![]() Denn: Tandem unterscheidet sich in mancher Hinsicht erheblich vom Normalschach. Ungeübte Großmeister werden gegen Spezialisten wenige Chancen haben. Allerdings setzt sich hier nicht, wie man annehmen könnte, die Spielstärke unmittelbar durch. Mit den Kenntnissen des Schachspiels lässt sich diese Abart leicht verstehen. ![]() Tandem, englisch Bughouse Chess genannt, ist eine Spielart des Schachs, in der sich vermutlich fast jeder Vereinsspieler schon versucht hat. Unter den 13 teilnehmenden Teams setzte sich am Ende das russisch-ukrainische Doppel IM Mikhail Zaitsew und Stanislaw Korotkewitsch ungefährdet mit 9/9 durch und gewann eine Siegprämie von 260 Euro, was in diesem Segment durchaus stattlich ist. Während der Europameisterschaft über Ostern in Dresden fand sich unter den Rahmenveranstaltungen auch eines der seltenen Tandemturniere. See this book as homage to a great game and to the great time we had with it. If this book teaches you half as much about bughouse as I had to learn about those things, you will certainly become a bughouse player to be reckoned with! One of my goals with this book was to learn how publishing, organizing sales, cooperation over the Internet and coordinating contributors works. I very much hope you will have as much fun reading this book as we had writing it. What you hold in hand is a joint effort of many top bughouse players. Looking at the list of contributors (right after this introduction) you might realize this is as if Anand, Leko, Kramnik and others have contributed to one chess book. Eventually - and after many hours of playing - you will be able to tackle even the toughest puzzles and understand all the comments in the annotated games. If you want to learn about openings, YScorpion's article is excellent to get started. You could then continue with Maarten's articles on Attack and Defense and the advanced strategy articles. But if you are a beginner, you should probably start with the rules article and the beginners strategy article. Most readers will probably just want to leaf through the pages. This book is for all levels of players: chess players who want to learn bughouse, players who have played enough to have some feel for the basics but want to get better, and experts who have played thousands of games. You also learn diplomacy - how to forgive a partner who just got mated when you were winning, resisting your baser instinct to hit him over the head with your board - well, at least not too hard.Īs some smart guy said: "Imagine there was a war but everyone was playing bughouse chess" - or something like that. You learn the importance of teamwork in winning. In addition, bughouse teaches lessons in human relations. This makes the game a nice metaphor for life in the Computer Age, where those who cannot keep pace invariably fall behind (and if this depresses any older readers, you have my humblest apologies). While in chess you only have to watch not getting flagged, the dynamics of bughouse chess force you to move as fast as your opponents. For example, in bughouse, as in life, time is of vital importance. As a bughouse fanatic, I think you can say the same about bughouse. Many chess fanatics like to say that chess is a teacher in life. Their simplicity shows the beauty of the game. The rule differences to chess can be understood in a few minutes. If you know how to play chess, you do not have to learn much to play bughouse. Why should you play this game? For the same reason you play chess: because it is fun, and not in the least for the team factor it adds - finally there is someone else to blame for your losses! Just give it a try and you will see. In bughouse, one player on each team has white, the other black. In chess whoever gets white has an advantage. ![]() In fact, you might say that it is even fairer than chess. Preface Bughouse Chess is probably the only four player board team game where you have complete information about the game situation at all times and which has no random factor.
