Lars Bo Hansen
Gambit
Traditionally, chess games have been divided into three stages - opening,
middlegame and endgame - and general principles presented for how to
handle each stage. All chess-players will be well aware that these principles
all too frequently fail to help in their selection of the best move.
In this important work, Lars Bo Hansen, grandmaster and professional educator,
presents chess as a game of five phases, and explains the do's and don'ts in each:
* the opening * the transition to the early middlegame * the middlegame * strategic
endgames * technical endgames
With a wealth of examples from both his own practice and that of his colleagues,
Hansen discusses the typical mistakes and pitfalls, and shows how to handle the
subtleties unique to each stage. He also advises on how to work on your chess in
each aspect of the game. Of special value is his explanation of how to study typical
middlegames, and that middlegame preparation - a neglected area for most players
- is both possible and necessary.
Lars Bo Hansen is a well-known grandmaster from Denmark. He has won the Danish
Championship on two occasions, and represented his country in four olympiads, winning
a bronze medal for his individual performance in 1990. His many tournament victories
include first prize in the strong Copenhagen Open in both 1997 and 2000. Away from the
board, he teaches and lectures on business studies, with a particular focus on marketing,
organization and strategy.
