Graj jak Magnus Carlsen!

Magnus Carlsen to jeden z największych współczesnych światowych mistrzów szachowych. Wygrał więcej super turniejów niż ktokolwiek inny i nadal jest w najlepszej formie. To jedyny gracz, który wielokrotnie wygrywał mistrzostwa świata w formatach szachów klasycznych, szybkich i błyskawicznych.

Ta książka szczegółowo opisuje jego rozwój jako szachisty i to, jak zdobył kluczowe umiejętności arcymistrzowskie w szachach XXI wieku. Poprzez analizę 60 najważniejszych partii Carlsena pokazuje jego strategie, taktyczne uzasadnienie ruchów i psychologiczną walkę na szachownicy.

Dzięki tej książce:

poznasz procesy myślowe Magnusa Carlsena,

odkryjesz sekrety mistrza,

poprawisz swoją strategię i nauczysz się, jak wykorzystywać psychologię do zdominowania przeciwników.

Będzie to wspaniała lektura dla entuzjastów szachów, zawodników i profesjonalistów o każdym poziomie umiejętności.

Robert James Fischer był niepokornym geniuszem, poświęcając się życiowej pasji, którą były SZACHY.

Nie ulegał utartym schematom, zarówno szachowym, jak i przyjętym normom społecznym. Dlatego jego droga na szachowy tron pełna była dramatycznych zwrotów, wspaniałych zwycięstw, ale i trudno zrozumiałych absencji, aż do rezygnacji z obrony tytułu mistrza świata FIDE.

Do dzisiaj podziwiamy determinację Fischera, zwanego od młodości Bobby, w pokonaniu w pojedynkę, całej dominującej przez dekady szachowej szkoły radzieckiej z wieloma najwybitniejszymi arcymistrzami na czele!

Mecz w Reykjaviku w 1972 roku, gdzie pretendent Robert Fischer pokonał aktualnego championa – Borysa Spasskiego, przyczynił się do niebywałego wzrostu popularności szachów na świecie. A także było to największe wydarzenie w całej historii królewskiej gry, chociaż nazwane tylko „Meczem Stulecia”.

Opis część 1:

Finally this modern classic is back in print!

Ever wondered why grandmasters take only seconds to see what's really going on in a chess position? It's all about structures, as Ivan Sokolov explains in this groundbreaking book.

Winning Chess Middlegames addresses the often ignored but extremely important topic of pawn structures, divided into 4 main types: doubled pawns, isolated pawns, hanging pawns and pawn majorities.

Jan Timman completes an impressive and fascinating trilogy with his collected studies. In Timman's Titans, winner of the 2017 ECF Book of the Year Award, he writes about the world champions he admires. In Timman's Triumphs, he annotates his hundred best games. In Timman's Studies, he offers his collected compositions of endgame studies.

Chess Informant 164 “Freestyle!” presents:

The Trompowsky and Torre Attacks, played regularly at club level, may be quite risky to face if you are not prepared. In this comprehensive treatment of both openings highlighting play from Black’s perspective popular authors Vassilios Kotronias and Mikhail Ivanov, present solid paths to dynamic equality for the second player.

Daily bite-sized puzzles to improve your tactical ability

*365 Steps to Tactical Mastery* offers a practical, tactic-centered approach to improving your chess game. Instead of spending countless hours studying, this book delivers bite-sized lessons and tasks that you can complete daily to enhance your skills over the course of a year. 

The fundamental purpose of Black’s aggressive and provocative move with the d-pawn is to create immediate central tension and to exploit the latent power of the queen on her starting square. Remember Lasker’s observation: “Black’s idea is to make use of the great fighting power of the queen in the opening”. 

All the lines presented in this book are very old, some even dating back to medieval times! Lots of things were known about these systems before chess engines started to become very strong, but now we have completely new ideas from not only a tactical, but also positional, point of view on positions that have simply resurfaced in recent times. The rebirth of these lines has become so popular that during my work on this book I was amazed to see such a level of popularity. To make this book readable I broke some positions into smaller files wherever I could. In all my books I try to present at least the basics of many openings and lines: the problem is that basic knowledge about openings is growing even bigger, and it is not an easy job to comprehend and assimilate all that material. That’s why I have also tried in this book to be as concise as possible. After all, reading a book should not only be an aesthetic/interesting endeavour, but also a practical/useful thing at the same time.

Master the Catalan, an Opening that stands the test of time and style

♟️ Strategic Depth – Offers rich, long-term positional play with strong central control.

♖ Top-Level Endorsement – Played by elite grandmasters like Kramnik, Carlsen, and Giri.

🔒 Solid and Safe – Builds a strong, stable structure with minimal risk in the opening phase.

🧠 Outplay Opponents – Ideal for players who enjoy quiet pressure and deep middlegame plans.

🎯 Target Black’s Weaknesses – Constant pressure on Black’s queenside and long diagonal (g2–a8).

♜ Flexible System – Effective against multiple defenses (1…d5, 1…Nf6), allowing transpositions.

🧩 Easy to Learn, Hard to Crack – Concepts-driven rather than theory-heavy; great for building a repertoire.

The Carlsbad Pawn Structure is one of the most important and instructive pawn structures in chess. It commonly arises from the Queen’s Gambit Declined, Exchange Slav, and other 1. d4 openings, offering a wealth of strategic ideas for both sides. This structure has been studied extensively by many world champions, including Capablanca, Karpov, and Petrosian, due to its rich positional themes.

Beauty in chess manifests itself in different ways. For chess players who are not sophisticated enough, one of the leading aesthetic criteria is probably the value of the offered piece. An experienced player will primarily value the originality and purity of the idea.

The primary goal of this work is not to recount a story or to acknowledge the creative efforts of a friend, although those are satisfying perks I allow myself. This is a theoretical book about a chess variation that (it could not be otherwise) 

Swedish chess legend Ulf Andersson was a positional genius with a crystal-clear style. In his prime, in the 1970s and 80s, he rose to the number 4 spot of the FIDE world rankings because he almost never lost a game and kept scoring wins from quiet positions.

Many decently strong players aspire to become an international master. They see very clearly that the grandmaster title is most likely beyond them but the IM title is one they feel they could achieve, if only...

Mikhail Botvinnik is widely regarded as one of the greatest chess players of all time, in the same league as Magnus Carlsen, Bobby Fischer, and Garry Kasparov. Botvinnik was born in 1911 and died in 1995. He is known as The Patriarch, or the father of the Soviet School of Chess. He was World Chess Champion from 1948 until 1963, with two short interruptions, and later mentored other world champions Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik.

This new book by Mikhail Shereshevsky, one of the most respected chess trainers in the world, is about a very important but little-explored topic: associative thinking. How can a modern chess student avoid drowning in the flood of information? The answer is to stop mechanically memorizing moves and turn on your curiosity. Try to create a vivid image of the technique you are studying and remember it as an association!

Книга гроссмейстера и опытного тренера Александра Галкина посвящена сильнейшей фигуре на шахматной доске – ферзю. На примере эпизодов из партий современных гроссмейстеров (подавляющее большинство партий относится к 2020-2023 годам) и своей гроссмейстерской практики автор пытается обобщить, а где-то даже и уточнить методологию понимания и разыгрывания ферзевых окончаний, а также иных типов эндшпилей с наличием ферзей (ферзя) на доске.
