书籍简介

“我总是对那些不懂国际象棋的人感到一丝怜悯，就像我会同情那些对爱情一无所知的人一样。国际象棋，就像爱情，就像音乐，具有让人幸福的力量。我试图在这本书中展示这种幸福的途径。”——作者序言

虽然有许多国际象棋教学书籍可供选择，但很少有书籍能达到本书的崇高地位。由一位传奇的国际象棋大师撰写的书籍就更少了，他的教学技巧可以与国际象棋实力相媲美，使他能够在棋盘上击败对手。《国际象棋游戏》一经出版便大获成功，成为该游戏经久不衰的经典之一，被一些评论家认为是有史以来关于该游戏的颇好的书。

本书的成功部分源于塔拉什博士教授国际象棋的非传统方法：“我采用了完全不同的方法，类似于母亲教孩子说话的方法。我从一开始就和初学者下棋，向他展示简单的位置，并从中解释国际象棋的基本原理。这是直观的教学方法。我相信，通过这种方式，学生可以很容易地学会国际象棋。”

为了让初学者更容易上手，塔拉什博士还颠倒了通常教授国际象棋的顺序。相反，他从残局开始，因为“显然，对初学者来说，处理几个人比处理全部三十二人要容易得多。”接下来是本书的核心，即对中局的重要而广泛的讨论。通过分析数百场比赛中重要的部分，塔拉什对组合游戏进行了论述，这是国际象棋中他颇为知名的方面。此外，他讨论了游戏中复杂的部分——开局，并对许多具有历史意义的变体提供了启发性的评论。

《国际象棋游戏》配有 340 多张图表，包括 12 场完整的比赛，仍然是标准教材之一，仔细阅读它将提高任何玩家的比赛水平。

"I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy. The way to this happiness I have tried to show in this book." — Author's Preface

While there are many chess instruction books available, few have achieved the lofty stature of the present volume. Fewer still have been written by a legendary International Grandmaster whose pedagogical skills rivaled the chess prowess that enabled him to demolish opponents at the board. An immediate success upon its first publication, The Game of Chess has become one of the game's enduring classics, considered by some critics the finest book ever written on the game.

Part of its success stems from Dr. Tarrasch's unorthodox approach to teaching chess: "I employ quite another method and one analogous to that a mother uses to teach her baby to talk. I play with the beginner from the very start in that I put before him simple positions and from them explain the fundamentals of chess. It is the intuitive method of instruction. In this way the pupil learns chess quite easily, of that I am convinced."

To make it easier for the beginning student, Dr. Tarrasch also reverses the order in which the game is usually taught. Instead, he begins with the End-Game, since "obviously it is easier for the beginner to deal with a few men than the entire thirty-two." Then follows the heart of the book, an important and extensive discussion of the Middle Game. Analyzing the most important parts of hundreds of games, Tarrasch presents a comprehensive treatment of combination play, an aspect of chess for which he was especially renowned. Finally, he deals with the most complex part of the game — the Opening — and offers enlightening comments on many historically important variations.

Illustrated with over 340 diagrams and including 12 complete games, The Game of Chess remains one of the standard texts, a careful reading of which will improve the game of any player.
