Note for Coaches, Parents,Teachers, and Trainers

This collection of problems opens a series of a new kind of problem books. Someof the problems in it may seem absurdly simple to experienced chessplayers or coaches.But that isnt the case the simplicity of our problems is superficial. If the requiredattention hasnt been paid in the past to the development of these kinds of simple prob-lems, that highlights the fact that there are still many blank spots in the matter of how tobegin teaching the game of chess. This has to do with the fact that, in every country inthe world, these problem books are written by strong practical players, for whom certainsubjects seem too simple to be worth any attention at all. Such authors dont take intoaccount the fact that the earliest stage of instruction deserves closer attention.

As a result, in previously published problem collections, a large stratum of usefulchess exercises has remained unrevealed. The main goal of our series of problem booksis to correct this omission.

In order for the beginning chessplayer to learn to play chess well later on, the coachshould first help him or her to establish a solid foundation. To this end, beginning play-ers should first get the feel of the possibilities of each piece separately, and also famil-iarize themselves with the comparative strengths of the pieces. Our series of thematic

exercises with a small number of pieces on the board serves this purpose.

At the same time problems from the so-called pre-checkmate period play a veryimportant role in the initial stage of instruction. Very often there arent even kings inthese diagrams, such that in order to win you simply have to eliminate or immobilize allyour opponents pawns or pieces (as in checkers play for a wipeout).

The point of these exercises isnt to deliver mate, but to acquire various chess skills,to master the simplest methods of attacking and defending. The purpose is to teachthe student to see the chess board, to find hidden threats and connections betweendifferent pieces, and to understand how to coordinate the pieces to achieve one goal or

another.

By using our problem book, in the course of initial study beginning chessplayerscan: 1) familiarize themselves with the possibilities and comparative strengths of eachpiece; 2) learn to attack one piece with another piece; 3) learn how to restrict the mobil-

ity of their opponents pieces; 4) learn to see guarded and unguarded pieces on theboard; 5) learn to deliver double attacks; 6) learn to find defensive moves; 7) learnto use pins for attack and defense; 8) learn to choose the best capture from severalpossibilities; 9) master the typical methods of fighting with the various pieces againstpawns; 10) learn to see opportunities to announce check in any position; and 11)

completely master the rules of the game.

In general, in order to achieve success in chess three stages of instruction need tobe covered thoroughly: 1) the pre-checkmate stage here, students should developa feel for the pre-checkmate harmony of the pieces in both attack and defense; 2)the stage of giving mate in one here students should get a feel for the harmony ofthe pieces when checkmating; 3) the checkmate stage here students should get afeel for the harmony of the pieces when using a mate threat. Having said that, theyounger the student, the longer the first two stages should last.

This first problem book allows us to work through the first (pre-checkmate)stage, while the second and third books focus on working through the second stage(giving mate in one). Subsequent collections will help students and coaches to workthrough the third (mating) stage.
