Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Game Diagrams (illustratore). 1st Edition. 39 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. Here is a new surprise weapon in the venerable Spanish Game (Ruy Lopez). This is the most popular double King Pawn opening and has been analyzed for hundreds of years. It would seem to be extremely difficult to introduce a new idea on only the fourth move of this defense, but the authors demonstrate the practical value of this innovation through analysis and the presentation of examples of the variation from tournament, match, and correspondence play. Most lines of play resulting from the thrust 4. d5 in the Cordel Defense lead to early exciting tactical skirmishes with ample opportunity for the unwary or unprepared opponent to go astray into quick defeat. Nine complete annotated games are supplemented by 21 additional games incorporated into the analytical part of the book. Condition: Edge wear else very good.

Chuck Chandler arrives in Key West, as many people do, at the end of his rope. He has, in turn, blown a career as a top tour tennis professional and a series of teaching jobs at plush clubs, usually because he has been unable to keep his hands off his female students. At Key West's Olde Island Racquet Club, he yields to temptation once again, this time for the beautiful Clare Carras, who is married to an enigmatic older man with no apparent past and who turns out to be a great deal more than the tennis pro can handle. Suddenly, the easygoing Chuck is in over his head, suspected of murder and on the verge of losing not only his modest career and all his possessions but his freedom as well.

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. viii+242 pages with diagrams and indexes. Royal octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Second edition. The King's Indian Defence is a common chess opening. It arises after the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 Black intends to follow up with 3.Bg7 and 4.d6 (the Grünfeld Defence arises when Black plays 3.d5 instead, and is considered a separate opening). White's major third move options are 3.Nc3, 3.Nf3 or 3.g3, with both the King's Indian and Grünfeld playable against these moves. The Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings classifies the King's Indian Defence under the codes E60 through E99. The King's Indian is a hypermodern opening, where Black deliberately allows White control of the centre with their pawns, with the view to subsequently challenge it. In the most critical lines of the King's Indian, White erects an imposing pawn centre with Nc3 followed by e4. Black stakes out their own claim to the centre with the Benoni-style .c5, or .e5. If White resolves the central pawn tension with d5, then Black follows with either .b5 and queenside play, or .f5 and an eventual kingside attack. Meanwhile, White attempts to expand on the opposite wing. The resulting unbalanced positions offer scope for both sides to play for a win. Condition: Corners bumped else near fine.
