Books on how to improve your results over the board have been written before but in these changing times when chess has propelled onto the public consciousness, an update is badly needed. Grandmaster Daniel Gormally uses his 25+ years of experience to take the readers through the fires of the tournament cauldron, while illustrating some of his battles with the best players in England.

When Learn from the Legends was published in 2004, the book became an instant classic and Mihail Marin became known as one of the world’s finest chess authors. 

This book aims to give you a wealth of self-study knowledge about handling different types of endings that occur frequently but on which there is not much literature analyzing recent games. Imbalanced material endgames involving rooks are a key focus of the book, covering three-fifths of the material, and all endings in the book feature at least one rook. The vast majority of games are taken from the last few years, including many from 2021-2022. Like the author’s previous endgame book published with Elk and Ruby, 101 Endgame Crimes and Punishments (2020), this one is aimed at strong tournament players (1900-2300 Elo) and fast improving juniors.

Szachy heksagonalne to ciekawy wariant gry w szachy, rozgrywany na sześciokątnej szachownicy z sześciokątnymi polami. Zasady gry zostały opracowane w 1929 roku przez lorda H.D. Baskerville’a, a następnie w 1939 roku ulepszone przez radzieckiego geologa I. Szafrana. Ostatecznie popularność zdobyła odmiana stworzona przez Władysława Glińskiego w 1949 roku i usprawniona w 1953 roku – tzw. heksagonalne szachy polskie. Gra ta zyskała popularność w Wielkiej Brytanii, Polsce, Kanadzie, Stanach Zjednoczonych oraz innych krajach, takich jak Szwajcaria, Francja, Włochy, Węgry, Nowa Zelandia i Niemcy.

This book is about the Nimzo-Indian Classical line 4.Qc2 (also known as the Capablanca Variation) and the 4.Bd2-line, for which basically I could not find an established name.

The Nimzo-Indian Defense has been one of the most trusted defenses against 1.d4.

It combines fast development with a solid pawn structure, control over the center and great flexibility.

The Fritz Powerbook 2024 contains 25 millions opening positions, derived from 1.7 million high class tournament games. Together with each position all relevant information is stored: all moves that were played in the position, by players of what average rating, with what success and performance results. The games from which the Fritz Powerbook 2024 were derived (except the Corr Games) are also included on the DVD or download version.

The variation of the French that starts 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 (or 3 Nd2) 3 ... dxe4 is often called the Rubinstein Variation. It is a great way to simplify the position and ensure that the middlegame battle rewards strategic understanding rather than rote memorisation of opening moves. It is also a very useful weapon to defuse the attacking intentions of aggressive White players who plan an all-out assault in the main lines of the French Defence.
