Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.

Igolomska 12 To my father Vladimir Z hdanov for teaching me how to play chess and to my mother Tamara Z hdanova for encouraging my passion for the game. PREFACE A critical-minded author always questions his own writing and tries to predict whether it will be illuminating and useful for the readers. What makes this book special? First of all, I have always had an inquisitive mind and an insatiable desire for accumulating, generating and sharing knowledge. Th is work is a prod- uct of having carefully read a few hundred remarkable chess books and a few thousand worthy non-chess volumes. However, it is by no means a mere compilation of ideas, facts and recommendations. Most of the eye- opening tips in this manuscript come from my refl ections on discussions with some of the world’s best chess players and coaches. Th is is why the book is titled Yearbook of Chess Wisdom: it is composed of 366 self-suffi - cient columns, each of which is dedicated to a certain topic.

  • Supertournaments Won by Viktor Korchnoi
    Supertournaments won by Viktor Korchnoi Supertournament (as well as Supergrandmaster) is relatively new and dynamic term, invented by the chess community, there is no unequivocally, conclusively definition. It usually means a World Elite Chess Tournament – in status and strength (both!) – and is mostly but not necessarily modeling ➢ an international competition (meaning without national championships even if strong as in the USSR, Russia or U.S.) ➢ an invitational closed contest (all-play-all / round robin) (meaning without Open Festivals held in a swiss system, a highly questionable restriction) ➢ in classical chess otb (meaning no rapid, blitz games and/or (other) combined events; no correspondence chess) ➢ including or excluding official qualification stages for a World Chess Championship cycle (Zonal, Interzonal, Candidate’s tournament or match, Grand Prix; FIDE, GMA, PCA, etc.) ➢ furthermore it is debatable whether tournaments with four or less players (Quadrangulars or Triangulars) should be considered as a type of their own (a so-called Mini-Tournament) *all depends on how you count* More than 60 international invitation grandmaster tournament triumphs in classical chess (supertournaments in terms of modern standards are highlighted in yellow colour, less known tournaments do include a link for the final standings) Bucharest 1954 (winning at first tournament abroad, ahead of Nezhmetdinov, IM title by FIDE) Hastings 1955/56 (winning with F.
