Susan Polgar became the first female Grandmaster at age 15—and it wasn't luck that got her there. Her use of tactics, combinations, and strategy during her games gave her the critical advantage she needed against her opponents.

In Chess Tactics for Champions, Polgar gives insight into the kind of thinking that chess champions rely on while playing the game, specifically the ability to recognize patterns and combinations. With coauthor Paul Truong, Susan Polgar teaches the tactics she learned from her father, Laszlo Polgar, one of the world's best chess coaches.

Teaches players how to calculate the effect of a move in order to gain an edge over an opponent

For intermediate to advanced chess players of all ages

IL SISTEMA VETIVER (VS) si basa sull'utilizzo di una una pianta tropicale dalle caratteristiche uniche: il vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides), ed e stato testato ed utilizzato in oltre 100 paesi per la conservazione del suolo e delle acque, stabilizzazione di pendii a rischio smottamento, fitorimedio, controllo del inquinamento, depurazione delle acque, prevenzione del disastro e molte altre applicazioni in campo ambientale atte anche a ridurre l'impatto del riscaldamento globale e del cambiamento climatico e mitigarne gli effetti, in particolare nell'ottica di una incombente crisi alimentare nei paesi in via di sviluppo. Ha un ulteriore utilizzo nel campo dei biocarburanti derivati da materia non alimentare per la produzione di energia. Il Sistema Vetiver e facile da implementare, a basso costo, e se applicato correttamente funziona Questo manuale descrive le maggiori applicazioni e la tecnologia su cui si basano. Questa seconda edizione del manuale e a colori e rettifica gli errori presenti nella prima edizione. Questo manuale, diffusamente illustrato, e stato originariamente preparato per il Vietnam ed e ora disponibile per i lettori di tutto il mondo, e per sostenere il Vetiver Network International e la sua ricca banca dati accessibile presso www.vetiver.org .E pubblicato per fornire un riferimento tecnico per i tecnici, gli ingegneri, i legislatori, il settore agricolo ed i giardinieri, oltre che per facilitare il lavoro di pianificazione del territorio, e per chiunque sia interessato a soluzioni "verdi" per i problemi ambientali del ventunesimo secolo.

The Vetiver System (VS) relies on a unique tropical plant, vetiver grass, which has been proven and used in some 100 countries for soil and water conservation, slope stabilization, land rehabilitation, pollution control, water quality improvement, disaster mitigation and many other environmental applications that can mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. The Vetiver System is easy to use, low cost and if applied correctly works This handbook describes its most important uses for infrastructure protection and disaster mitigation through the Vetiver System's application for slope stabilization. It is based on 20 years of research and actual applications for the stabilization of highways, railways, canals, river banks, building sites, and flood control levees, sea dikes, and land slide sites.

The Vetiver System relies on a unique tropical plant, Vetiver grass - "Chrysopogon zizanioides," that is proven and used in some 100 countries for soil and water conservation, slope stabilization, land rehabilitation, pollution control, water quality improvement, disaster mitigation and many other environmental applications that can mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. It has future potential for atmospheric carbon sequestration (carbon exchange credits) and as bio-fuel for power generation and cellulosic ethanol. The Vetiver System is easy to use, low cost and if applied correctly works This manual describes its most important uses and the technology behind it. This second edition of the manual has full color images and corrects a number of errors in the first edition.

The Vetiver System is easy to use, low cost, and, if applied correctly, works This handbook describes its most important uses for the agricultural sector where its should be a key farm technology for farmers of any scale, but particularly small farmers and rural communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries, where it could change the lives of many thousands of people through the provision of a better quality of life and income benefits. At this time of approaching global food shortages and high food prices the the Vetiver System should be considered and used by every farmer in the tropics.

Mfumo wa Vetiver unautegemea mmea wa kipekee wa kitropiki, unaoitwa nyasi Vetiver. Mmea huo umefanyiwa uchunguzi wa makini sana, kuthibitishwa na kutumiwa katika nchi 100 kwa kuhifadhi maji na udongo, uimarishaji ardhi, kudhibiti uchafuzi, kuboresha maji, kupunguza ukali wa maafa, na matumizi mengi mengineyo ya kimazingira yanayoweza kupunguza athari za kuongezeka kwa joto duniani na mabadiliko ya hali ya anga kwa siku zijazo. Kitabu hiki kina picha nyingi sana ili kutoa maelezo zaidi, kimeandikwa kwa usaidizi wa Mtandao wa Vetiver wenye habari nyingi katika http: // www.Vetiver.org na Mtandao huo unapaswa kuwa ndio marejeleo kwa wahusika kama vile waundaji sera, wanamipangilio mbalimbali, wahandisi, mafundi, wakulima wakubwa kwa wadogo na mtu yeyote yule anayetaka kutumia maarifa haya yaliyothibitishwa ya masuluhisho "kijani kibichi" kwa matatizo yanayoukabili ulimwengu katika karne hii ya ishirini na moja.

O Sistema Vetiver (SV) se baseia numa planta tropical unica. A grama Vetiver (Chrysopogon Zizanioides), que comprovadamente esta sendo usada em 100 paises na conservacao do solo e da agua, na estabilizacao de taludes, recuperacao de terras, controle da poluicao, melhoria da qualidade da agua, mitigacao de desastres, e muitas aplicacoes ambientais que podem mitigar o impacto do aquecimento global e mudancas climaticas, particularmente a assustadora crise de alimentos em muitos paises em desenvolvimento. Alem disso, tem potencial futuro no sequestro do carbono da atmosfera e como bio combustivel para geracao de energia e etanol. O Sistema Vetiver e facil de usar, de baixo custo, e se aplicado corretamente funciona. Esse Manual descreve seus usos mais importantes e a tecnologia que os precede. Essa segunda edicao do Manual esta a cores e tem erros da primeira ja corrigidos. Esse Manual bem ilustrado, preparado originalmente para os usuarios do Vietnam, este agora publicado para leitores de todo o mundo, e esta mantido na base de dados da The Vetiver Network International (TVNI), a Rede de Organizacao Internacional do Vetiver, no site www.vetiver.org. Devera ser usado como referencia e como um manual para os planejadores, fiscais do meio ambiente, engenheiros, geologos, tecnicos de construcao civil, fazendeiros, agronomos, jardineiros e qualquer um que esteja interessado em solucoes funcionais "verdes" para os problemas ambientais que surgirao no seculo 21.

El Sistema Vetiver (SV) depende del uso de una planta tropical muy particular, el pasto vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides), que ha sido probado y usado en mas de 100 paises para la conservacion de suelos y agua, estabilizacion de pendientes, rehabilitacion de tierras, control de contaminacion, mejoramiento de la calidad del agua, mitigacion de desastres y muchas otras aplicaciones ambientales que pueden mitigar el impacto del calentamiento global, y particularmente la crisis de alimentos que se avecina en muchos sitios del mundo en desarrollo. Adicionalmente este pasto tiene el potencial a futuro para el secuestro de carbono atmosferico, y como bio-combustible para la generacion de energia y de etanol celulosico.
