Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'The Duel', Alessandro Bossi and Claudio Brovelli go deep into the lives ofthese two legendary World Champions, who have left their mark in an unforgettable manner on their epoch (the first forty years of the 20th century) and whoremain in part, due to their very different personalities and relationship withthe game inimitable examples for all the chess-playing generations to come.The choice to present in parallel the two biographies (in my opinion quite rightlyso), shows clearly and effectively similarities and differences, not only in the styleof play, but also in the approaches to life of the two protagonists.With very precise historical descriptions and presenting the events in chronological order, the authors accompany us on a journey alongside the lives of thesetwo legends of chess. In this fashion the personalities emerge, in many ways antithetical but equally fascinating: Capablanca, friendly and charming in societyprecocious, genial and nearly invincible on the chessboard, and Alekhine, whocombined a wonderful talent with a capacity for work, a competitive attitude andan energy which was truly enviable.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Welcome to Volume 2 of Cheparinov's 1.d4!.In the second part of the series, I amsharing my knowledge about the Slav Defense. I am confident that the bookcontains many new and interesting ideas and I have tried to provide you with thebest practical options. Objectively speaking Black looks good in many lines butin practice things may look different. While I cannot promise you a bigadvantage in each line, I do believe you will have the best practical chancesduring the game.Writing the second volume was verychallenging for me. The Slav encompasses a wide but solid body of theory. Blackhas plenty of options and finding advantages and practical chances was not easyat all. In any case I believe that chess players from amateurs to very strongplayers will appreciate this book. While the Covid pandemic gave me a lot offree time to concentrate on the book, I am very happy to see that manytournaments are back. This means that my book can be useful, and you mayactually be able to apply some of the ideas in your games.The best way to use this book is to first examinethe lines on an actual board and then check them with an engine. I hope thismethod of study increases your understanding of the positions that arise fromthe Slav. This book can be a very important starting point for building your1.d4 repertoire.Ivan CheparinovMarch 2022.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Volume 2 is divided into eight chapters. Unlike Volume 1, it is possibleto mix the order in which you study these chapters , but not to study the gameswithin each chapter out of order, since the examples build upon each other incomplexity. I suggest that the chapter on "Passed Pawns" should be studiedfirst, because many of the various middlegame structures can ultimately giverise to a passed pawn in the endgame. Work carefully through these examplesbecause masters use pawn structures even in the opening to predict the propertiesof endgames which can potentially arise this is a widely neglected aspect andcan be a strong weapon for you!
