlassen. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes stehen fünf literarische Texte, sogenannte Schach-Poeme, die von Schachpartien handeln. Sie werden hier erstmals ausführlich vorgestellt und in ihrem Zusammenhang von einem professionellen Literaturwissenschaftler erklärt. Das Besondere an der Darstellung ist Matthias Aumüllers Versuch, wissenschaftlich seriöse Forschungsergebnisse auf eine auch Nicht-Philologen ansprechende, unterhaltsame Art und Weise zu präsentieren. |

A Chess Biography of Vsevolod Rauzer Vsevolod Rauzer, born in Kiev in 1908, was one of the world’s leading chess opening theoreticians and thinkers in the 1930s. As a player, he was an uncompromising attacker, trying to avoid draws as well as to prove that 1.e4 wins by force. According to Mikhail Botvinnik, “His opening research…with linked middlegame plans, gives us every reason to place V. Rauzer among the founders of the Soviet chess school.” Awarded the Master of Sport title in 1929, Rauzer’s best tournament performances included joint eighth place in the 1931 Soviet Championship, sixth in 1933 and eighth in 1937. According to Chessmetrics, he was ranked in the world’s top 30 for several years. |

A Photobook by Fred Lucas Chess has fascinated people for centuries. But what exactly is chess? Is it a sport, a science, or an art? Well, people think differently about that. Some Grandmasters may say it’s a sport, while others think it’s an art. Despite the individual nature of the game, we have always found it striking that chess is also a social activity. |

Learn to identify and execute better plans In the phase of the game, the endgame, strange things happen. Material advantages don’t bring home the expected fruits, wins vanish, draws slip away, and frustrations build. Why is it that when things are supposed to be simpler, they become slippery and nearly impossible to handle with any kind of accuracy? And why do players such as Rubinstein, Capablanca, Andersson, Karpov, and Carlsen seem able to drum up resources out of nothing, make the lives of their opponents miserable, and win things that looked drawn and draw things that looked lost? |

Are you a parent of a junior chess player who feels that because you don’t know how to play chess, you can’t help your child? Or are you an adult or junior chess player who has taken private chess lessons for years, but feels you haven’t been progressing? In both cases, there can be a lot of reliance on a chess coach who has been given free rein with lesson content and direction. They probably have some sort of plan but it is likely to be a plan used for all their students. This is not ideal. More important is a well-thought out, individualized plan, that focuses on a specific player’s unique strengths and weaknesses. Formulating such a plan is crucial for making improvements. |
