Download or read book End Game written by Dominic Lawson and published by Harmony. This book was released on 1994 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Chess Championship is the ultimate test of mental endurance, the intellectual marathon of sport. Lasting two months, the match is not just the ultimate test of chess skill, but also a grueling trial of willpower, physical stamina, and above all, psychological strength. In September and October of 1993, Nigel Short, having defeated all rival challengers in a three-year-long qualifying cycle, became the first Western competitor since Bobby Fischer to challenge the World Chess crown. His opponent was the man acknowledged to be the most fearsome player in the long history of chess, Garri Kasparov. Dominic Lawson, a close friend of Short, was the only writer given complete access to the scenes behind this battle of wits between East and West. Part of the Short camp throughout the match, Lawson was witness to private moments of elation and dejection, strategic planning and evaluation, that were off-limits to the media. In End Game he reveals what went on emotionally and intellectually as the world's greatest Chess Grandmasters fought for the ultimate honor. Like tennis a generation ago, championship chess today is opening itself up to renegades who reject gentlemanly codes of the past and withhold nothing in their drive to destroy the opponent utterly. They thrive on phenomenal pressure, and on their obsessive self-belief. Dominic Lawson captures it all in an incisive and entertaining style, drawing chess fanatics as well as novices into a world of multi-million-dollar stakes and riveting drama.
Book Synopsis The Best I Saw in Chess by : Stuart Rachels
Download or read book The Best I Saw in Chess written by Stuart Rachels and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the U.S. Championship in 1989, Stuart Rachels seemed bound for the cellar. Ranked last and holding no IM norms, the 20-year-old amateur from Alabama was expected to get waxed by the American top GMs of the day that included Seirawan, Gulko, Dzindzichashvili, deFirmian, Benjamin and Browne. Instead, Rachels pulled off a gigantic upset and became the youngest U.S. Champion since Bobby Fischer. Three years later he retired from competitive chess, but he never stopped following the game. In this wide-ranging, elegantly written, and highly personal memoir, Stuart Rachels passes on his knowledge of chess. Included are his duels against legends such as Kasparov, Anand, Spassky, Ivanchuk, Gelfand and Miles, but the heart of the book is the explanation of chess ideas interwoven with his captivating stories. There are chapters on tactics, endings, blunders, middlegames, cheating incidents, and even on how to combat that rotten opening, the Réti. Rachels offers a complete and entertaining course in chess strategy. At the back are listed 110 principles of play—bits of wisdom that arise naturally in the book’s 24 chapters. Every chess player will find it difficult to put this sparkling book down. As a bonus, it will make you a better player.
Book Synopsis Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual by : Mark Dvoretsky
Download or read book Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual written by Mark Dvoretsky and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the best books ever published on the endgame. The second edition is revised and enlarged - now over 400 pages - covering all the most important concepts required for endgame mastery. "I am sure that those who study this work carefully will not only play the endgame better, but overall, their play will improve. One of the secrets of the Russian chess school is now before you, dear reader!" - From the Foreword to the First Edition by Grandmaster Artur Yusupov "Going through this book will certainly improve your endgame knowledge, but just as important, it will also greatly improve your ability to calculate variations... What really impresses me is the deep level of analysis in the book... All I can say is: This is a great book. I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it has me." - From the Preface to the First Edition by International Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard Here's what they had to say about the First Edition: "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual ... may well be the chess book of the year... [It] comes close to an ultimate one-volume manual on the endgame." - Lubomir Kavalek in his chess column of December 1, 2003 in the Washington Post. "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is quite simply a masterpiece of research and insight. It is a tremendous contribution to endgame literature, certainly the most important one in many years, and destined to be a classic of the literature (if it isn't already one). The famous trainer Mark Dvoretsky has put together a vast number of examples that he has not only collected, but analysed and tested with some of the world's strongest players. This is a particularly important book from the standpoint of clarifying, correcting, and extending the theory of endings. Most of all, Dvoretsky's analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy." - John Watson, reviewing DEM at The Week In Chess 2003 Book of the Year - JeremySilman.com 2003 Book of the Year - Seagaard Chess Reviews: "This is an extraordinary good chess book. To call this the best book on endgames ever written seems to be an opinion shared by almost all reviewers and commentators. And I must say that I am not to disagree." - Erik Sobjerg
