Mikhail Tal: The Shooting Star of Chess
ISBN: 9781843820796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Morphy, Charousek, Pillsbury, Fischer... the history of chess is illuminated by shooting stars who burn briefly across the chess firmament, only to vanish without trace. The parabolic career of the Latvian genius Mikhail Tal conforms all too well to this astonishing pattern. As a virtually unknown student in 1957 Tal swept aside the revered phalanxes of Soviet Grandmasters and ultimately annihilated the Red Czar of Soviet chess himself - Mikhail Botvinnik - all within a mere three year period.

Modern Opening Chess Strategy
ISBN: 9781843821335 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) All too often chess openings books consist of reams of variations and sub-variations and bracketed sub-sub-variations, with no apparent explanation for why a move is chosen or why one path deserves precedence over another. Golombek fought tenaciously against this denigration of his art, for he considered chess an art form. The Grandmaster Emeritus always sought to explain the ideas behind the moves and give the strategic justification for any course of action. For this reason alone Golombek's chief openings manual, reprinted here, will outlive the ephemera which largely characterise rival...
