In this, the third and final volume of his landmark series, award-winning author Tibor Károlyi concludes his investigation into the life and career of Mikhail Tal, the most entertaining and popular world champion of all time. This book covers the final two decades of Tal''s life and games, from 1972 until his death in 1992.

Other highlights include victory in the Montreal 1979 Tournament of Champions, and winning the World Blitz Championship in 1988. Despite Tal''s unbeaten streaks and more mature playing style, his attacking flair did not desert him, and the reader will find many more delightful sacrifices and creative gems from one of the most remarkable careers in chess history. As in the previous volumes, insightful chess analysis and biographical research is complemented by anecdotes from famous players who share their memories of Tal "The Invincible".

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.

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

Python Strategy - Tigran Petrosian - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Booktok.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."

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

e3 Poison - Axel Smith - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Booktok.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.

Attack & Defence - Jacob Aagaard - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Booktok.dk

Attack & Defence - Jacob Aagaard - Bog - Quality Chess UK LLP - Booktok.dk

In Attack & Defence Jacob Aagaard presents the main principles of how to attack and defend in chess. By carving dynamic chess into separate areas of ability, he gives the reader a clear way to expand his understanding of this vital part of the game. "Playing the violin and learning languages are similar activities – the brain needs a special map for these kinds of activities, so it has to be learned at an early age – due to some brain chemistry stuff, I guess. That explains why so many players get stuck at a certain level – their map is done! Depressing, eh? But that’s where Aagaard (and other heavyweights like Dvoretsky and Yusupov) come to the rescue! The books in this series are designed to change the ''chess map'' in your brain! Jacob wants to transform that narrow path of finding good moves into a freeway where good moves flow!" -- From the foreword by Sune Berg Hansen The Grandmaster Preparation series is aimed at ambitious players.
