Szachy > Postęp szachowy
Wersja językowa książki - angielska. The Anand Files offers a detailed insight into the strategies Viswanathan Anand used to win three World Championship matches in a row. It takes the reader behind the scenes to show the inner workings of Team Anand, including pre-game planning and preparing opening novelties, some of which have yet to be used.Meticulously researched over several years, during which the author conducted numerous interviews with members of Team Anand, this book follows Anand and his team of seconds for his dramatic matches against Kramnik, Topalov and Gelfand. The reader will gain a deep understanding of how top chess players work on their game and deal with the stress of elite competition. Over a hundred colour photographs illustrate the story. Michiel Abeln is a FIDE Master from the Netherlands with extensive experience as a chess trainer and as a leadership coach in the corporate world.From the Foreword by Viswanathan Anand: #8220;I love this book. The level of detail is fabulous, and as I read it I felt I was reliving the entire five-year period during which these three matches happened... This is the definitive book on those three matches.#8221;512 pages - Published (hardcover) 20 November 2019Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-78483-067-0Reviews"The book is an absolute page-turner: I read it from cover to cover in a few sittings and I cannot imagine anyone not doing so!The book is beautifully produced, as always by Quality Chess, in a hardback edition with many insider colour photos of the team." GM Matthew Sadler , New in Chess"The immense detail on display would be a marvelous accomplishment were Abeln an internal member of the team, but what makes the work so astounding is that he was not present for any of the events he describes. Through extensive interviews of Anand#8217;s seconds and some impressive detective work, Abeln has produced one of the best match books in the history of chess literature.The Anand Files is a triumph, beautifully written and accompanied by more than one hundred full-color photos. Abeln has done his subject justice and the only flaw in the work is that it ends." John Hartmann , Chess Life (full review)"The Anand Files by Abeln is a massive masterpiece with deep insights into the inner workings and psychology of the team of a World Champion. It is really amazing how much work is required to prevail at the highest level." GM Karsten Müller "If you have ever wondered what it#8217;s like inside the team of a participant in a World Championship match, wonder no longer. Michiel Abeln#8217;s 'The Anand Files' provides a front row seat to Viswanathan Anand#8217;s battles with Vladimir Kramnik, Veselin Topalov and Boris Gelfand through interviews, game analysis, reporting and more... [This] is the rare chess book that can be enjoyed by a wide audience from the armchair warrior to the hard core professional." IM John Donaldson "With over 500 pages, the book is a bold work and it looks beautiful: a hard cover, beautiful paper and photos in colour... For me, The Anand Files has been a fascinating reading experience. It is clear that Abeln has put a lot of work into the book and the result is impressive... I would heartily recommend the book to anyone who likes to read about chess." IM Koen Leenhouts , schaaksite.nl (full review in Dutch)"Anand Files may be my favourite book of the last 20 years." IM David Vigorito "The history of the world chess championship has long been a fascination to me and the contents of this book are extremely interesting. It is wonderful to be able to take the place of a fly on a historical wall to see just how Anand prepared for the three big matches." Sean Marsh , CHESS Magazine

Mat Fraser,Spenser Mestel - HWPO Random House Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Transform your body and mind with the definitive guide to building peak strength, endurance, and speed, from the five-time CrossFit Games champion and Fittest Man on EarthNo matter your level of fitness, no matter if you ve never attempted CrossFit before, this book is your total training manual. Mat Fraser is undisputedly the fittest man in CrossFit history for winning the CrossFit Games an unprecedented five times. A student of engineering, Fraser optimized his body like a machine, and his absolute dedication to the training program he designed for himself is now legendary. For years, every single decision he made was weighed against the question: "Will this help me win?" If the answer was no, he didn't do it. If it would give him even the slightest edge or advantage, he would no matter the cost. Fraser became a master of identifying his weaknesses and then seeking out training methods to improve them, and he's idolized in the fitness community for his relentless pursuit of peak performance. It's not hard to see why he achieved so much success but how is a different question.Throughout his career, Fraser has been highly guarded about his specific training techniques (after all, sharing them would not help him win the CrossFit Games). But with his recent retirement from competition, Fraser is finally ready to open up about his path to the podium. HWPO reveals the workouts, training hacks, eating plans, and mental strategies that have helped make him a champion. It's an incredible resource of elite training strategies, illustrated workouts, and motivational stories, and it's a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's greatest athletes.

Mikhail Chigorin, the Creative Genius: New, Greatly Enlarged Edition
Szachy > Książki New In Chess
Mikhail Chigorin (1850-1908), the father of modern Russian chess, belongs to that select group of exceptionally strong players who never succeeded in winning the World Championship. The defining moment for Chigorin came when he blundered away a winning position in the final game of his second title match against Steinitz. This book provides a vivid account of the life and times of Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin: his rise to chess fame after a difficult childhood, his unfaltering commitment to the promotion of the game in 19th-century Russia, his friends and enemies, and his chess exploits in many countries. Chigorin remains universally admired for his creative and courageous style of play. He always played to win, preferably with dashing attacks. His games consistently featured precise calculation, purposeful manoeuvring, patient exploitation of positional weaknesses, artful defence and even refined endgame play.Today Chigorin#8217;s contributions to opening theory remain significant. He was the finest gambit player of his generation, but it is his pioneering work in the Ruy Lopez, the Queen#8217;s Gambit as well as various King#8217;s Indian formations that has been the most enduring. Mikhail Chigorin, the Creative Genius is a hugely expanded second edition of the games collection published in 1987 (which had only 292 pages). The biographical material, telling the story of Chigorin#8217;s turbulent chess career, now runs to hundreds of pages. Furthermore, 100 extra games have been added, annotated by Chigorin and his contemporaries or more modern grandmasters.FIDE Master Jimmy Adams is a prolific chess author, who has written, translated and compiled a wide range of books on openings, historical tournaments and legendary players. From 1991 to 2010 he was the editor of the English magazine CHESS. GM Raymond Keene, The Times: "A stupendous new book, one of those rare events that represent milestones in chess publishing history." Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine(UK): "The game annotations are a real treat, especially when a number of sources are quoted within a single game (..) I was very familiar with Chigorin the gambiteer, but it was only after reading this book I became fully aware of his terrific endgame skill (..) One of the best parts of the book comes at the very end, in the form of 'Reminiscences of Chigorin's Daughter'. The document paints a vivid picture of her father and his eccentricities, and it is chess gold dust (..) It is hard to see how this book could be improved. To call it a new edition of the earlier book on Chigorin doesn't begin to tell the story of just how much extra material has been included." Fred Wilson, author of '100 Questions on How to Play Chess': #8220;A superbly researched biography on Russia#8217;s greatest 19th century player.#8221; Florian Jacobs, Max Euwe Centre Amsterdam: "A book that reads extremely well (..) A first-rate chess biography for which we must thank the publisher: finally a big book about Chigorin!" IM Gary Lane, Chess Moves Magazine: "A compelling read because Chigorin's story is so amazing with links to poverty, glory and fame."

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A world of invention and skulduggery, populated by the likes of Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla."-Erik Larson"A model of superior historical fiction . . . an exciting, sometimes astonishing story."-The Washington PostFrom Graham Moore, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game and New York Times bestselling author of The Sherlockian, comes a thrilling novel-based on actual events-about the nature of genius, the cost of ambition, and the battle to electrify America.New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history-and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul's client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country?The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society-the glittering parties in Gramercy Park mansions, and the more insidious dealings done behind closed doors. The task facing him is beyond daunting. Edison is a wily, dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal-private spies, newspapers in his pocket, and the backing of J. P. Morgan himself. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous adversary a compulsion to win at all costs. How will he do it?In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison, and with Agnes Huntington, a beautiful opera singer who proves to be a flawless performer on stage and off. As Paul takes greater and greater risks, he'll find that everyone in his path is playing their own game, and no one is quite who they seem.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER"A satisfying romp . . . Takes place against a backdrop rich with period detail . . . Works wonderfully as an entertainment . . . As it charges forward, the novel leaves no dot unconnected."-Noah Hawley, The New York Times Book Review
