Exeter Chess Club Coaching CANON
Exeter Chess
Club Canonical Chess Games and Positions.
The Canon is a
personal collection of good examples developed through a discussion
group at Exeter Chess Club . It is, as
you might expect, rather derivative, but hopefully there are some
examples you haven't seen before. The index is about 70K, and has
separate sections on tactical patterns and opening traps {D}, guidelines for opening play and
example openings {C}
{D}, model attacking games
{D} and attacking
techniques {C} {D}, defensive play {B} {C}, positional themes {B} {C} and
planning {B}, the
endgame {all}, the
psychology {all} of chess,
and personal style {all}.
Please let me know if:
- you find an example you cannot follow
- you find names for the players where I have only NN
- you have a suggestion for a good example
- Download
- If you want to download the complete canon of games in database
format, you can have it
- as pure PGN, or
- the main file and index for users of ChessBase 1.11 or Fritz versions 1-4, or
- ChessBase 6.0 Zip file (.cbh and all the others) for CB 6/7 or Fritz 5.
- Games and analysis used in the opening booklets are kept separately; again you can have them as PGN, two ChessBase 1.11 files, or a ZIP file for CB 6.0.
- You can download demonstration versions of ChessBase 1.11 and 6.01 from the ChessBase Site.
- You can also get the whole of the chess on this site (the Canon and other games with explanatory notes) as a gzipped tar file [9Mb file, use TAR and GZIP to unpack].
