Description

This is Part III of my winning games against the top engines. This part features handicap wins. Most handicaps consist of 1 or 2 pawns material on average, factoring in relevant positional terms too. Though, that size of material advantage would include the widest selection of different start positions. Handicap games are definitely the most fun, especially to play, but I guess also to follow, as they feature imbalanced, tactically rich play, from the very first moves. For precisely the same reason, they are very good for training your tactics. Most of the credit for this volume goes to GM Larry Kaufman of the Komodo team. Whenever Komodo would play a match against some human, and Larry would post about the match on Talkchess forum, I would try my hand with the very same handicaps against the top engines. As said, handicap games are one of the greatest fun events possible in chess, so don't miss this book. Lyudmil Tsvetkov is a political scientist, former career diplomat, Bulgarian candidate master of chess since 1998 and one of the main Stockfish contributors. In the last 5 years, he has completely focused on chess analysis and the investigation of the deeper sides of chess knowledge.
