    Condition: Very good Small scratches on the binding This book is the most complete collection of Emanuel Lasker's chess works in the world today. In addition to the frequently published CHESS TEXTBOOK and the rarer but well-known work COMMON SENSE IN CHESS, it includes rudiments of chess knowledge and lessons for beginners - works that are completely inaccessible today. Lasker's influence on the chess world was enormous, his athletic superiority over his opponents was so incredible that his contemporaries could not find a reasonable explanation for it. Some attributed his success to luck, others even suspected hypnosis! Only today have many of the methods that Lasker used in his chess practice become clear, although he, as a true scientist, directly set out his views in printed works. Lasker's books are essential for anyone who wants to understand chess and achieve success in it. Special hard "puffy" binding.

    Одно из немногих шахматных обучающих видео на русском языке! В фильме представлены уроки международных гроссмейстеров - Игоря Зайцева и Евгения Свешникова. Все уроки сопровождаются интерактивными изображениями шахматных досок. Всемирная шахматная видеоэнциклопедия – это уникальный видеосериал, ставящий задачу объединить и глубоко осмыслить сокровищницу шахматных знаний, накопленных человечеством, через творчество великих и выдающихся мастеров шахматного искусства. Первый раздел составляют 4-х часовые выпуски по актуальным вопросам шахматной философии, теории дебютов, шахматной стратегии, тактики, психологии и т.д. Весь огромный материал строится на базе опыта, накопленного шахматной школой Анатолия Карпова в течении 10 лет ее работы. Школа уникальна уже по плодам своим : десятки молодых людей, прошедших курс школы, стали международными мастерами и гроссмейстерами, чемпионами мира и Европы в различных возрастных категориях. Феномен школы очень точно определил сам Анатолий Карпов. Вот его слова, которые используются в качестве эпиграфа в начале каждого выпуска сериала «Шахматная школа Анатолия Карпова» : я начал играть в шахматы в 4 года. Чемпионом мира стал через 19 лет. Со всей ответственностью могу сказать, что мой путь на шахматный Эверест был бы значительно короче, если бы с самого начала у меня были такие наставники, которые сегодня в нашей школе. Содержание: 1. Вступительное слово. 2. Как составить дебютный репертуар по системе Свешникова. 3. Важнейшие элементы шахматной стратегии: Атака в сильном пункте. Атака возмездия (И. Зайцев).

    The proposed book is unique, literally in every part we meet with interesting details that seem to lead us to the side, but always allow us to return to the main direction of the narrative. In the book, the chess world champion Anatoly Karpov talks about himself, his comrades and teachers, about climbing the top of the chess Olympus, about the big and small chess battles in which he participated. There are not many chess games in the book, and they are chosen in a rather peculiar way. The selection of the parties presented here sufficiently reveals Karpov's approach to the chess game itself. He gives only the games he won, apparently considering that the chess game & ndash; this is mainly a sport. The story of the world champion is supplemented by the master of sports of the USSR, the deserved trainer of the RSFSR, journalist Alexander Roshal. This book is much new. Both amateurs and chess specialists will learn about this new with interest, and those who still know almost nothing about the great game of chess will take advantage of themselves.
