Leningrad Dutch - Mihail Marin - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

Leningrad Dutch - Mihail Marin - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

The Dutch is renowned as a fighting weapon against 1.d4, as 1…f5 immediately sets up an unbalanced struggle. Then Black''s kingside fianchetto, which defines the Leningrad Dutch, allows pawn-storming play in similar style to the King''s Indian Defence. Mihail Marin is the ideal author to explain both the strategic ideas and the latest theory. Leningrad Dutch covers lines where White also fianchettoes the king''s bishop – these lines are the critical test of the Leningrad. The companion volume, Dutch Sidelines, completes Black''s Dutch repertoire.

The Secret Life of Bad Bishops - Esben Lund - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

The Secret Life of Bad Bishops - Esben Lund - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

The Bad Bishop is a notorious villain in chess, but often a perfectly respectable bishop is falsely accused. The Secret Life of Bad Bishops takes an in-depth look at the bishop – not just dealing with good and bad bishops but also more nuanced cases where a "double-edged bishop" could turn out to be a game-winning hero or a fatal liability. All phases of chess are covered, from opening to middlegame to endgame. The final two chapters test the reader''s newly enhanced understanding with carefully chosen exercises and instructive solutions.

Chess Tactics from Scratch - - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

Chess Tactics from Scratch - - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

‘Chess is 99 per cent tactics'' is an old saying. This may be an exaggeration, but even the remaining 1 per cent still depends on tactics. When Martin Weteschnik started working as a trainer in his local chess club, he quickly realized that even the stronger club players had great weaknesses in their tactical play. He also discovered that simply asking them to solve a huge number of puzzles did not fix the problem. These players clearly needed a good book, but when Weteschnik looked for it he found nothing suitable, so he decided to write it himself. But Weteschnik was not completely satisfied with the book and decided to restructure and rewrite it completely. The first edition of this book, Understanding Chess Tactics, was hailed as a modern classic. This expanded and improved second edition offers more puzzles to test the tactical chess skill that Weteschnik helps the reader develop.

e3 Poison - Axel Smith - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

e3 Poison - Axel Smith - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

When Axel Smith was chasing his final Grandmaster norm, he decided he needed a change in his White opening repertoire. Instead of his usual approach of memorizing many concrete moves to try to force an advantage, he would focus on pawn structures and typical plans. The result was a repertoire based on a set-up with the moves d4, Nf3, c4 and e3. It helped Axel Smith to the GM title, and led to the creation of e3 Poison. This repertoire can be played using many different move orders, and Smith explains their pros and cons. The reader will not have to memorize many moves, but hard work is still essential to understand the themes, so many exercises are provided to test the reader. Smith shows that a practical repertoire can also be a grandmaster repertoire, it is all about understanding the positional themes and plans.

Kotronias on the King's Indian Volume V - Vassilios Kotronias - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

The King''s Indian Defence is one of Black''s most combative responses to 1.d4. A favourite of both Fischer and Kasparov, it remains a popular weapon at all levels of play. In this, the fifth and final volume of the epic Kotronias on the King''s Indian series, Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias completes his masterpiece by tackling all major variations after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 which were not covered in the previous volumes. Starting with 3.f3 and working through numerous set-ups including the Smyslov, Sokolov and Seirawan Systems, followed by the Four Pawns Attack and culminating in the mighty Sämisch System, Kotronias has produced perhaps the finest book of his career. As in previous volumes, the author supplements the hard analysis by sharing his expert knowledge of typical manoeuvres and positional motifs. Once again, a selection of test positions has been provided, enabling the reader to sharpen his tactical skills and improve his middlegame understanding.

Kotronias on the King's Indian Volume IV - Vassilios Kotronias - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

The King''s Indian Defence is one of Black''s most dynamic responses to 1.d4. A favourite weapon of both Fischer and Kasparov, it remains a popular choice at all levels of play. In this, the fourth volume of the epic Kotronias on the King''s Indian series, Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias tackles a variety of White''s attempts to challenge his favourite opening, starting with the sequence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6.

Dynamic coverage of Makogonov''s 5.Nf3/6.h3, Karpov''s 5.h3/6.Be3, Larsen''s 5.Nf3/6.Be3 and Averbakh''s 5.Be2 completes this extensive work. Throughout the work, the author shares his considerable knowledge of typical positional motifs, while providing plenty of ammunition should the game erupt into the full-blooded warfare that is the hallmark of the King''s Indian.

Python Strategy - Tigran Petrosian - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

Python Strategy - Tigran Petrosian - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Plusbog.dk

Tigran Petrosian is a titan of chess history. All agree he was a genius of strategy, defence and sacrifice, but didn''t he take too many draws? Possibly so, but when Petrosian selected and annotated his best games, that flaw disappeared, leaving only brilliance and profound chess understanding. As Garry Kasparov said: "My games with the 9th World Champion broadened my understanding of chess. Had it not been for these two defeats, I would possibly not have reached the top in chess." This book is an English translation of a Russian classic that is a favourite of many grandmasters, including Mihail Marin and Levon Aronian. A literal translation of the Russian title might be ''The Strategy of Soundness'' but Python Strategy is a better fit for Petrosian''s more ambitious games. As another World Champion, Max Euwe, once wrote: "Petrosian is not a tiger that pounces on its prey, but rather a python that smothers its victim."
