We've updated the cover of ""Winning Chess Strategies"" so that the Microsoft Press ""RM"" Chess series has a more cohesive and dynamic look. This is the third book in the Chess series by International Grand Master Yasser Seirawan, with Jeremy Silman. In chess, there is a class of moves that are appropriate for a given situation, and in fact, true masters of chess all tend to make the same type of move in a given circumstance, although variation exists in the details of the actual move. ""Winning Chess Strategies"" teaches that although no one move is best in any given situation, the type of move to use is crucial. As most chess players know, learning strategy is key before moving to the details of tactics.

Seirawan, an award-winning chess grand master and author of bestselling titles, offers a complete overview of proven chess principles that teach players how to deploy pieces using right moves at the right time.

Learn to Win at Chess from World Champion Susan PolgarSusan Polgar, 4-time World Chess Champion, became a living legend by following the methods taught by her father, Laszlo Polgar, the famous Hungarian chess coach. In A World Champion's Guide to Chess, Susan reveals these masterful tactics and techniques to players of all ages. With coauthor Paul Truong, an 11-time National Champion, she begins with the basics of understanding how the pieces move and leads the reader through checkmate and defense, pawn promotion, and opening and endgame patterns. Accompanying the lessons are personal glimpses into Susan's famous career, including her story of becoming the first female Grandmaster, the highest title in chess.

Each of these 125 problems has won top prize in one of the many chess competitions held throughout the world-and they will help hone players' skills so that even beginners can learn to become winners too. As with all orthodox chess conundrums, the ones collected here stipulate that White makes the first move, and must checkmate Black in a specified number of moves no matter what Black does. This specification is inviolable: players can neither make more moves nor fewer, and each problem has only one correct key. A section offers hints for the really, truly stumped. But beware: while most hints provide instant help, some cryptic ones require a little extra thinking.

For two-semester or three-quarter courses in General Chemistry. McMurry/Fay makes the right connections in general chemistry topically, visually, and quantitatively.

Topic Connections, Conceptual and Quantitative parallel presentation, and Text-Graphic Integration Objects make these critical connections clear and visible, so students see the chemistry the first time.
