Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The FastTrack to Endgame Expertise! Since it first appeared in 2003, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual has been acclaimed as the best single volume ever written on the endgame. With staggering depth and accuracy, it clearly reveals the secrets of this most important stage of the game. One of the unique characteristics of the Endgame Manual has been the highlighting of text considered to be essential to the understanding of endgame theory. The late, great trainer Mark Dvoretsky carefully selected the text to be highlighted so that players at all levels could benefit from this monumental work. Now in its fifth edition, the 440-page manual may seem somewhat intimidating to some readers. With that in mind, German grandmaster Karsten Müller and American grandmaster Alex Fishbein - both recognized endgame experts in their own right - have collected the highlighted text from the fifth edition and presented it so that the core concepts might be more readily available. The result is Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition. As noted by Australian grandmaster Ian Rogers in his foreword: I am very pleased that Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition has come along. It is eminently suitable to sit in an amateur player's library as their only endgame book, and equally good at preparing a serious student for many other fine endgame books - not forgetting of course the storied father of this volume, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual. If you are serious about studying endgames, have a limited amount of time, or are simply looking for a convenient way to improve your play in endgames, the FastTrack Edition may just be the book you have been looking for.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 100 Years Later, Nimzovich Is Still Good for Your Chess! Almost a century ago, a chess book about positional play and strategic concepts appeared on the chess scene. Written by a Latvian grandmaster residing in Denmark, it quickly took its place as one of the classics of chess literature. Since then, Aron Nimzovich's magnum opus My System has been embraced by every generation of chessplayers. However, there were some inherent flaws. For starters, it was quite "dense." The reader had to plow through many subjective digressions and other literary detours before getting to the core concepts. Now American Grandmaster Alex Fishbein has adapted this classic for the modern chessplayer. While remaining true to the original text - and with the same goals as his outstanding work with the FastTrack Edition of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual - Fishbein has produced an eminently readable, modernized version of My System. The result is a book that not only retains the unique imagery of the original text, but a book that is also easy to understand by both club players and masters. As the author stated in his preface: "Nimzovich's ideas have stood the test of time and, if anything, are more relevant today. In his famous foreword to the Russian edition from 1974, Mikhail Tal wrote: 'This old book, sustaining many editions in different forms and different languages, is imbued with an elixir of eternal chess youth.' My aim was to retain that elixir in this new translation." "Alex brings you the best of Nimzovich's My System, erasing all misconceptions. As a newcomer to the game, you will feel blessed to learn pure, unmistakable strategies, while if you are an old chap like me, you will appreciate the fresh clarity, helping you re-evaluate your personal chess philosophy. Nimzovich is good for your chess, and a more coherent Nimzovich even better." - From the Foreword by GM Vassilios Kotronias Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
