In chess, as in repair or construction jobs, you will not get very far without the right equipment. If you want to win more games you simply need the right tools. Unfortunately, most amateur chess players have no toolbox to speak of. What’s more, they don’t even know which tools they actually need. Or what tools are available. If a chess hardware store would exist, most amateur chess players would be clueless what to ask for.

International Master and experienced chess trainer Thomas Willemze is the handyman you are looking for. He tells you which are the most urgent problems that need fixing. In his no-nonsense guide, Willemze presents essential techniques on how to mobilize your pieces in order to gain the upper hand.

Jak powinien trenować początkujący szachista, który poznał zasady królewskiej gry, ale już na początku swych partii wpada w kłopoty?

Co grać, kiedy nie wchodzą w rachubę uniwersalne i szeroko rozpracowane obrony sycylijska i francuska?

Jakie stosować otwarcia czarnym kolorem przeciwko najpopularniejszemu ruchowi 1.e2-e4!?  

Magnus Carlsen’s brilliant endgame play has been one of the key reasons for his success. At the age of 13 the Norwegian became the youngest grandmaster in the world, at 19 the youngest number one in the FIDE world rankings, and at 22 the second youngest World Champion in history.

The Caro-Kann Defence arises after the moves 1 e4 c6. With this first move Black (as is also the case with the French Defence - 1 e4 e6) plans 2 ... d5, establishing a well-protected central pawn. The Caro-Kann has a reputation as a rock solid defence that minimises the risk of Black being subjected to undue early pressure. Rather than inviting the opponent to engage in immediate warfare, Black focuses on completing development comfortably and postponng the serious battle until the middlegame. It is notable that the White systems which try to batter the Caro-Kann into early submission are highly double-edged and often rebound badly.

Two books from the Chess Secrets series brought together in one volume.

Chess Secrets is a series of books which uncover the mysteries of the most important aspects of chess: strategy, attack, classical play, opening play, endgames and preparation.

When released in 2002, the first volume of The Magic of Chess Tactics by FIDE Master Claus Dieter Meyer and German Grandmaster Karsten Müller was extremely popular. It was one of the first books to deal with tactics on high level. Like the first book, intended for advanced (Elo 1800+) players, this second volume puts special tactical motifs and themes under the analytical microscope.

У вас есть ограниченное время на изучение шахмат, и большая его часть уходит на зубрежку дебютных вариантов? Вот решение: удивите своего оппонента с первых же ходов с помощью дебюта Эльшада за белых!

В новаторской книге опытнейшего тренера и мастера Игоря Немцева предлагается шокирующий подход к игре белыми в дебюте. Король белых обычно остается в центре, в то время как черный монарх подвергается стремительной атаке.

В книге вы найдете партии, сыгранные против множества сильных шахматистов, в том числе гроссмейстеров А. Морозевича и С. Григорянца. У каждого из вас появится шанс победить абсолютно любого соперника!

Столкнувшись с новыми вызовами, ваш оппонент должен будет полагаться только на свои собственные силы, а не вспоминать глубокую теорию. Играйте дебют Эльшада и испытайте, каково это — играть в свежие боевые шахматы!

Книга по сути является продолжением недавно вышедшей работы, где речь шла о том, как бороться с более сильными соперниками на основе дебюта Эльшада чёрными фигурами. Здесь же речь пойдет о построении своего репертуара на основе дебюта Эльшада белыми! Таким образом, изучив обе книги, вы полностью «закроете» ваш дебютный репертуар против абсолютно любого соперника.

Two great books for players who play the Sicilian Defence and King’s Indian Defence in one volume.

Fighting the anti-King’s Indian by Yelena Dembo

Fighting the anti-Sicilians by Richard Palliser

'I love playing the King's Indian, but no-one ever allows me to reach my favourite opening!' Does this sound like an all too familiar complaint?

There are hundreds of opening books available, full of deep analysis, but many of them fail to explain the reasons for choosing one computer line over another. And how top players distinguish between good and bad opening lines remains a mystery to most of the chess world.

Every chess player loves to win early in the opening. However you should never lose sight of the most important objective of your opening play: the proper development of your pawns and pieces.

That is why this book is more than just an enjoyable collection of traps and tricks. Prolific Russian chess author Nikolai Kalinichenko has collected 700 brilliant miniatures, topical games from a wide variety of players, from World Champions to amateurs. They are selected for their instructional value, and not merely to highlight blunders or accidents.

In his notes Kalinichenko always explains the ideas and plans behind the opening and how play could have been improved. The games are arranged by opening, so the book can be used as a manual. Playing through these exciting games is not just highly enjoyable but will also teach you how to recognize opportunities to ambush your opponent in the first 20 moves. And, reversely, how to avoid such pitfalls in the opening.

With the ideas presented in this well-organized book, the adventurous player will certainly win more games, and more rapidly!
