Description
|
|
|
|
Former U.S. chess speed champion Bill Robertie here explains how to use rooks, queens, and pawns to close down a game and checkmate your opponent, and how to convert drawn or lost positions into victories. With descriptions for each turn of play, Robertie lists the combinations of pieces needed for a mate and provides strategies in specific situations of rook versus pawns, a queen and a pawn versus a queen, a queen versus two rooks, and other combinations. He also tells how to translate middlegame advantages into victories, how to use the king as a weapon, clear the way for rook mates, and recognize tactical combinations.
