Gr.-8°, kart. Zustand: Sehr gut. 174 S., zahlr. lll. Gebraucht: sehr guter Zustand. 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 4La6, 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. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 338.

Tactics time: 1001 chess tactics from the games of everyday chess players Version 1.69 and Last updated June 6, 2013. Alkmaar, The Netherlands: New in Chess, 2013, 141pp., . Everyone knows that the way to improve at chess is to solve tactics puzzles. But why do tactics books make amateurs study grandmaster or master games? How useful is it to analyze games that are unreal for everyday chess players? In the real world of beginning and casual players openings are dubious, positions are messy, material is uneven, and cheap traps and oversights are occurring constantly. Most amateur games are won by rather primitive means, compared to the cool and fancy moves that masters need in order to gain victory. This book only takes positions from amateur games and puts them out there, warts and all. Tim Brennan and Andrea Carson have assembled thousands of games by everyday players, and selected the most instructive tactical examples. If you have limited time and energy to devote to chess, you want to study positions that are happening in games you yourself might have played! ISBN 9789056914387.
