SlavChess — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:41:55 +0300

Пятитомник Гарри Каспарова не имеет аналогов в шахматной литературе: 13-й чемпион мира размышляет о судьбах и творчестве двенадцати предыдущих чемпионов и их соперников, о полуторавековой борьбе за мировое первенство. Исследуя знаменитые партии под микроскопом мощных компьютерных программ, автор меняет многие прежние оценки и, в сущности, подытоживает развитие шахмат в ХХ веке. Настоящий том посвящен "некоронованным королям" прошлого и первым четырем официальным чемпионам мира - Стейницу, Ласкеру, Капабланке и Алехину.

«Сицилианская защита. Вариант Рубинштейна: 1. е4 с5 2. Kf3 Kf6», Богда

SlavChess — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:06:30 +0300

На карте современной шахматной теории есть "темное пятно" - система Рубинштейна в сицилианской защите (1. е4 с5 2. Kf3 Kf6). Каждый о ней что-то слышал, но толком никто ничего не знает. Чрезвычайно скудна литература, посвященная этой теме. Пара-тройка статей, несколько брошюр, одна давнишняя монография (на немецком языке) и всё.
Книга международного мастера Григория Богдановича восполняет этот пробел. Автор, признанный специалист по Системе, суммировал, обобщил и по полочкам разложил свой многолетний опыт в данной области. Его взгляд субъективен - но этим и ценен. Его выводы парадоксальны, но они, что называется, "цепляют" читателя, не оставляют его равнодушным. С ним хочется спорить - но Систему в его изложении хочется изучать и играть.

"Вопросы современной шахматной теории" Липницкий И.

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:56:06 +0300

Прочтя первые пятьдесят страниц этой книги, читатель может сказать: "Так вот оно, значит, как..." Прочтя еще пятьдесят, скажет: "Так-то оно так, но...", а перевернув последнюю страницу, недоуменноразведет руками: "Так как же?!"
Книга-легенда. Книга - из тех, что будят мысль. Книга, о которой с уважением отзывались Фишер и Ботвинники. Книга, без которой невозможн представить развитие шахматной теории XX века.
В книге исправлены имевшие место в первом издании ошибки и недочеты. Также устаревший на сегодня раздел по защите Рагозина заменен на лучшие пратии И. Липницкого с его собственными комментариями.
Книга прошла компьютерное тестирование "по Каспарову".

"Дебют ферзевых пешек" Том 2 Карпов А., Калиниченко Н.

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:24:37 +0300

Классика классике рознь. Есть классика музейная, наподобие тех мертвых языков, которые все еще изючают, но на которых уже никто не говорит. А есть классика живая, вечно обновляющаяся; есть "языки", на которых каждое следующее поколение "говорит" по-своему, обогащая и передавая своим потомкам.
Шахматы в целом и теория дебютов в частности не являются исключением из общего правила. Дебютные системы, названные в честь Цукерторта, Торре, Колее, были актуальны сто лет назад - и не потеряли своей актуальности доныне. Сильнейшие гроссмейстеры нашего времени проверили их "лазерным лучом" мощных компьютерных программ. Ненужное отбросили, полезное закрепили, сделав пригодным для массового изучения и использования.
Об этом - второй том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек". Дебюта, который не устареет никогда.

"Дебют ферзевых пешек" Том 1 Карпов А., Калиниченко Н.

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:22:31 +0300

В этой книге многое сделано впервые. Впервые (по крайней мере на русском языке) дан подробный и качественный анализ системы Вересова 1. d4 d5 2. Kc3. Впервые карта мин и ловушек в "садово - парковом" гамбите Блэкмара-Димера предстанет перед читателем в полном формате, без купюр. Оригинальная идея Левитского 1. d4 d5 2. Cg5 также не осталась без вдумчивого и кропотливого анализа, выносимого на читательский суд.
От читателя по большому счету требуется только одно: желание. Желание избежать заезженных вдоль и поперек схем ферзевого гамбита, желание попробовать что-то новенькое. Прочь, шаблонная игра! Если таковое желание есть - первый том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек" станет незаменимым помощником на пути к яркому творческому эксперименту. И победам!

"Тайны мышления шахматиста" Котов А.

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:02:19 +0300

Книга выдающегося гроссмейстера и блестящего популяризатора шахмат Александра Котова уже давно обрела культовый статус. Рассказывая о принципах позиционной и комбинационной игры и иллюстрируя их примерами, автор не ограничивается объяснением, почему хорош или плох тот или иной ход. Он еще и показывает сам процесс рождения грандиозных замыслов в голове гроссмейстера, а также направляет мощный исследовательский луч на темные уголки мозга, из которых порой выползают губящие эти замыслы нелепые ошибки. Удивителен и тон книги - доверительный, построенный на откровенном изложении не всегда гладко причесанных мыслей.
Что помогает сильному шахматисту проникнуть в глубины позиции и составить верный план игры на много ходов вперед? За счет чего ему удается точно и далеко рассчитывать головоломные, ветвящиеся варианты? Какие средства он использует, чтобы избежать поспешных необдуманных решений? Котов обстоятельно отвечает на эти важнейшие вопросы, а в конце книги дает рекомендации общего плана, представляющие особую ценность для молодых шахматистов.
Используя советы Котова, не одно поколение любителей шахмат научилось дисциплинировать свое мышление и лучше понимать игру. Теперь ваша очередь, дорогой читатель!

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:54:27 +0300

Может ли в шахматах быть что-то, что больше единицы в турнирной таблице? Безусловно. Но что? Что?!
Красивая идея, приближающая шахматы к искусству.
Глубокий анализ, ставящий игру вровень с наукой. Но прежде всего - изумление!
Изумление перед той жизнью, что, зарождаясь на расчерченной в черно-белую клетку доске, уводит нас далеко от нее. И не торопит к возврату.
Новая книга известного шахматного журналиста и международного мастера Ильи Одесского - об этом. Точка опоры - первый ход b2-b3.
Инструменты - слова, варианты, ассоциации. Предмет повествования - изумительная жизнь; спектакль, разыгрываемый деревянными фигурами-актерами, по нашей прихоти и воле...

"Учебник-практикум для будущих чемпионов" Том 2 Дворецкий М.

SlavChess — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:48:02 +0300

2-й том посвящен очень важной, но малоисследованной в мировой шахматной литературе теме — психологической борьбе. На страницах книги разворачивается захватывающая аналитическая дискуссия между автором, игроками, комментаторами — и, зачастую, компьютером. С помощью многочисленных упражнений, читатель получает возможность глубоко проникать в тайны игры, учится принимать правильные решения, учитывать психологические факторы и управлять своими эмоциями.
Для прогресса в шахматах на высоком уровне сегодня необходимо научиться анализировать особенности собственного мышления, поведения за доской, выявлять свои слабости, недостатки, и избавляться от них. Большинству, даже сильным игрокам, нелегко дается такой самоанализ. Здесь неоценимую помощь вам окажет общение с высококвалифицированным тренером, который в этой книге щедро делится с читателями рекомендациями и советами.

Beating the King's Indian and Benoni by A.Vaisser

SlavChess — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:37:06 +0300

Reviewed by Jeremy Silman

While preparing Tal Shaked for a big game in Spain last year, we noted that his opponent played the Four Pawns Attack against the King's Indian Defense. This pleased us at first, but once we started looking at the analysis of this system we realized that things were not as simple as we had hoped. Indeed, it appeared to be far from easy to equalize (and I'm ashamed to admit that poor Tal suffered a defeat in this contest)!

Now Vaisser, one of the greatest experts of this line, has written an analysis-heavy book where he claims to have offered up all his secrets and unused novelties. Though I don't feel that players below expert-strength (2000 and above) should study this book (too complex and too many lines that have to be reevaluated), I must admit that the Four Pawns Attack might prove to be an excellent choice in a situation that pitted a 2300 player against an IM or GM. The lines are rich and sharp, the theory is extremely dense, and the slightest misstep by the Black player could easily lead to a tasty upset.

Not being an expert on this line, I got the following impression from a casual glance: After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f4 0-0 6.Nf3 c5 7.d5 e6 8.Be2 exd5 9.cxd5 White has real chances for an advantage if Black tries 9...Bg4 or 9...b5. I was far from convinced, however, that White was doing well after the critical 9...Re8. Strangely enough, most KID players appear to avoid this move simply because they consider it too dangerous and too complex. This is where personal strength comes in: you have to be able to look at the author's suggestions and tear them apart. A trusting attitude won't serve you well here!

Mr. Vaisser gives an enormous amount of material (crammed into only 144 pages) and offers many new ideas. This makes the book very valuable to KID players and to 1.d4 players. However, sometimes he stops an analysis a bit too early, sometimes he offers up a smokescreen that makes it hard to properly assess a situation, and sometimes he is just a bit too partial to White's chances (after all, he's been playing this line with great success for 30 years!).

Nevertheless, these minor flaws should not distract you from the fact that this book is an important and much needed work on a line that has never been easy to get a handle on. Though this kind of book is nothing more than worthless gibberish for the average class player, it is highly recommended for professionals and semi-pros. A very worthwhile buy!

Manual of Chess Combinations vol. II, S. Ivashchenko

Product Information

pages: 255, Moscow

Author's preface: You have already studied The Manual of Chess Combinations and can solve simple exercises in which the goal can be reached after 1-3 correct moves. It is time now for the next step - to learn and solve more complicated problems, where deeper thought is required. Such combinations and manoeuvres can bring not only victory, but also aesthetic pleasure, and thanks to books and magazines they are stored forever in the treasury of chess. Our new book too includes combinations that have occurred in games by well-known players, including outstanding masters of the past and present. Here there are also many specifically composed positions, not instructional exercises, but artistic compositions called studies. In them, ideas are usually expressed in a cleaner and more memorable form than in practical games.

As in our previous book, instructional material is arranged in sections of increasing complexity. The study of each section can be roughly estimated as adding 100 points to your rating. Thus our book should lead you up the rungs of chess mastery from a rating of 1600-1700 which signifies knowledge of the game rudiments, to a solid level of 2200 points or more, which in practice corresponds roughly to that of a candidate master.

The book concludes the author's 25-year-long work on the creation of chess tactics manual. Of course with tactics alone you will not defeat all your opponents, but without tactics nothing can be done in chess. Tactics are perhaps the most beautiful and attractive side of chess, particularly at the beginning of your studies. I hope that the study of this book will strengthen your desire to learn chess systematically and bring you real pleasure.

English Defence: 1.d4 e6 2.c4 b6 by I. Odessky

SlavChess — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:39:59 +0300

This book is devoted to the paradoxical opening 1.d4 e6 2.c4 b6. It is called the English Defence (not to be confused with the English Opening 1.c4).

By playing 3.e4 White immediately wants to punish the 'disturber of the peace' for his neglect of opening principles, but in this case Black sets his opponent such a variety of mines and traps, that he can gain an advantage, even omitting the equalising stage! One just has to recall the supersharp variation with 3.e4 Bb7 4.Bd3 f5!?

At the present day the statistics after 3.e4 is appalling for White: in 7 out of 10 games he suffers defeat!

The author, not relying on his own store of words, constantly hides behind the ckassics, citing them right and left. Characters form world literature and even departed personalities strive to take an active part in the analysis of variations.

A highly original work from Im Ilia Odessky, with plenty of (new) analysis and clear explanations. The author confesses being inspired by Tony Miles, whose games he states were very suitable for teaching an opening like the English Defence.

Some quotes to illustrate the nature of this book and its author:
"Everything you wanted to ask about A40 but were afraid to ask"

"Even if at the end the opponent can claim a tangible plus, one needs to find a lot of "only moves" in order to survive in the tunnel that is full of various traps and mines"

"..he was confident with his Black opening "because A40 wins", but had some uncertainty with White" - on his favourite pupil Artur Janturin after he taught him the English Defence

Repertoire with Black

Part one features the play of champions Wilhelm Steinitz (1886-1894), Emanuel Lasker (1894-1921), Jose Capablanca (1921-1927) and Alexander Alekhine (1927-1935 and 1937-1946). Part two features the play of champions Max Euwe (1935-1937) Mikhail Botvinnik (1946-1957, 1958-1961 and 1961-1963), Vassily Smyslov (1957-1958) and Mikhail Tal (1960-1961). These books are more than just a compilation of the games of these champions. Kasparov's biographies place them in a fascinating historical, political and cultural context. Kasparov explains how each champion brought his own distinctive style to the chessboard and enriched the theory of the game with new ideas. All these games have been thoroughly reassessed with the aid of modern software technology and the new light this sheds on these classic masterpieces is fascinating.

THE SLAV by Graham Burgess

SlavChess — Tue, 05 Aug 2003 10:05:15 +0300

THE SLAV (Graham Burgess) The Slav's great popularity is due to its extreme solidity and abundant possibilities for dynamic counterplay. This book provides detailed coverage to help players as both White and Black face the challenges of this tough yet rewarding opening. All lines after 1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 are discussed, except those that transpose to the Semi-Slav. The sharpest tactical lines of the Slav receive especially detailed coverage. These include the critical piece sacrifice in the main line (5...Bf5 6 Ne5 e6 7 f3 Bb4 8 e4 Bxe4), the Steiner line (5...Bg4) with 6 Ne5 Bh5 7 h3, and the possibly dubious but highly dangerous Geller Gambit (5 e4), which was a favourite of the young Kasparov. The trendy ...a6 lines are also covered systematically for the first time in chess literature. 256 pages (210 mm by 145 mm).

THE GAMBIT GUIDE TO THE MODERN BENONI by John Watson

SlavChess — Tue, 05 Aug 2003 09:43:41 +0300

THE GAMBIT GUIDE TO THE MODERN BENONI (John Watson) The Modern Benoni is one of Black's most swashbuckling openings, used to devastating effect by such players as Tal, Fischer, Kasparov and Topalov. From the outset, Black creates extreme imbalance, setting his piece activity and queenside play against White's spatial preponderance and central majority. However, during the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the Benoni fell under a cloud as a result of some very direct attacking systems by White. In this book, John Watson particularly focuses on various subtle move-orders by which Black can try to avoid White's most dangerous systems and direct the game into more palatable channels. King's Indian players will also find this book invaluable, since Watson covers many lines that can arise from King's Indian move-orders. 208 pages (210 mm by 145 mm).

SlavChess — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 11:27:45 +0200

101 ATTACKING IDEAS IN CHESS Grandmaster Joe Gallagher serves up a plethora of ideas to help you root out the enemy king whenever you have the chance. He shows how to mate an exposed king, how to and what to sacrifice, and how to spot key weaknesses. Gallagher also reveals when it is wiser to opt for a positional onslaught, with guidance on the queenside minority attack and other less violent attacking methods. Joe Gallagher is an English grandmaster who has lived in Switzerland for many years. He is a regular member of the Swiss national team. He has established a reputation as a top-class chess writer, in particular for his work on aggressive openings such as the King's Gambit, Sicilian and King's Indian Defence.

SMALL ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF CHESS OPENINGS by CHESS INFORMANT

SlavChess — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:41:08 +0300

Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings You can't and need not know it all. But all you need to know is here. Could a million game database help people to master the openings? Perhaps, if they worked 25 hours a day, had elephantine memories and were able to separate valuable information from the surrounding chaff. Half of century ago, when apart from Hastings there were only two or three international tournaments a year, openings books were based, not on huge numbers of examples, but rather the main ideas from a few games by leading players. The Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings combines this selective approach with today's exhaustive collection of material. The five volume Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings - A, B, C, D, E - consists of 500 sections based on opening codes. Its key quality, unique among openings books, is a system of elimination which helps the reader to find the critical lines in the midst of the abundance of information. The Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings is based on the same 500 fundamental codes and system of elimination but it's a fifth the length. Instead of five books just one! The best and most up to date information. The creative output of generations of chess masters filtered for the reader's convenience. One of the main problems of tournament play is successfully negotating the opening. The Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings gives easy access to clear and reliable information for the numerous chess players who have competitive ambitions but only limited time to dedicate to chess. While for players with greater competitive experience and chess professionals, the Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings offers an ideal repository of information and the exact evaluation of critical lines.

The Game Continues. Chess in the Art of SAMUEL BAK.

SlavChess — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:10:37 +0300

THE GAME CONTINUES: CHESS in the ART of SAMUEL BAK The Game Continues resumes the examination of the metaphor of chess in the work of Samuel Bak. His provocative chess-inspired landscapes illuminate the waste of war in a profaned world, and its impact on the human spirit. Bak's vision of conflict from the ancient to the modern era deflates romantic notions of heroic combat. His shattered chessboards rise dramatically out of a barren terrain, recording a decline in human majesty even as he invites us to reconstrue more fruitful imaginings for human desire. With keen insight and sensitivity, distinguished Holocaust scholar Lawrence L. Langer guides and enriches our understanding of this unusual artist's complex vision. Model 5083
