Book excerpt: An enthralling journey into the world of chess--a story of heartbreak, obsession, failure, and the hunger for greatness Sasha Chapin is a victim of chess. Like countless amateurs before him--Albert Einstein, Humphrey Bogart, Marcel Duchamp--the game has consumed his life and his mind. First captivated by it as a member of his high school chess club, his passion was rekindled during an accidental encounter with chess hustlers on the streets of Kathmandu. In its aftermath, he forgot how to care about anything else. He played at all hours, for weeks at a time. Like a spurned lover, he tried to move on, but he found the game more seductive the more he resisted it. And so, he thought, if he can't defeat his obsession, he had to succumb to it. All the Wrong Moves traces Chapin's rollicking two-year journey around the globe in search of glory. Along the way, he chronicles the highs and lows of his fixation, driven on this quest by lust, terror, and the elusive possibility of victory. Stylish, inventive, and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Wrong Moves is a celebration of the purity, violence, and beauty of the game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average club player doesn’t need to study hundreds of pages of chess opening theory. Understanding structures and finding tactics are much more important than memorizing variations. Renowned German chess trainers Erik Zude and Jörg Hickl have created an ideal club player’s repertoire for Black. This compact manual presents a set of lines that is conveniently limited in scope, yet varied, solid and complete. The core repertoire is based on lines that the authors have successfully played at (grand)master level for decades: the Antoshin Variation of the Philidor Defence against 1.e4 and the Old-Indian Defence against 1.d4. There is only a limited number of plans, ideas and structures that you need to learn, and very few forcing variations. You will develop your position with a sequence of strong standard moves and start your highly effective counterplay. Zude and Hickl provide common sense guidance, explain all typical characteristics and give practical examples. If you have an Elo rating between 1400 and 2200, you don’t need to look further because you can Play 1..d6 Against Everything!

When artificial intelligence researchers are increasingly studying chess to develop machine learning, The Psychology of Chess shows us how much it has already taught us about the human mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all men live the same lives. From his experiences as a war veteran in Iraq to the time he has spent in Maximum and minimum security psych units, Adan has lived a life worth briefing. All the while he was experiencing life as a passenger, he took out time to play chess and played against some true masters of the game. He noticed that the game of life and chess were not quite different from one another. He wanted to write this book to reflect on his experiences of life, which many would deem insane. But there is sanity even in insanity; only one who has been on the other side of this scale could tell you. After the death of his brother, his experiences with many sorts of drugs caused him to not only hear voices but had begun to corrupt his soul. The span of time he spent in Iraq while witnessing the utmost brutality and his willingness to speak the truth of it all is what makes this book so special. But life is not that different from the game of chess, pawns on board moved by whoever, however. Come join the book on the journey it takes its readers on in a series of ups and downs, moments of chaos, and life of sheer insanity, all the while keeping the essence of chess alive. There is a darker side to life that many of us do not get to experience; most don’t even know of its existence. We welcome you.
