Max Euwe was World Chess Champion in the 1930s and he collaborated with International Master Kramer to write this great treatise on how to play chess middlegames. Book II of the series examines the initiative, the different types of attack on the king, the art of defense, maneuver and liquidation, and the common failings over the chessboard to which even great players are occasionally subject. Their theme is lavishly illustrated by master games. The final part of this book is devoted to a survey of the personal styles of thirty-eight grandmaster and World Champions from Anderssen to Petrosian, from Morphy to Tal and Fischer.

In this volume, the former World Champion and his collaborator complete their study of middle game theory. It is a classic, unlikely to be superseded and is an essential addition to the library of every serious student.

  • Russian Silhouettes
    New, Enlarged Edition
    The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked the end of a unique chapter in the history of chess. With hindsight we can only marvel at the pivotal place the royal game occupied in the biggest country in the world. Originally embraced by Lenin as 'gymnastics of the mind', chess developed into an ideological weapon during the Cold War. Supported by the Soviet leadership, chess champions, from Mikhail Botvinnik on, grew into symbols of socialist excellence.
