Features: This book is primarily based on the 36 Stratagems, referencing works such as The Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Liezi, The Art of War in the Garden, and the I Ching. Following the numerical order of the 36 Stratagems, it adopts well-known idioms as titles for arrangement. Before each stratagem name, there is a brief military principle, followed by an explanation, translation, and new interpretation, as well as a chess explanation. By combining the corresponding relationships of the military principles' hardness and softness, odd and even, offense and defense, oneself and others, reality and illusion, dominant and subordinate, and effort and rest, it selects some brilliant and typical game examples from chess (chess practice) to elaborate on the theory of military strategy. The book strives to be both profound and accessible. The New Edition of the 36 Stratagems of Chess is divided into three volumes: Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3. This volume selects 306 brilliant and typical game examples, each accompanied by a diagram and preceded by a situational analysis and commentary on gains and losses, providing readers with enlightenment.
