The best place to start your tactics training is in the endgame! Chess is 99% tactics and if you want to win more games, nothing works better than training tactics. Win a piece or find a mate. That will get you results.Since most of the pieces have left the board, endgame tactics have the clarity that enables you to grasp all basics concepts quickly and comprehensively. In the endgame, you can focus on what is important without any distractions by a couple of random pawns and pieces. In 1001 Chess Endgame Exercises for Beginners, IM Thomas Willemze does two things at once. He explains all the basic concepts, and provides you with a huge amount of exercises for each theme and each chess piece. Willemze uses all his experience as a coach, and his familiarity with the famous Step Method, to carefully build up your chess knowledge step-by-step. He shows you the strength of all pieces, from the lonely pawn to the almighty queen. And he guides you from the basics to more complex tactics in a highly instructive puzzle rush.

Rashid Nezhmetdinov (1912-1974) played fearless attacking chess. With his dazzling style, the Soviet master already was a legend during his lifetime, but international fame largely eluded him. Only once did he get permission to show his exceptional talent in a tournament abroad.Five times Nezhmetdinov was chess champion of the Russian Federation. In the 1961 Soviet Championship, he won the ?Best Game' prize for a spectacular win against... Mikhail Tal who praised his opponent for his ?amazing creativity.' Other stars that ?Nezh' defeated in grand style included Spassky, Polugaevsky, Bronstein, and Geller.His games, full of tactical pyrotechnics, are his legacy and have reached an ever-growing audience. Nezhmetdinov's shocking strategic queen sacrifice, in 1962 against Chernikov, as shown on Agadmator's YouTube channel, has become the best-watched chess video of all time with millions of views.In this book, Cyrus Lakdawala pays tribute to the genius of the enigmatic Nezhmetdinov, a Tatar who grew up as an orphan in the part of the Soviet Union that is now Kazakhstan. In more than one hundred impressive and instructive games and positions, Lakdawala shows how Nezhmetdinov fought for the initiative, how he bluffed and sacrificed, and how he kept his cool to out-calculate his opponents. Lakdawala's lucid writing perfectly matches the power of ?Nezh's' moves. This wonderful collection celebrates Nezhmetdinov as the Greatest Attacker in Chess.

Massin Kevin Labidi, (birth name: Mohamed Karim Labidi), was born in Tunis on August 4, 1966. Raised in a traditional family environment, he experienced the impact of political Islam, which marked the beginning of a significant transformation. Completing his primary education in Tunisia, he later pursued his secondary studies in France. It was during this period that he embraced Shiism before embarking on journeys to Iran and Syria for theological and historical studies. Subsequently, Labidi became involved in the Iranian Shiite political movement. Eventually freeing himself from this influence, he continued his mystical explorations by traveling to various countries in search of knowledge. Under the guidance of Sufi masters, he furthered his studies and developed his own philosophical belief: "Everyone is the master of oneself; no one is the master of others."

"Suffused with atmosphere from the first page to the last" "Abounds with stylistically creative flourishes" It's 1977, and 17-year-old Anise moves with her father to the remote gothic estate, Brackfar Castle. Early one evening, she sees a ghostly murder in the deserted forest near her home. Later, on returning to her bedroom, she discovers a secret cache of letters hidden in the wall, written in 1803 by a young woman named Danaë. These letters open a window onto a two-hundred-year-old crime - the murder of a brother and sister. Ireland's rich and troubled past never dies, as Anise discovers when she falls in love with the mysterious Connor from the village, and they set out to unlock the secrets of her ghost-plagued family home. But is Connor really who he says he is... Suffused in myth and Irish folklore and constructed as two narrative strands that become entwined, Anise uncovers a dangerous world of mystery and murder she thought had long passed. A History of Love and Now expertly blends magical realism with an intriguing murder mystery. "A heartwarming and tragic love affair - a thrilling journey of discovery." "A History of Love and Now is alive with imagination, abounds with stylistically creative flourishes and is suffused with atmosphere from the first page to the last." - The Literary Consultancy "[The] writing is highly accomplished, and [She has] a fascinating double narrative (or triple narrative if you count the folktale). The main setting, 1970s Ireland during the height of the Troubles, is a bold one and works really well - lots of material for plot and character conflict, which makes for a powerful story." - Cornerstones Literary Consultancy "[The] story is incredibly imaginative and unique. [...] [Mink's] writing style is wonderful and so readable." - Blue Pencil Agency Literary Consultants "A thought-provoking look at two fascinating periods of history and the way forgiveness sets us free."

Genna Sosonko is widely acclaimed as the most prominent chronicler of a unique era in chess history. In the Soviet Union chess was developed into an ideological weapon that was actively promoted by the country's leadership during the Cold War. Starting with Mikhail Botvinnik, their best chess players grew into symbols of socialist excellence. Sosonko writes from a privileged dual perspective, combining an insider's nostalgia with the detachment of a critical observer. He grew up with legendary champions such as Mikhail Tal and Viktor Korchnoi and spent countless hours with most of the other greats and lesser chess mortals he portrays.In the late 1980s he began to write about the champions he knew and their remarkable lives in New In Chess Magazine. First, he wrote primarily about Soviet players and personalities, and later, he also began to portray other chess celebrities with whom he had crossed paths. They all vividly come to life as the reader is transported to their time and world. Once you've read Sosonko, you will feel you know Capablanca, Max Euwe and Tony Miles. And you will never forget Sergey Nikolaev.This monumental book is a collection of the portraits and profiles Genna Sosonko wrote for New in Chess magazine. The stories have been published in his books: Russian Silhouettes, The Reliable Past, Smart Chip From St. Petersburg and The World Champion I Knew. They are supplemented with further writings on legends such as David Bronstein, Garry Kasparov and Boris Spassky. They paint an enthralling and unforgettable picture of a largely vanished age and, indirectly, a portrait of one of the greatest writers on the world of chess.

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!

But reading this one volume, your knowledge of this opening and chess, in general, will make a spectacular jump.The Open Sicilian is not a phonebook crammed with computer lines but a textbook full of 21st-century chess wisdom. Saric covers the entire range of Sicilians, from obscure sidelines to the main lines: the Najdorf, the Taimanov, the Rauzer, the Kan, the Sveshnikov, and the various Dragons. His approach, firmly based on the ideas of the English Attack, is very ambitious, and he supports his claims with deep analysis and illuminating and elaborate verbal explanation.Saric has written a book that will serve as a standard work for many years. He offers you the content to be fully armoured against all the intricacies of all the topical Sicilian lines.

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 first chess engines improved our appreciation of the classic games by pointing out the tactical mistakes in the original, contemporary game notes. But the expertise of Matthew Sadler is to uncover the positional course of a game with the help of the second generation of chess engines that emerged after 2018.This book will change your perception of these games' strategic and technical patterns. You will, for example, learn to appreciate and understand a classic Capablanca endgame. And a classic Petrosian exchange sacrifice. And a winning, and then losing, king-hunt endgame between Spassky and Tal. You will see how Larsen already understood the strength of the h-pawn march far before AlphaZero's revelation. The engines offer new strategic ideas and plans that human players have yet to consider. Even the ?the best ever anti- King's Indian player', Viktor Korchnoi, would be amazed by the engine's unique ideas about White's breakthroughs on the queenside.The most instructive games are often those which are more strategic and technical. Using modern engines, the authors have re-engineered a wonderful collection of classic games, generating dozens of positional chess lessons that will help every club player and expert to improve their game.
