Il y a déjà plusieurs semaines que vous avez quitté la terre ferme. Vous êtes à la tête d'une expédition ayant pour mission de coloniser l'île de Catane. Les ouvrages des Explorateurs décrivent cette île comme un paradis où abondent toutes les richesses nécessaires pour y construire de prospères cités.

Suite à un long et pénible périple votre navire atteint enfin les côtes de l'île. Mais soudain, vous constatez de votre longue-vue que vous n'êtes pas seul ! D'autres navires autour de l'île débarquent des hordes de colons.

Les premières colonies fondées croissent rapidement. L'espace devient de plus en plus rare et les échanges commerciaux de plus en plus nécessaires. Vous devrez donc utiliser à profit vos talents de négociateur ! Une grande aventure vous attend.

Deviendrez-vous le premier souverain de Catane?

History: In the 1950s and 1960s the Zagreb chess set was one of the most popular chess sets used at the major international chess tournaments. It gained popularity when it was used in the World Championship Candidates Match that was held in Bied, Zagreb in 1959. Design & Quality:   Appropriately weighted and felted these pieces are very stable on board and a pleasure to touch and feel, size of king is 8,8 cm.  For this set we choose a classical walnut board of 50 cm with square of 5 cm.

Turbo-Charge Your Tactics 1 is essentially a chess puzzle book, but not a typical one. It’s a multi-year effort by GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko and his world-renowned trainer IM Vladimir Grabinsky to introduce you to the world of “unnatural” tactical moves.

Presenting examples of extreme beauty, no matter where they come from – be it online bullet or world-class grandmaster praxis – this book will cure your “selective blindness” by destroying the false notion of chess principles being a set of rules, instead of helpful guidelines. Most chess games are decided by tactics, so solving tactical puzzles is the most effective path to improvement. hardcover 328 pages

Par déductions successives et en plaçant les personnages dans l'ombre ou dans la lumière, le joueur doit trouver sous quelle identité se dissimule l'infâme Jack et tenter de la capturer.
