Kuljasevic - Beyond material

In het mix werkboek staan 62 pagina's met opgaven, liefst 62x12=648-16 (tekeningen e.d) = 728 opgaven.

De thema's zijn bekend uit Stap 5 en Stap 5 plus en de lagere stappen. Voor de plusboeken waren er tot dusver geen gemixte oefeningen. Voor alle oefeningen is er de simpele opdracht: Speel de beste zet. Net als in een echte partij weet je niet of je kunt winnen of je moet verdedigen. Welke aanvalsdoelen zijn er? Wat dreigt de tegenstander? Is het tijd om te remise te maken? Kortom, van alles wat.
Twee soorten opgaven zijn anders: er is op elke bladzijde een meerkeuzevraag en een opgave met een variant onder het bord die je moet aanvullen. Alleen op de laatste 8 bladzijden staat het thema aangegeven: mat in twee problemen.

The Russian Boris Spassky was the perfect gentleman. He was a chess genius who became World Champion in 1969. But he was also gracious in defeat after he lost his title to the American Bobby Fischer in 1972 in the Match of the Century. This biography includes fifty of Spassky’s best games, annotated by former Russian champion Alexey Bezgodov, and a biographical sketch of a few dozen pages, written by Dmitry Aleynikov, the Director of the Chess Museum in Moscow. Spassky was born in St. Petersburg in 1937; he moved to France in 1976 and returned to Russia in 2010. On his road to the World Championship, he defeated all his contemporaries convincingly in matches, including Paul Keres, Efim Geller, Mikhail Tal, Bent Larsen and Viktor Korchnoi. He lost his first match for the ultimate title against Tigran Petrosian but won in his second attempt in 1969. With his all-round style, fighting spirit and psychological insights, he could beat anybody anytime and, for example, won at least two games versus six other World Champions: Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov. 279 pages
