AT IS "POER PLAY!" ??

The modern amateur chessplayer has

been bombarded with thousands of

examples of chess literature aimd at

instructing the student in ways to

conduct the opening and middlegame

in chess. How many of us have not

rushed to the bookstore to purchase

the latest "System against the ..." or

"Encyclopedia of ..." or "Complete

Repetoire against..." in our quest to

improve our knowledge and {hopefully)

our results, only to find that we must

wade through a mass of variations and

complete games, a time-consuming

and intimidating method of study that

often defeats its own purpose. While we

at ChessBase University acknowledge

the importance of the traditional

literature, we hope to tackle the two

most fundamental and important

problems that the chess amateur faces

when he reaches the critical transition

between the "opening" and the

"middlegame" ...

How do I get there??

What do I do ater I'm there??

The concept of "Power Play!" is that

chess openings and the middlegames

derived from them can be broken down

into a number of critical positions, and

that study of these positions in an

interactive playing environment will

confer on students a deeper, more

resilient understanding of the problems

that confront them on the chessboard.

These "Power Play!" positions have

been carefully selectd from thousands

of master games and are the key

element to this book's structure. As in

ice hockey where "Power Play" implies

a man or more superiority on the ice,

"Power Play!" adds a serious weapon

to the chess arsenal of the prepard

student.

This "Power Play!" "Book-on-Disk"

was originally developd in electronic

format to be used with ChessBase

USA's master-strength playing

program KnightStalker (or Fritz) and

that still remains the most convenient,

efficient way to apply the Power Play!

methd. But "Power Play!" can be usd

effectively by anyone who wants to

really understand chess, whether you

have access to any one of a number of

chessplaying programs and dedicated

machines, to an avid sparring patner at

the local club, or the simple,

old-fashioned expedient of piece

shuffling in the convenience of your

study. Either way, "Power Play!" will

make you a stronger, beter informed

player.

Structure Of The Power Play!

Book-On-Disk

If you own an MS-DOS compatible

computer, you might want to consider

the additional investment in ChessBase

University and the "Power Play!"

books-on-disk series. In addition to the

wealth of useful information provided to

you in this book, the disk provides a set

of computer-specific tools to make your

studies even easier. "Power Play!"

disks include:

1. Document files which contain

material that can be viewed in

Hypetext. The Hypetet will present

an oveview of each of the "Power

Play!" positions from the opening under

study, discussing White's and Black's

plans and allowing access to the critical

position in the game files. Additionally,
