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.

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. |

Book Description
Most games are not won -- they are lost. The vast majority of instructional books tell how to improve a position when it is already (or may be) favorable. The Art of Defense in Chess analyzes the practical aspects of not having the advantage:
-- How to obtain counterplay
-- When to contest open lines
-- When to accept sacrifices
-- How to anticipate short- and long-term threats
-- How to restrain your opponent's pieces
-- How to create a defense perimeter
-- How to minimize losses
-- And much more
The Art of Defense in Chess also discusses the proper psychological attitudes for successful defense -- coolness under fire, the Saving Grace, stonewalling, etc. -- as well as the Principle of Exploitable Weakness and the Principle of Economy, as illustrated in more than one hundred positions taken from competitive play.
About the Author
Andrew Soltis, International Chess Grandmaster, is chess columnist for the New York Post and the author of several popular books on chess, including Pawn Structure Chess Mistakes. and The Catalog of Chess Mistakes. |

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. |

ABOUT THE BOOK
Leningrad Dutch
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Dutch Defence has a well-deserved reputation for being an uncompromising and aggressive opening. Playing the Dutch shows that you are not going to be content with just a draw. You want to win. The Leningrad system is one of the most popular and dynamic variations of the Dutch and is a particular favorite of the younger generation of Russian and former Soviet Grandmasters. |
