Some of the problems in it may seem absurdly simple to experienced chessplayers or coaches. But that isn’t the case — the simplicity of our problems is superficial. If the required attention hasn't been paid in the past to the development of these kinds of simple prob- lems, that highlights the fact that there are still many blank spots in the matter of how to begin teaching the game of chess. This has to do with the fact that, in every country in the world, these problem books are written by strong practical players, for whom certain subjects seem too simple to be worth any attention at all. Such authors don’t take into account the fact that the earliest stage of instruction deserves closer attention. AAs a result, in previously published problem collections, a large stratum of useful chess exercises has remained unrevealed. The main goal of our series of problem books is to correct this omission. In order for the beginning chessplayer to learn to play chess well later on, the coach should first help him or her to establish a solid foundation. To this end, beginning play- ers should frst get the feel of the possibilities of each piece separately, and also famil- iarize themselves with the comparative strengths of the pieces. Our series of thematic exercises with a small number of pieces on the board serves this purpos Problem books are written by strong practical players for whom certain subjects seem too simple, leaving many useful chess exercises unrevealed At the same time problems from the so-called “pre-checkmate” period play a very important role in the initial stage of instruction. Very often there aren't even kings in these diagrams, such that in order to win you simply have to eliminate or immobilize all your opponent's pawns or pieces (as in checkers ~ play for a wipeout). The point of these exercises isn’t to deliver mate, but to acquire various chess skills, to master the simplest methods of attacking and defending. The purpose is to teach the student to see the chess board, to find hidden threats and connections between different pieces, and to understand how to coordinate the pieces to achieve one goal or another. By using our problem book, in the course of initial study beginning chessplayers can: 1) familiarize themselves with the possibilities and comparative strengths of each piece; 2) learn to attack one piece with another piece; 3) learn how to restrict the mobil- 5ity of their opponents’ pieces; 4) learn to see guarded and unguarded pieces on the board; 5) learn to deliver double attacks; 6) learn to find defensive moves; 7) learn to use pins for atack and defense; 8) learn to choose the best capture from several possibilities: 9) master the typical methods of fighting with the various pieces against pawns; 10) learn to see opportunities to announce check in any position; and 11) completely master the rules of the game. In general, in order to achieve success in chess three stages of instruction need to be covered thoroughly: 1) the “pre-checkmate” stage — here, students should develop a feel for the “pre-checkmate” harmony of the pieces in both attack and defense; 2) the stage of giving mate in one here students should get a feel for the harmony of the pieces when checkmating; 3) the checkmate stage — here students should get a feel for the harmony of the pieces when using a mate threat. Having said that, the younger the student, the longer the first two stages should last This frst problem book allows us to work through the first (‘pre-checkmate”) stage, while the second and third books focus on working through the second stage (giving mate in one). Subsequent collections will help students and coaches to work through the third (mating) stage.Hee eae Ree e ade The Rook Capturing White to move: Can White take Black's rook? ee eae ‘ls "i Ca oa : ba le aaa 4 2a ea pectoae 2 ee eo ow ‘ a ee ‘Ee o"a"a"a "am 1, 6 aaa ‘ame no ee See “ne i... ie ee ie oe abedefgh abedefgh 3 4 Zaz : ian ao ae a a ‘i em a ee i i bee 2288 ‘ene oe ‘a I), nen ne abedefgh 5 abedefgh 6Hee eae Hee eae The Rook Pieces under attack Black to move: Take one of the white rooks.
