Have more fun watching and playing curling with this new guide to
"chess on ice" "Introduction to Curling Strategy" is the first
comprehensive book on modern curling strategy. It uses an intuitive
approach (and lots of pictures) to make curling strategy easy to
understand, even for people who are totally new to the sport. It
works through classic scenarios that commonly occur at all levels
of curling. And, it shows advanced curlers how to pick tactics
based on goals and "intent," rather than play shot-to-shot. The
book is organized into five parts: Part 1: Curling Basics-A brief
introduction to curling for people who are new to the sport, plus
basic information you must know to understand the rest of the book
Part 2: Strategy Basics-Fundamental concepts that underlie all
curling strategy Part 3: Tactics in Depth-Opens and endings. Decide
how you want an end to finish, then pick the right opening moves to
get you there. Part 4: Strategy Scenarios-Navigating the nebulous
middle of an end. This section uses interactive puzzles to show you
how to stay focused and steer play towards the ending you want.
Part 5: Putting It All Together and Playing in the Real
World-Follow a real game, shot by shot, and see how skips make-and
stick with-plans. This section also covers "real world" situations,
like curling on arena ice, and playing with new curlers who are
still learning to make basic shots. The book also makes a great
textbook for curling classes (Author's note: There are three
versions of this book - color paperback, black and white paperback,
and e-book - so everyone can have access to curling knowledge at an
affordable price.)
