{"product_id":"the-bishop-pair-power-of-the-sun","title":"Bishop Pair - Power of the Sun","description":"Endgame theory teaches us two fundamental issues: First, how to extract the\nmaximum from a basic theoretical position with little material, where the experts\n(from practice comprising thousands of games) have reached definite conclusions.\nSecond, the way in which we can handle an endgame, depending on the material\nremaining on the board, and the ideas and plans we should employ.\nThis second issue is significantly more difficult to master because, apart from\nmaking full use of the first one (we must be aware of the possible outcomes of the\nendgame in question) it is greatly influenced by our experience and understanding,\nwhich are basically derived from the images and impressions we have from related\npositions. A primary role is played here by the effort we have invested in studying.\nIn middlegame theory, things are even tougher. We are obliged to study various\ntypes of positions with specific strategic and tactical attributes, so as to understand\nthe underlying ideas and be able to employ them ourselves in similar situations.\nWhile players have studied these topics and acquired knowledge, it is\nthe application of this knowledge in practice that helps differentiate between them.\nChess is not a simple game.\nThe purpose of this series is to introduce the reader to advanced training concepts,\nusing the same methods of presentation and instruction that were taught to great\nplayers by famous trainers that they have worked with.\nThe series will continue with the topic of “the Bishop Pair”, the first volume handled 'bishop endings' and we will examine how to\nhandle this “power of the sun” coupling.","brand":"Thinkers Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985681473880,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789464201499_a936d1d0-2530-45bc-a952-8c7cc7b36cf0.jpg?v=1765907136","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-bishop-pair-power-of-the-sun","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
