Forming a correct plan in the middle game is one of the most important aspects of chess and a feature that distinguishes the master from the amateur. The author uses complete games to illustrate which factors influence the selection of a correct plan and how this plan is carried out. In addition he examines the established chess "rules" and how and when they can be broken.

The popularity of books on combinations among chess players has a deeper reason than mere love of the brilliant, the sensational, the unexpected. No doubt this love is an integral part of their attraction, but deeper down there is the realization that the combination is an essential part of the game...

There is no doubt that any chess player who will take the trouble to study Chess Strategy will spend many a pleasurable hour. Incidentally new vistas will be opened to him, and his playing strength increased to a surprising degree.

The large majority of chess players who would like to improve their game, have not the necessary opportunity of pitting themselves against players of master-strength, or at least of obtaining the desired instruction from personal intercourse with them. It is for such players that the present work is intended.

The perfect Chess Strategy ebook prepared by Nasser Baei.

How Not to Play Chess has long been regarded as a classic of a chess literature. It illustrates Eugene Znosko-Borovsky's gift for explaining a difficult subject briefly and yet unhurriedly.

Addressed to beginners and average chess players, it impacts valuable knowledge and gives them a glimpse into the delightfully complex problems of master chess.

In bringing before the chess playing public this account of the matches contested for the highest crown of chess ability, the title of Champion of the World, William Winter (British Open Chess Champion 1935, 1936) actuated by the desire to give present-day players some idea of the colourful personalities who strove for it, their general concepts of play and the conditions under which they fought.

In chess, as in advertising, there are brand names. Few names are honored in chess as that of Troizky, who for more than forty years maintained a magnificent record of unbroken creative activity.

During that time he composed hundreds of these delightful chess endgame studies which are unsurpassable for elegance and subtlety. Troizky is the great artist of the endgame domain, immitable in his skillful manipulation of the chess pieces.

The present collection contains the chess studies that Troizky considered his best. It would be difficult to think of a more enjoyable experience than savoring and enjoying these gems.

Before the Seville Match the players had met each other over the chess board one hundred times exactly, the total score being +13 -12 =75 in favor of Kasparov.

David Bronstein, an outstanding International Grandmaster, once a Challenger himself, illuminates the underlying philosophy of each chess game of this exciting contest.

Enjoy the classic chess ebook "The Art of the Middle Game" by Paul Keres and Alexander Kotov.

Many chess-players know a large variety of openings and understand well the pattern of the endgames - but what happens in the middle? The difficulty of understanding the principles of middlegame play is perhaps best illustrated by the dearth of good chess books on the middle game. They can be counted on the fingers of one hand...

The fifth World Chess Championship match between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov (New York - Lyon, 1990) was one of the most complicated in the chess history. The opponents presented the highest level of chess mastership and notable grandmasters hardly discovered the plans and ideas of the world champion and his challenger for title in the press center.

You can find all of 24 annotated games in this ebook.

One should remember that the creative element in chess takes shape in hard-fought battles, in which, apart from talent and knowledge, a player must have the energy and will to win.

There is ample evidence of this in the present book, dealing with the chess career and creative development of the 13th World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov and his contribution to modern chess. The book is interesting because it shows how the chess talent of this brilliant chess player has evolved; how, by strenuous work in chess, he succeeded in overcoming the shortcomings of his play, in improving chess style and in deepening his understanding of the chess strategy and chess tactics.

The international tournament in San Remo, Italy, in 1930 brought together the leading chess masters of Europe. The competition itself was an outstanding triumph for Alexander Alekhine. The games annotations written by Alekhine, Nimzovitch, Spielman, Botvinnik, Ragozin and other great chessplayers. Enjoy!

During the Plymouth Congress in August 1948 I met Mr. J du Mont, then editor of the British Chess Magazine, who suggested that I should write a book on the lines of the present volume.

His idea was to give practical player some guidance as to how to proceed in a game from the point where the books on opening theory leave off. The result is the present volume...

Max Euwe

The classic chess book "The Ideas Behind The Chess Openings" by Reuben Fine added.

It has been said that ideas are weapons. That is certainly as true in chess as in any fields. A mastery of a little theory which conveys real understanding of the game is infinitely more valuable than a carefully memorized compilation of endless moves.

Reuben Fine

A review of interesting book of Viorel Bologan the "Stages, or How to become grand master" is added.

Rare guests on the shelves of shops become now the autobiographies of the strongest grand masters of the world. There is not time to write similar creative "selfreports", and bread of chess man of letters now is not very abundant. However Moldavian-Moscow (he talks about this division in the work) Viorel Bologan found time and forces, and main is a desire, and wrote the very interesting book "Stages"...
