  • Basic chess endings
    Basic chess endings
    Author:
    Fine

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    Gezalyan

    International Master Tibor Karolyi and FIDE Master Tigran Gozalyan have prepared a major work (in two volumes) about the life and work of the 9th world chess champion Tigran Petrosyan (he held the title from 1963 to 1969).  Volume II (1963-1984) tells about Petrosyan's victory in the 1963 world title match over Mikhail Botvinnik, about the grandiose two-match confrontation with Boris Spassky in 1966 and 1969, about all his candidates' matches after losing the title – against Bobby Fischer, Viktor Korchnoi and other world-class opponents. All tournaments and matches of the second half of Petrosian's chess career are presented, up to his last performances in 1983. The authors subjected 175 complete games and fragments to an in-depth analysis (using modern computers). Not all of them have been deeply studied and commented on before, but even then the book provides a significantly improved analysis. Among Petrosyan’s opponents – world champions and contenders Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Bronstein, as well as Timman, Larsen, Reshevsky, Belyavsky, Polugaevsky, Portisch, Romanishin and many others.

  • Rossolimo system. Sicilian Defence, 2nd edition, expanded and corrected Bologan

    RUB

    Grandmaster Viorel Bologan's theoretical work is devoted to the Rossolimo system in the Sicilian Defense (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5). Once reputed to be harmless to blacks, this scheme has come to the forefront of modern opening theory and is regularly seen in top-level competitions, including world championship matches. Due to the deep positional basis and the absence of long computer options "to a draw" the system moved the continuation 3.d4 into the repertoire of many elite grandmasters. In the Rossolimo system, original pawn structures often appear that require unconventional, deeply thought-out actions. The book is addressed primarily to those who want to use this system for whites. However, and "black" it will also be useful: all the most dangerous schemes for White are considered here, and the lateral variations are easy to study on your own. Decision positions will help you get a better feel for the strategic and tactical intricacies of this system. For a wide range of chess lovers.

  • A Grunfeld - Vedelem Botvinnik
    book

    Monográfiánkat az egyik legaktuálisabb megnyitásnak, a Grünfeld-védelemnek szenteltük. Ezt a védelmet Grünfeld osztrák nagymester vezette be a versenygyakorlatba 1922-ben, vagyis egy évvel az Aljechin-védelem megjelenése után; a két védelem eszmei megalapozásában sok a közös vonás. A Grünfeld-védelemben sötét szintén kihívja a világos gyalog előnyomulását, amely tempóval támadja meg a sötét huszárt, időlegesen átengedi a centrumot, majd ellentámadást indít ellene, tisztjeivel nyomást gyakorol a centrumra, és azt gyalogjaival is igyekszik felrobbantani. A Grünfeld-védelem megjelenése nagy vitákat váltott ki, többen a sakktörvények megsértését látták benne, és ezért a szigorú teoretikusok azt követelték, hogy nyomban döntsék meg a védelmet. A Grünfeld-védelmet azóta sokszor elvetették, majd megjavították, megdöntötték és feltámasztották, és ennek megfelelően elítélték vagy dicsérték.

  • Grunfeld Defense Botvinnik
    book

    Данная монография посвящена одному из наиболее актуальных дебютов - защите Грюнфельда. Эта защита введена в турнирную практику австрийским гроссмейстером Э. Грюнфельдом в 1922 году, то есть спустя год после появления защиты Алехина; по своим идеям обе защиты имеют много общего. Этот дебют в наши дни прочно вошел в репертуар сильнейших шахматистов мира. Настоящая работа ставит своей целью обобщить практический материал самого последнего времени и дать отдельным продолжениям новую оценку. В книгу включены также анализы М. Ботвинника, подготовленные им для соревнований, но так и не использованные в практической борьбе, - они публикуются впервые.  В соответствии с историческим развитием защиты Грюнфельда в данной монографии прежде всего выделены пять основных систем, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на главы и самостоятельные варианты. В конце книги приводятся пояснительные партии. В работе широко использованы последние изыскания ведущих советских и зарубежных шахматистов, которые обогатили защиту Грюнфельда новыми стратегическими идеями. В конце книги читатель найдет пояснительные партии, подробно прокомментированные экс-чемпионом мира М. Ботвинником. Книга рассчитана на шахматистов высокой квалификации.
