Paperback. Condizione: New. The World Championship Candidates' Tournament of 1950 marked a fresh phase in the history of the world title. Hitherto, the champion had chosen his challenger, of course bearing in mind such pressures as public opinion and prize purses on offer. Now, after the interregnum caused by the death of Alekhine as incumbent in 1946, FIDE, the World Chess Federation, instituted a regular series of qualifying events to determine the rightful challenger to the chess throne. Budapest 1950 was to be Bronstein's finest hour: coming from behind he caught his imperturbable compatriot Boleslavsky at the finishing post and then squeezed ahead of him in the play-off. The notes to this great event, which also featured such immortals as Smyslov, Keres, and Najdorf, are by the British publishing pioneer Cordingley, while the comments to the tie-breaking match are furnished by the world champion of chess journalists, Grandmaster emeritus Harry Golombek OBE, based on his insights for the British Chess Magazine. As we know, Bronstein advanced to challenge Botvinnik for the world title, but faltered at the final hurdle.That epic clash is covered in the companion Hardinge Simpole volume, World Chess Championship 1951, by William Winter and R.G. Wade, ISBN 1843820846 This mighty clash between the top two Soviet Grandmasters was Botvinnik's first title defence after becoming World Champion in 1948. Amazingly, the man who had dominated Soviet and World chess was only able to defend his title by the skin of his teeth after a most ferocious and determined onslaught from his youthful challenger David Bronstein. The controversial 23rd game where a demoralised Bronstein may have resigned prematurely was the key to Botvinnik's ultimate success. This book was written by two expert eye witnesses, former British Champion and International Master William Winter, and Bob Wade, International Master, vice-president of FIDE, the World Chess Federation, and later to be awarded the OBE for services to chess and chess education. Together these two acknowledged experts of the game give a thrilling first hand account of the intense intellectual drama of one of the most evenly fought battles in chess history.…

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Publication: London, G. Bell & Sons Ltd, 1945 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 88. Condition Report: Good. The original light brown cloth binding remains firm and structurally sound, sitting squarely with uncracked hinges and a tightly bound text block. While the boards maintain their original colour, they exhibit moderate shelf-wear, most notably typical fraying and minor cloth loss to the head and tail of the spine. The front board bears a few faint, superficial blemishes and handling marks, yet the black spine lettering remains distinct and unrubbed. Internally, the pages present remarkably well; they are bright and crisp, entirely avoiding the heavy foxing or browning that often affects wartime-era paper, making this a highly legible and sturdy copy. Catalogue Note: This 1945 issue constitutes the Second Edition of Cordingley's highly regarded instructional text, following the original edition published just a year prior. It is thoroughly illustrated throughout with black-and-white chess diagrams detailing 250 distinct master-game positions. Printed during the tail end of the Second World War when paper rationing strictly limited British publishing outputs, the survival of these practical manuals in such unblemished internal condition is increasingly uncommon on the open market. The volume retains a clean aesthetic, free from any distracting bookplates, marginalia, or previous ownership signatures. A true mid-century staple of chess literature, The Next Move Is. invites enthusiasts to step directly into the minds of the game's greatest masters. In this volume, E. G. R. Cordingley has expertly curated 250 crucial positions derived from actual tournament play, challenging the reader to identify the winning combinations and tactical sacrifices. Far more than a mere puzzle book, it serves as a rigorous training ground for developing pattern recognition and positional awareness, ensuring its methods remain as relevant to today's aspiring club player as they were upon its original release.
