Descripción

The Royal Chess Couple in Action is a combined attempt to introduce the various traits of the most significant

piece with the most powerful piece on the chessboard. Following a short historic review of the development and

metamorphoses of each piece over time, the reader is offered 240 positions (480 in total) from tournament

practice as well as from the magic world of chess composition. In each position a royal piece plays either a crucial

offensive or defensive role.

These positions are subdivided into 60 themes, four positions per theme, arranged by their increasing

difficulty. The reader may use the positions as training challenges to improve his understanding and playing skills

or just to enjoy playing through them. In either case he will learn to appreciate the characteristic qualities of each

piece alone and in collaboration with other pieces.

 

The 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!

Hans Böhm learned the basics of chess from his parents. He quickly became an International master during the
period that Spassky, Fischer and Karpov were dominating the chess world. Later, his professional career turned
to journalism, writing, commentating and becoming a prominent journalist hosting many several tv-shows. You
can call him the real Dutch ambassador of chess. In 1988 he became the world record holder, Guinness-book of

records, of a simultaneous display against 560 opponents, achieving a most remarkable positive score of 94%.

Yochanan Afek (1952) was born and grew up in Tel-Aviv and now lives in Amsterdam. In more than 50 years of
his professional chess career he has been a highly active player, trainer, journalist, organizer and a composer of
studies and problems. He is an over the board International master, a Grandmaster of chess composition and
International arbiter for both. His most memorable tournament victory is winning the Open Paris Championship
2002. He is the co-author of the highly acclaimed “Invisible Chess Moves” (Book of the Year 2011), “Extreme
Chess Tactics” (2017) and “Practical Chess Beauty” (2018).
