The English Opening arises after 1.c4, and is a great practical weapon for players of all levels. White dictates the opening from the very first move, and often reaches positions where understanding themes and plans is more important than the latest computer-generated analysis.

Are you a parent of a junior chess player who feels that because you don’t know how to play chess, you can’t help your child? Or are you an adult or junior chess player who has taken private chess lessons for years, but feels you haven’t been progressing?
World Chess Champion Max Euwe, who held the title from 1935-1937, is one of the greatest chess players in history. Much has been written about him, and he authored dozens of books himself. But missing was an outstanding collection of games of this 'efficient, man-eating tiger' as the American grandmaster Reuben Fine once called Euwe.

The Russian Boris Spassky was the perfect gentleman. He was a chess genius who became World Champion in 1969. But he was also gracious in defeat after he lost his title to the American Bobby Fischer in 1972 in the Match of the Century.

Лучшие шахматные этюды оказывают огромное эстетическое воздействие и надолго запоминаются, поэтому решение или даже просто разбор этюда представляет собой эффективный метод изучения стратегических и тактических элементов игры. Центральная глава книги – «Этюдные термины и темы», в двух других автор делится собственным опытом составления и решения. В заключение предлагаются для самостоятельного решения 72 этюда на 12 наиболее популярных тем, таких как доминация, крепость и борьба с ней, тактические удары и комбинации и др.
Книга адресована, в первую очередь, достаточно опытным шахматистам, которые имеют пока что поверхностное представление об этюдном творчестве. В то же время она будет полезна и поучительна для тех, кто уже поднаторел в решении и составлении шахматных этюдов.

1-й половины 20-го века Савелия Тартаковера никогда ранее на русском языке не издавалась. По словам самого автора, в ней ему хотелось со-единить «полезное с приятным», т. е. представить читателю полезные сведения в увлекательном изложении. Как видно из оглавления, книга посвящена тематике, владение которой обязательно для шахматистов II-III разрядов. Шахматисты I разряда окинут свежим взглядом уже усвоенные принципы и найдут для себя немало полезного для дальней-шего усиления игры.
Помимо практической пользы (прежде всего) читатель получит не-сомненное удовольствие от изучения как малоизвестных, так и класси-ческих примеров, которые в своем фирменном стиле прокомментировал гуру шахматной литературы.
Варианты проверил с помощью компьютера и внёс необходимые уточнения международный мастер Григорий Богданович, его коммента-рии выделены в основном тексте курсивом.

- Compensation is a chess concept that we only fully understand when we enter the world of serious chess.
- The relative value of pieces is perhaps the most difficult chess concept of all to explain.
- It is one that every player must feel and believe in and can only be accepted with the help of our own practice, and when we feel it come together as though a part of us.
- Why so much talk about such or similar sacrifices? Quite simply because we are afraid! We have been taught, and practice shows and proves the clear fact, that the closer we get to the last part of the game, the ending, the more pronounced a material advantage becomes.
- If in the middlegame we can still hope for sudden turns, for the influence of other pieces, this is negligible in the endgame.
- Maybe less so with tactical sacrifices, where we immediately see what the sacrificer gets in return.
- How can we not accept the rook that the opponent offers us, when there is nothing concrete to see? One or two weaknesses perhaps, but they can be eliminated, and the material advantage and a secure victory in the endgame remains.
Are you ready for new strategic insights about thirty-five of the most fascinating and complex chess games ever played by World Champions and other top grandmasters? Grandmaster Matthew Sadler and renowned chess writer Steve Giddins take a fresh look at some classic games ranging from Anderssen-Dufresne, played in 1852, to Botvinnik-Bronstein (1951) and Geller-Euwe (1953). They unleashed the collective power of Leela, Komodo and Stockfish to help us humans understand what happened in games of fan favourites such as Boris Spassky, Mikhail Tal, Bent Larsen and Bobby Fischer.
The Sicilian Defence is the most attractive and most complicated opening in chess. If you don't play the Sicilian with White or Black, you miss much of the beauty and the challenges our royal game offers. For White 1.e4 players, building a repertoire against 1...c5 should be their priority.
Croatian top grandmaster Ivan Saric is one of today's greatest Sicilian experts. He plays 1.e4 with White and the Najdorf with Black! WithThe Open Sicilian, based on his highly acclaimed Chessable course, he has managed something impressive: a watertight repertoire against the Sicilian of just over 400 pages. But reading this one volume, your knowledge of this opening and chess, in general, will make a spectacular jump.
The Scotch Game is a solid opening that has been tried and tested in practice by some of the strongest chessplayers in the world for more than two centuries. The idea behind the Scotch Game is simple and easily understandable. White eliminates - in a purely mechanical fashion - Black’s e5-pawn which initially impedes his ambition to dominate in the center.
This is very appealing for White, as he controls the direction of the struggle’s development, while Black can only try to keep pace. Furthermore, there are relatively simple schemes in the white repertoire in which it is enough to remember the main plans of both sides and typical maneuvers.
This is the second edition of Vladimir Barsky’s book that first appeared in 2009. The new edition consists of seven chapters dealing with the core ideas and variations of the Scotch, supplemented by 79 Illustrative Games. The authors not only present detailed analysis of all lines but are also careful to discuss the ideas behind the opening. If you already play the Scotch, you need this book. If you don’t, find out what you have been missing.
The English Defence (1 d4 e6 2 c4 b6) is a dynamic, counter-attacking line, initially investigated by English grandmasters. Black aims to set White difficult problems to solve at the very earliest stage of the game. Black’s play is provocative – aiming to lure White into establishing a big pawn centre. This is a risky strategy as White falls behind in development and Black switfly becomes very active. However, if White’s response is more circumspect then Black can often manoeuvre into favourable structures reminiscent of positions arising from the Nimzo-Indian Defence, the Queen’s Indian Defence or even the Dutch.
José González provides an excellent analysis of this complex opening and carves out a powerful repertoire for Black covering all lines after 1 d4. It is possible for White to avoid the "English battle" by playing either 2 Nf3 or even 2 e4 (a rare move for 1 d4 players but seen occasionally). Gonzalez champions an aggressive variant of the Dutch against 2 Nf3 and outlines a simple but effective French Defence repertoire to counter 2 e4.
