Jeremy Silman 曾经获得美国青少年的全国冠军，写的书也非常浅显易懂，适合不同等级的棋手和爱好者，介绍了 tactics 和 组合，还介绍了一些伟大的 tactician，对于初学者来说，tactics更容易入门学习，而且 tactician 的对局更加精彩，好看，唯一的遗憾是书中的棋局有些模糊不清，不过很多可以在 chessgames.com 找到，

Tactics

Tactics are maneuvers that take advantage of short-term opportunities.
Google翻译：策略是利用短期机会的策略。

Combinations

A combination is a sacrifice combined with aforced sequence of moves, which exploits specific peculiarities of the position in the hope of attaining a certain goal.
Google 翻译：
组合是一种牺牲，加上一系列强制性的动作，这些动作利用了特定的位置特质，以期实现某个目标。

Recognizing Tactics and Combinations 识别Tactics 和 Combinations

Grandmaster YuriAverbakh and International MasterJeremy Silman, have written extensively on tactics and combinations.Averbakh's _Tactics for the Advanced Player_ (Sporverlag Berlin, 1986) and Silman's _Howto Reassess YourChess_ (DavenportThinkers' Press, 1986), suggest useful shortcuts that make it easier to recognize situations where tactics and combinations might exist Let's look at some of these authors' theories.

Averbakh's Rules of Recognition

Averbakh considers that almost all combinations are based in some way on a double attack: 双击

If we regard the term "double attack" in a broader sense than has been done up to now by theoreticians, namely not merely as a two-pronged attack but as a combination of attacks and threats, we notice that the double attack in one form or another is the basis of most tactical operations.
At first I didn't want to agree with such a simplified view, but the more I thought about it, the more sensible Averbakh's theory sounded. The double attack is tremendously important, and I recommend that you spend a good deal of time going over the examples ofdouble attacks in ChapterTwo. Once you have mastered the material there and have moved on, you will notice that the combinations in later chapters also involve double attacks, which seems to confirm Averbakh's theory.

Silman's Rules of Recognition

Silman insists that combinations cannot exist without one or more of the following present: 没有以下一个或多个情况，不会有 combinations

• A weakened (or open) King. 一个弱的或开放的王 When a King has poor pawn cover, has no defenders, or is otherwise weak, a combination is prob ably in the works.
• Undefended pieces (not pawns). **未受保护的子 **Any unguarded piece is sub ject to destruction by a double attack or fork.
• Inadequately guarded pieces. 未受充分保护的子 Such a piece appears to be safe, but a sudden double attack can place the piece in jeopardy by adding another attacker.

The Double Attack

• Discovered attacks
• Forks
• Attacks by a pawn

Discovered Attacks

A discovered attack is essentially an ambush 伏击. Here's a general definition:
A Queen, Rook, or Bishop lies in wait so that it can attack when another piece or pawn ofits own color moves out ofits way.

Discovered Checks

The most effective type of discovered attack involves checking the enemy King.

One of the guiding strategic principles of chess is

Whenyou are ahead in material, it is a good idea to make even trades.
如果你子力上有优势，等价的兑子是个好主意。

_Don't leave your stuff unprotected. It might get chopped off!_

Double Checks

自己找一些题来测试一下，书中的图片太模糊。

Forks

Knight Forks

Knight can never attack squares of two different colors at the same time. 骑士不能一次攻击两个不同的颜色子力。
A fork that attacks the King and the Queen is called a royal fork
Knight phobic 骑士恐惧。

Bishop Forks

Rook Forks

Queen Forks

King Forks

Forks as Combinations

大部分国际象棋的技能是模式识别，基本的tactics和它的变化你能掌握，再加上灵活的组合。就能击败对手。
A large part of chess skill is pattern recognition, and as you become more ac quainted with the basic tactical forms, you'll find it easier to create combina tions. The trick is to isolate and understand the various types oftactics. Only then will you be able to put them all together to razzle-dazzle your stunned opponent.

This game teaches an important lesson:

Ne v e r c h e c k j u s t b e c a u s e y o u c a n . B e s u re t h a t y o u g a i n fro m m a k i n g
a check, not your opponent.

Double Attacks by a Pawn

Pawn Forks

Discovered Attacks with Pawns

Chapter Three

The Pin

When you attack a piece that your opponent cannot move without losing a different piece of greater value, you are pinning the first piece. When the piece of greater value is the King, this tactic is called an absolute pin; when it is not the King, the tactic is called a relative pin.

The pin is one of the most common tactics used in chess, so you should study it very carefully. Bear in mind that any piece is vulnerable to a pin, but only a Queen. Bishop. or Rook can do the pinning-a King, Knight, or pawn can only play the victim.

Absolute Pins

The moral:
Look carefully beforeyou take any “free" gifts from your opponent. He may have prepared a clever trap!

Relative Pins

• it's clear that the hold of the relative pin cannot be taken for granted. Never assume that the pinned piece won't move.
• The relative pin is most successful when an important piece is immedi ately threatened.
• Another advantage of the pinning tactic comes about when the defending player is unable to break the pin.
• when a pin is working, look for ways to increase the pressure on the target. You may not be able to find any, but the possibility should always be considered.

Chapter Four The Skewer 用串肉扦串

Askewer has been likened to a pin in reverse. With a pin, the attacker's objective is to win the pinned piece or the more valuable piece behind it With a skewer, the attacker's objective is to
threaten a valuable piece so that it is forced to move, allowing the capture of a piece behind it

Chapter Five King Tactics and Combinations

So we have a moral here:
If you are in real trouble but notice thatyour King has no moves, cheer up and lookfor a stalemate!
如果对局陷入真实的麻烦，想办法无棋可动而和棋。
换个方向，如果你对局优势明显，还是要提高警惕，避免对手无棋可动而和棋。
This moral has a flip side:
Ifyou are mashing your opponent and expect him to resign at any moment, don'tfall asleep! Be vigilant, or you might be surprised by a game-saving stalemate.

Perpetual Check 重复将军

重复3次同样的将军可以声明和棋。
exact same positions three times, the game is called a three time repetition of position and is declared a draw.

Destroying the King’s Cover

当国王只有很少的地方可走，是非常脆弱的。
When your King is stalemated or has few moves available, a warning light should start flashing in your head. A King with limited ability to move is very vulnerable, because any check could easily result in checkmate.

The moral is: 让兵掩护国王，但也要给国王空间。

Try to keep the pawn cover infront of your King intact and be sure your King has room to breathe.

Back Rank Checkmate

Chapter Six Deflection 偏离

Battery on an Open File or Diagonal 开放线和斜线上的排炮

将两只车或一象一后放到相同的线上，将对对手沉重的打击。 称为 creating a battery，排炮

Playing Down an Open File

When both players have pawns on the same file, the file is closed. When no pawns are on a file, the file is open. And when only one player's pawn is on a file, the file is half-open.
7th rank is usually the Rook's stron gest position and is sometimes referred to as the "refreshment rank." A Rook on the 7th rank refreshes itself by munching on enemy pawns while simultaneously eyeing the enemy King.
在第七行的车是最强的，吃对方的兵，威胁对方的王。

两只车在第七行称为“第七行的猪”

As strong as a Rook on the 7th rank is, doubled Rooks on the 7th are even stronger. Often called pigs on the 7th,

The domination of files by dou bling Rooks on them is considered a strategy rather than a tactic. A Russian children's rhyme goes:

It's very pradical butjust not tactical!

Chapter 8 The Power of Pawns 兵的力量

The legendary Grandmaster Aaron Nimzovich called this activity

“the pawn's lust to expand."

Chapter 9 The Decoy 诱饵

为了让对方的棋子到某个位置，用自己的棋子引诱或迫使对方达到的方式，比如你的马可以将军，你就要等待对方的棋子到马可以捉双将军时候再将军。

Chapter 10 Clearance Sacrifice 清除牺牲

我们知道每个子力都有价值，但有时为了到达某个位置吃对方的子，或者将军，先放弃掉自己的子力，来达到目的。

Chapter 11 X-Ray and windmill

无效的保护和大风车

Chapter 12 Zwischenzug

Zwischenzug is a Gennan word that means an in-between move. In American parlance, zwischenzug has become intermezzo (intermediate) , zwishy, and the like.
Well, zwischenzugs are the unexpected retorts of chess. Usually
(but not always) , zwischenzugs are checks.

Chapter 13 Other Kinds of Draws

没有人能一直赢，当情况变糟时候，和棋也不错。
The late American Grandmaster Sammy Reshevsky gave this simple advice about the best attitude to take in a seemingly hopeless situation:
Sit tight and hope for a blunder.

Chapter 15 Paul Morphy

(1837-1884)

That year-1857-it
so happened that the American Chess Congress was held in New York. Morphy's stunning victory at the Congress was followed by a triumphant European tour, culminating in his match win over Anderssen. Morphy returned to the United States in 1859 universally acclaimed as the best player in the world. Sadly, he played no serious chess for the rest of his life and was beset by mental problems in his later years.

Why was Morphy so much better at chess than everyone else? He was a great tactician, but no more so than Adolf Anderssen. What made him invincible was his understanding of some modern chess principles. He attacked only after he had developed all his forces, and he fought like a tiger for control of the center.

After losing to Morphy, Anderssen wrote:
He who plays with Morphy must abandon all hope of catching him in a trap, no matter how cunningly laid, but must assume that it is so clear to Morphy that there can be no question of a false step.

Alexander Alekhine

(1 892-1946)
Alekhine re
alized that tactical ability alone was
not enough to take him to the peak.
By tireless study, Alekhine mastered all phases of the game. He is in many respectstheprototypeofthemodemGrandmaster. Bythoroughlystudying openings and intensely analyzing his opponent's games, Alekhine broke a new trail to greatness that has been followed by many of today's profes sional chess players.
Not a very likeable man, Alekhine was a drunk and a Nazi sympathizer. Nevertheless, he achieved such a high playing level that many chess fans rank him with Capablanca, Lasker, Fischer, and Kasparov as one ofthe five greatest players who ever lived.

作者的话

An amazing game, and a far cry from the little combinations we are used to seeing from lesser mortals! Such tremendous tactical vision is extremely rare. If you soared like I did when, as a 14-year-old, I saw it for the frrst time, then recounting this great game has been a pleasure for us both. Like a beautiful painting, I have presented this work of art as something to matvel at and enjoy. If this book has helped you unlock the secrets of this combi nation and appreciate it just a little, then I am well pleased.

Mikhail Tal

(1936-1992)
reveled in tactical duels and complex combinations.

Botvinnik said:

I was surprised by his ability to figure out complex variations. Then the way he sets out the game; he was not interested in the objectivity of the position, whether it's better or worse, he only needed room for his pieces. All you do then is figure out variations which are extremely difficult. He was tactically outplaying me and I made mistakes:

Did Tal's coronation mean that a new era of attacking play was at hand?
Many players thought so, and some coaches went so far as to insist that
their students play ag and sacrifice whenever possible. As Tal put it

These poor young players must have breathed a sigh of relief when I lost the title back to Botvinnik (in 1961) . Now they could play calm positional chess again!
As we go to press with this book, we are stunned to learn of the death of Mikhail Tal at the age of 55. We are all the poorer for his loss. His games will be his everlasting memorial.(1992)
