			Description: This book by Grandmaster David Bronstein, one of the most original and influential players of the post-war period, is not a self-tutor in the conventional sense, where the basics of opening, middlegame and endgame are play are drily explained. Instead, the author engages in a frank conversation with the reader, discussing how strong players decide on their moves, and covering such topics as a shelter for the king, the deployment of the pieces and pawns, attack and defense, and the strengths and weaknesses of a position. A full list of David Bronstein's chess achievements would run to several pages. Suffice it to say that he once drew a match for the World Championship, was twice Soviet Champion, and has won numerous international tournaments around the world. He remains an active player and is a popular guest on the European circuit, where his uncompromising and creative approach still wins many friends. (This book is translated by Ken Neat, Cadogan's Russian Series Editor.)

			Book Description This is the ideal book for serious adult players who want to improve. It describes a study plan that came about thanks to a re-evaluation of standard chess teaching and includes several unique components aimed at improving deficiencies in the play of adult players. This book is the only one of its kind for the simple reason that it has been written by an author who hugely improved his own rating over a twelve month period by following his own advice. He therefore fully understands the challenges faced by enthusiastic players who are relatively new to the game. This is in sharp contrast to most books aimed at this level which are usually written by very strong players who have long forgotten what it feels like to be starting out in the game.

			Book Description For all chess-players - from beginners to grandmasters, and whatever their style of play - one thing is certain: rook endings will arise in a great many of their games. Yet it is precisely in this area of the game that many players give away hard-earned points, either through lack of knowledge or inadequate understanding. Previous books on the subject have been extremely technical and theoretical, and therefore of little use to the practical player. This one is different. John Emms provides the essential specific knowledge, and explains the key concepts, that will enable readers to find the right plan in most common types of rook ending. Rook endings are reached in roughly one in five of all chess games. This volume provides everything you need to know to play rook endings successfully. The author is a battle-hardened professional player, himself the veteran of hundreds of rook endings.

			From Publishers Weekly Even a quick look at the table of contents reveals the breadth and vigor of this anthology. Entries progress with ease from the reverent (Charles Krauthammer's) to the celebratory (Ezra Pound's), the nonsensical (Lewis Carroll's) to the ruminatory (Stefan Zweig's) to the comedic (Woody Allen's) to the poignant (Julian Barnes's). The chess-playing scene from Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall depicts an erotically charged Victorian battle of the sexes, while Kurt Vonnegut's 1953 short story "All the King's Horses" is a Cold War allegory that vivifies the mental stresses and ruthlessness of the game. Other distinctive contributions come from Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett and less likely writers, among them Ian Fleming, Sholem Aleichem and Harry Kemelmen. In brief introductions Hochberg (coauthor of Winning with Chess Psychology ) affords even the uninitiated a proper sense of perspective, and his 44 selections cover a variety of genres (poems, stories, drama, excerpts from novels) and geographical range as well (Russia, Spain, Argentina, Poland). Like all thematic anthologies, this volume is obsessional--all the more so because it reflects an obsessional game. Avid chess players may devour this whole; others will need to partake of it in measured helpings. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Ingram A potpourri of poems, essays, mysteries, and allegories by writers from Lord Alfred Tennyson to Woody Allen shows how the game of chess has historically been used in literature as a subject, inspiration, and metaphor. 10,000 first printing.

			From its origins in India some thirteen centuries ago, chess has long been a game that has challenged man's mind and captured his imagination. "Beginning Chess" is the perfect primer for the novice chess player. It is a valuable compendium of practical ideas and the wisdom that author D.B. Pritchard has developed over many years teaching chess to the young and the not-so-young. In the arrangement of contents, Pritchard has allowed himself to be guided by these past pupils, for, as he writes, "The beginner knows best the pace he can keep and the method and sequence that best suits him."With its clear, authoritative language, "Beginning Chess" is simple enough to be understood by children, but it is also intended for adults who prefer to tread surely, and who do not wish to have their intellect stretched in a game. Delving right into the most common problems and challenges that confront beginners, Pritchard explains each difficulty with relentless clarity.

			Book Description Everyone loses chess games occasionally, but all too often we lose a game due to moves that, deep down, we knew were flawed. Why do we commit these chess-board sins? Are they the result of general misconceptions about chess and how it should be played better? In this thought-provoking and entertaining book, Jonathan Rowson investigates, in his inimitable style, the main reasons why chess-players sometimes go horribly astray. He focuses on several underlying psychological pitfalls: Thinking (unneceessary or erroneous); Blinking (missing opportunities; lack of resolution); Wanting (too much concern with the result of the game); Materialism (lack of attention to non-material factors); Egoism (insufficient awareness of the opponent and his ideas); Perfectionism (running short of time; trying too hard); and Looseness ("losing the plot"; drifting; poor concentration). A great book for readers interested in understanding why they sometimes make the mistakes that frustrate their efforts at winning! About the Author Jonathan Rowson became Scotland's third grandmaster in late 1999, within months of graduating from Oxford University. He was runner-up in the 1997 European Junior Championship, Scottish Champion in 1999 and winner of the Canadian Open in 2000. Rowson's first book "Understanding the Grunfeld" has been highly praised for the quality and originality of his writing, and freshness of approach.

His second grandmaster norm came in the British League the following year. He is already an experienced chess writer, but this work is Rowson's first major book. He is currently studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford University. Book Description The Grunfeld Defense has always been a popular choice with players who aim to counterattack with the black pieces. World Champions Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov head a distinguished cast of grandmasters who swear by its solid yet dynamic nature. In this original book Jonathan Rowson delves deeply into the Grunfeld, steering the reader through the mysteries and intricacies of this complex opening. Now you too will be able to understand, play and win the Grunfeld!

			About the Author Grandmaster Alex Yermolinsky is one of the strongest players in the United States. He was US Champion in 1996, and won the US Open Championship in 1995 and 1997. He has represented the USA in four Olympiads, and played board two for the team that won the World Team Championship in 1993. His credentials as a teacher are no less impressive. He assited Irina Levitina in her bid for the Women's World Championship in 1982-4, while his former pupils include top-class grandmasters such as Alexander Khalifman and Vladimir Epishin. After his arrival in the United States in 1989, he continued coaching, with one of his pupils, Boris Kreiman, winning the US Junior Championship in 1993. He also teaches chess via his online "Yermo Chess Academy". Through his magazine articles, he has also earned a reputation as an excellent writer. This is his first book. Book Description "How can I improve my game?" is a perennial question facing chess-players. While there are no easy answers, Alex Yermolinsky is better qualified than most to offer advice. Having found the famed "Soviet School of Chess" wanting, he trained himself, slowly but surely raising his game to top-class grandmaster standard. In this book, he passes on many of the insights he has gained over the years. He steers the reader away from "quick fix" approaches, and focuses on the critical areas of chess understanding and over-the-board decision-making. This entertainingly written book breaks new ground in many areas of chess understanding. Topics covered include: Trend-Breaking Tools; The Burden of Small Advantages; What Exchanges Are For; Classics Revisited; and Computer Chess. A large part of the book discusses a variety of important opening set-ups, including methods for opposing offbeat but dangerous lines, such as the Grand Prix Attack.
