Chess textbook 1946-1990

  • book

    Dieses Buch bringt 150 Schachstudien aus der Werkstatt des Verfassers und einen Beitrag zur Theorie des Studien-Schachs. Die gebotenen Aufgaben stellen eine Auswahl aus den mehr als 300 bisher in verschiedenen Tageszeitungen des In- und Auslandes, in der „österreichischen Schachzeitung“, im „Schach-Magazin“ und vor allem in der „Deutschen Schachzeitung“ erstmalig veröffentlichten Studien dar. Arbeiten, deren Ursprünglichkeit dem Autor nunmehr zweifelhaft erscheint oder deren Inhalt ihn nicht mehr befriedigt, wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Und wäre der Verfasser nicht auf den Widerstand befreundeter Experten gestoßen, er hätte so manche Aufgabe von der Wiederveröffentlichung gleichfalls ausgeschlossen. An den ausgewählten Studien wurden, wo erforderlich, Änderungen, Erweiterungen und auch Richtigstellungen vorgenommen. Psychologische Gründe machten es ratsam, mit wenigen Ausnahmen auf die Wiedergabe allzu weitläufiger Aufgaben zu verzichten und in einer gewissen Ausgewogenheit neben schwieriger lösbaren Studien auch leichtere zu bringen und damit der Erfahrungstatsache Rechnung zu tragen, dass der überwiegende Teil der Löser von sehr schwierigen und reichlich verzweigten Aufgaben nicht angezogen wird. Weiter wurde die persönliche Vorliege des Autors für Turmspiele einigermaßen gezügelt und überhaupt manches versucht, Einseitigkeit zu vermeiden
