Chess is developing faster now than ever before in history. The appearance of computers in the "chess gym" has not only affected opening theory, but has also changed the way players think. In the past many positions would have been rejected "on principle" as impossible to defend, and even the best players would shy away from capturing material if it meant that they would have to face a difficult defence.
This attitude has changed and today's top players are not afraid of walking a very fine line in defence. In this book Jacob Aagaard gives practical advice on various methods of defence, and offers the reader the chance to test and train his ability with 200 challenging examples.
While not for the faint-hearted, this book will help the reader greatly improve in this vital part of the game.

Jacob Aagaard is one of the most popular chess writers today, but is also a competitive player. His best results so far are scoring 3 GM norms in 2004.

Jacob Aagaard gründete Quality Chess im Jahr 2004 zusammen mit Ari Ziegler und John Shaw. Inzwihat der Verlag durch die Herhochwertiger Bücher seinem Namen alle Ehre gemacht.
Wir erinnern etwa an 'Learn from the Legends - Chess Champions at their Best' von Mihail Marin. Die vorliegende Neuerscheinung stammt von Jacob Aagaard selbst. Er widmet sich hier dem komplexen Thema der Verteidigung im Schach.
In den ersten beiden Kapiteln erläutert er die Methoden, die dem Verteidiger zur Verfügung stehen, zum Beispiel Zwischenzüge, Opfer, ewiges Schach, Festungsbau und Abin ein haltbares Endspiel.
Das Gelernte kann nun anhand von 200 Übungsaufgaben vertieft werden.
Nach einer 'Aufwärmphase' mit 30 Beispielen folgen die weiteren Aufnach Schwierigkeitsgrad geDie Problemstellung gestets anhand eines Diagramms versehen mit einer kurzen Situations
Den Hauptteil des Buches bilden die sehr ausführlichen Lösungen. Aagaard bereitet es hierbei sichtlich Vergnügen, dem Leser die oft phanMöglichkeiten aufzuzeidie in der Stellung verborgen sind.
Das Niveau des Buches ist sehr hoch. Der geübte Vereinsspieler wird schon bei der ersten Stufe gefordert und am Ende dürften auch Meister ihre Schwierigkeiten bekommen.
Ein oberflächliches Lesen des Buist nicht möglich. Wer davon profitieren möchte, muss Zeit und Arbeit investieren, die Mühe wird sich aber lohnen. Englische Sprachsollten vorhanden sein.
