Book Description

Alexander Alekhine was one of the most exciting chess players in history with a relentless drive for winning. In 1927 he became the world chess champion by beating the "invincible" Jose Capablanca. This book contains lesser, but not unimportant games, many of them from simultaneous displays where he made short work of his opponent. 59 annotated games.

  • Searching for Bobby Fischer
    Searching for Bobby Fischer is the story of Fred Waitzkin and his son, from the moment six-year-old Josh first sits down at a chessboard until he competes for the national championship. Drawn into the insular, international network of chess, they must also navigate the difficult waters of their own relationship. All the while, Waitzkin searches for the elusive Bobby Fischer, whose myth still dominates the chess world and profoundly affects Waitzkin's dreams for his son.

  • Opening for White According to Kramnik 1.Nf3 - VOLUME 3
    In the first part of this volume, we have analyzed positions of the four knights system (1.Nf3 c5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.g3). It is worth mentioning that starting from the moment our first volume came out of print, the focus of attention in this system has changed radically. The discussion earlier, particularly at a higher level, was centered on the moves 4...d5 and 4...e6, but later 4...g6 began to be played by Black much more often.
