A new book (in two volumes) the famous theorist Yevgeny Sveshnikov wrote in collaboration with international master Vladimir Sveshnikov. The book offers an economical and practical repertoire for fast chess and blitz. The authors have sharply narrowed the circle of their debuts, so that readers can learn the options as deeply as possible and can force their opponents to solve specific problems from the first moves. In the second volume, the debut repertoire is proposed for whites after the most aggressive move - 1.e4! The authors analyze in detail four main Black answers - 1 ... e5, 1 ... c5, 1 ... e6 and 1 ... c6. The principle of choosing the debut variants is exactly the same as in the first volume: to sharply cut down on the opponent the choice of possible extensions, and to study his "own" lines very deeply. That is why, for example, among all open debuts, the authors chose the Viennese party: it comparatively rarely occurs in practice and at the same time requires black specific knowledge. The book is addressed to chess lovers, but it will be interesting for professionals, there are many original analyzes and novelties in it.

Dear reader! In your hands is a collection of the most expensive and memorable works of the author & ndash; both written long ago, and lying in the archive for several decades, and born in recent years. My attempts at writing in a variety of literary genres, including poetry, have always amazed and delighted dad & ndash; chess historian Isaac Linder. Strict adherent of chess `` classicism '' and historical realism boldly co-authored a freethinker and, as critics from his beloved 19th century would say, a scribbler. And I must say, 'docking' was successful. I began to write history stories, not without pleasure, and he began to indulge in elegant artistic digressions. For more than a quarter of a century we have perfectly understood and complemented each other & hellip; This book is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the passionate propagandist of chess culture, chess encyclopedist, writer and sage Isaac Maksovich Linder, she & ndash; gratitude and bow to his blessed memory. Among her heroes & ndash; people who, by the will of fate, have linked their lives with Chess.

The classic textbook of the chess master and well-known journalist V.L. Henkin, renamed "1000 Matte Combinations" in the new century, comes out under its original name and again - with the Preface of Michael Tal, with the kind permission of the daughter of the eighth world champion Jeanne Tal. For the new edition, all positions were computer-tested; in general, they with honor passed the test of "time and machine", although some illustrative options were adjusted. Well-chosen examples show typical methods of attacking the king, they are taught to find combinations in the most innocuous positions. All the standard schemes of attack were seriously systematized. The book written in a living language is designed for the widest layers of chess fans. It can serve as a teaching aid for school-age children, but it will also be of interest to adults.

In the book of international master and experienced coach Boris Zlotnik "Middlegame Guide" the classic educational material on the middlegame is presented on the basis of modern tournament practice. A notable feature of the book is the comparison of deep computer analysis with human thinking, – priority is given to the latter if the scores are similar.
Anyone who wants to improve their middlegame play needs to develop a positional sense. The computer is useful, but not sufficient. The important strategic techniques offered in the book will help you find the right direction in the transitional stage from the opening to the middle of the game and will save time when choosing the optimal solution in middlegame positions.
"Middlegame Guide" intended for a wide range of chess players and coaches. High-quality material was collected by the author in the course of all his many years of fruitful coaching and teaching activities. Carefully selected exercises will allow the reader to check the degree of assimilation of the material, which increases the didactic value of the book.

Risk and bluff are indispensable elements of the Great Game. It is they who are dedicated to the new book of the famous grandmaster and experienced coach Vladimir Tukmakov. Why do players risk, and what pushes the big chess players to a desperate bluff! On this and many other questions the author answers usually seriously, sometimes with irony.

The Old Indian protection and protection of the Benoni may seem similar, but they require approaches that differ significantly from each other. Why do white usually attack on the queenside in the Old Indian defense, but in Benoni - on the queenside, and Black behave asymmetrically? When and where should one direct his pawns forward, and in what cases should he rely on a figurative game? Is it possible to prevent the enemy from blocking the position? Do you understand the nuances that completely change the nature of the game? In the book, the author delineates milestones that will help you confidently navigate the forest of possible strategies and options that are typical for these modern debuts. Nimtsovich's idea of ​​a "Qualitative Majority" serves as a "philosophical stone" for the systematic study of plans for both white and black.

Yevgeny Gik published many books devoted to two related topics - "Mathematics on a chessboard" and "Computer chess". In this voluminous volume, he sums up his years of research in both directions. A kind of chess-mathematical "Bible" will be interesting both to chess fans, and lovers of mathematics (serious and entertaining) and computers.

The book of Grandmaster Ilya Smirin & la Starotindi battles & raquo; introduces the reader to the basic ideas of the most ambitious defense against 1.d4. The first-class dynamical chess player shares his experience of playing the Old Indian defense, which he successfully used (it is enough to mention the victories over such chess players as Vladimir Kramnik, Viktor Korchnoi, Alexander Grischuk, Evgeny Bareev, etc.) this defense throughout his career. > The author explains his vision of the main ideas of the Old Indian defense. He details in detail 49 of his best games in this debut, explaining in detail both the original and the "standard" raquo; approaches to solving emerging positions. A large number of additional parts (including in notes) of the author and other chess players helps to better understand the debut ideas.
Each chapter is preceded by a selection of exercises based on the proposed parties.
The book has everything & ndash; and sacrifices, and positional masterpieces, which should make her reading fascinating.

World Champion Magnus Carlsen, answering a question about the methods of improving young chess players, emphasized: “One of the most important skills is pattern recognition: the ability to see typical themes and patterns on the board, characteristic features of a position and the resulting consequences.” This book is dedicated to the development of precisely these skills and abilities: it clearly shows what kind of `` image '' (pattern, typical maneuver, plan) must be recognized in one type of position or another in order to choose the correct plan. We are talking specifically about strategic techniques, and not about tactical ones, like typical mate attacks.

The book is divided into four parts, each of which is preceded by a small preface. The chapters contain at least six examples per template, since repetition is the mother of learning. Self-help assignments will help you better assimilate the material. After studying the book, the typical plans, maneuvers and related ideas presented in it will firmly remain in your memory and will be of great benefit in the upcoming tournament battles.
For a wide range of chess lovers.
