This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Against the widely played Queen s Indian Defense White s most ambitious and most popular choice is the Fianchetto Variation. Since the 1980 s the main response here for Black has been the Nimzowitsch Variation 4 La6, first played in 1925 by the famous theoretician Aron Nimzowitsch, in which Black tries to hinder White s development by attacking the c4-pawn. In this position an ultra-sharp pawn sacrifice for White has in the past few years revolutionized the entire line. White s gambit has been hotly debated in countless games both at grandmaster and at club level. With this book Hungarian Grandmaster Imre Hera enters an area in chess opening theory that is definitely in turmoil. Hera has not written an ordinary repertoire book, his principal goal was to provide a guide through the labyrinth of this exciting variation. Hera concentrates on resources for White and presents countless eye-catching novelties for that side, but he has also given many ways for Black to equalize. Hera has deeply analyzed this topical line and presents his conclusions and recommendations in full, with extensive verbal explanations. Lots of attention is paid to the ideas and plans behind the moves. This rich book will surprise masters and fascinate club players.

  • My System a Chess Manual on Totally New Principles
    My System A chess manual on totally new principles Aron Nimzowitsch Quality Chess www.qualitychessbooks.com Foreword It would be interesting to choose the best chess book from the 20th century. My System by Aron Nimzowitsch would certainly be my favourite, and I think this would be a common choice. According to Mikhail Tal, this book is “full of the elixir of chess youth”. What are the secrets behind the powerful effect My System has on its readers? I think that the magical power of this book can be found in the fact that the author managed to be ahead of his time. Already in 1925 he expressed still relevant modern ideas like prophylaxis, pawn activity, and the blockade. The impulse that originated from Nimzowitsch was so immense that the thinking of chess developed in his direction. If you look at the games of Petrosian and Karpov you immediately find the traces of Nimzowitsch’s “system”. These outstanding chess players developed to perfection the prophylactic style of preventing the opponent’s possibilities. Nimzowitsch’s mark is recognisable to some extent in every top player. When I contemplate the later games of Kasparov, I am convinced that many of his decisions are based on purely prophylactic grounds. Nimzowitsch did not write a simple handbook of opening lines, but a manual of chess. The opinions, ideas, and generalisations that he describes gave rise to a true revolution, whose consequences we can correctly evaluate today. Artur Yusupov From the publishers When we decided to publish a new edition of My System our primary intention was to produce an updated translation.

  • Karlsbad Series
    Karlsbad series Extended reprint from the great original HEALTH RESORTS by Jan van Reek (1945 - 2015), www.endgame.nl (inactive). There were four famous Carlsbad chess tournaments, in 1907, 1911, 1923, and 1929, under the excellent supervision of Viktor Tietz, Senior Tax Inspector and President of the Carlsbad chess organization. Viktor Tietz (Photo: Wikipedia) Prior, Karlsbad already hosted a match between Albin and Marco in 1901 (full story: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=88083), and another match between Janowski and Schlechter in 1902. The same year, in 1902, Viktor Tietz himself won a Triangular above 2. David Janowski, and 3. Moritz Porges, played in Karlsbad. Karlsbad (Carlsbad), today Karlovy Vary, is a famous central-European spa and resort. It was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918, then part of Czechoslovakia, today: Czech Republic respectively, and called Karlovy Vary. Karlovy Vary or Carlsbad (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkarlovɪ ˈvarɪ] ( listen); German: Karlsbad; Karlsbad) is a spa town situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the קרלסבאד :Yiddish approximately 130 km (81 miles) west of Prague (Praha), near the German-Czech border. It is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River), and the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic.

Xabcdefgh WHITE SAYS: If you want to put your Bishop there it's fine by me. You'll probably have to exchange it off when I'll have the advantage of the two bishops. I'll play to control e4 and open up the position for my bishops. Who knows, I might even have the chance of a King-side attack. BLACK SAYS: I'm quite happy to exchange off my Bishop for your Knight to keep control of e4. I'd like to double your pawns at the same time, giving me a positional advantage. I might keep the position closed so that my knights are better than your bishops, or I might open the position to attack your weak pawns. If you avoid doubled c-pawns I'll have a lead in development and perhaps catch your King in the centre. In this lesson we look at three openings starting 1. d2-d4 Ng8-f6 2. c2-c4 e7- e6. In these openings the immediate battle is for the e4 square. White's most direct third move is Nb1-c3, with the threat of e2-e4, dominating the centre. Now Black can contest the e4 square by playing Bf8-b4, PINNING the Knight. This is the NIMZO-INDIAN DEFENCE, named after Aron Nimzowitsch. White can avoid the pin by playing 3.

In his peak years the Latvian-born maestro was ranked third in the world behind Capablanca and Alekhine. His greatest successes were first place in Dresden in 1926 (8½/9, one and a half points ahead of Alekhine) and Carlsbad 1929 (15/21, ahead of Capablanca, Spielmann and Rubinstein).However, Nimzowitsch will first and foremost be remembered as the founder of the Hypermodern movement and the author of the undisputed classics My System and Chess Praxis. In his first book, he expounded his theories of prophylaxis, blockades and much more, while providing ground-breaking insights in pawn-structures. In the sequel Nimzowitsch demonstrated how he had successfully tested his theories in his games.Nimzowitschs masterpieces are unique landmarks in the history of chess. Without reading Nimzowitsch your chess education cannot be complete. Perhaps not all of his convictions have stood the test of time, but even today, any chess student will deepen his understanding and broaden his play while enjoying the authors insights and witticisms.Part of the charm of Nimzowitschs prose was his idiosyncratic use of the German language, which has carefully been preserved in Robert Sherwoods new translation.Bonus: Added are the influential essays The Blockade and On the History of the Chess Revolution 1911-1914.

  • Mastering Closed Positions” by GM Davorin Kuljasevic
    ICC presents “Mastering Closed Positions” by GM Davorin Kuljasevic The Internet Chess Club presents Mastering Closed Positions by GM Davorin Kuljasevic This is a guide that comes with the video course “Mastering Closed Positions”. To watch the videos, click here. How many times have you found yourself in a closed position, with no idea about how to proceed? Yeah, I know. This is why the ICC, with the collaboration of GM Davorin Kuljasevic, brings you a brand-new video course: "Mastering Closed Positions". ICC presents “Mastering Closed Positions” by GM Davorin Kuljasevic GM Davorin Kuljasevic Many players have problems understanding and playing properly in closed positions. Sometimes you can hear them say: ‘’I don’t know what I am doing in closed positions’’ or ‘’I am not good at maneuvering.’’ – I know the feeling because I had the same issues once and had to work on understanding such positions better. The idea of this video series is to give you some ideas, strategies, and techniques that should help you understand closed positions better. The main thing is that closed positions require a different kind of thinking compared to open or semi-open positions which we get in most games and which most people prefer. ‘’I go here, he goes there’’ kind of thinking rarely works in closed positions – one should modify their thinking from concrete to abstract (which is what a lot of people fail to appreciate, so they start playing move-to-move without a clear plan, or try to force the position open at any cost). Abstract thinking means that we think in ideas, plans, and maneuvers, rather than concrete variations.
