Black is Back

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

Many chess players act intimidated and overly cautious when they have the Black pieces. They are so preoccupied with White#8217;s advantage of the first move, that their predominant urge is to defend against possible threats and to safeguard their position.With his iconoclastic Black is OK books, Andras Adorjan has consistently been fighting this negative mindset. In Black is Back!, the Hungarian grandmaster continues his crusade.  Adorjan shows that White#8217;s advantage is far from obvious and that winning with Black starts with having the right attitude.In this book, his #8216;Swan Song', Adorjan takes stock. He presents a wealth of Black wins from his own long career and from great players he has worked with. Their creative play proves that Black can often turn the tables.  Surprising statistics and instructive examples from modern-day chess will encourage even the most defensively minded players to look for hidden opportunities.This book will convince both club players and professionals that there is no reason to be afraid when playing Black. Instead they will start looking for creative solutions and beat White more often. Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine (UK): "Provides plenty of evidence to help to overturn the dogmatic favouring of the first player (..) There is no doubt that Adorjan is a free spirit and an original thinker (..) The epilogue brings this intruiging book to a close in dramatic style (..) Quirky, eccentric, different. Never dull. Like author, like book." Mark Haast, Schaaksite.nl: "A book that makes you think. Does White really have an advantage, or is that just my idée fixe? How come the statistics are better for White? Shouldn#8217;t I spend more time on my Black repertoire, and choose more dynamic openings? Adorjan#8217;s arguments are convincing: White#8217;s opening advantage isn#8217;t self-evident." Elburg Chess Reviews: "A wealth of super analyses and enjoyable  anecdotes (..) One of those chess books you must have read!" Chris Wainscott, On the Road to Chess Master: "The most important way this book can help is simply a change in mindset. The next time you sit down to face on opponent with the 'disadvantage' of playing black, just remember that truly, Black is Back!" Richard Vedder, Schaaknieuws: "More than 300 pages of success stories for Black. Inspiring for players who have a hard time with Black and a warning for those who think they can smoothly win with White. That is not going to happen that easily, because Black is Back!" Ian Marks, Chess Scotland: "Lots of dynamic, inspirational chess, lots of creative ideas, an often edgy text and an engrossing excursion into the philosophy of playing Black. If you#8217;ve never thought about this before, it could easily affect how you look at the game." Andras Adorjan  (1950) is an International Grandmaster, a former World Championship Candidate  and a former Hungarian champion. He was part of the Hungarian team that won the Gold Medal at the 1978 Chess Olympiad and worked as a second of World Champion Garry Kasparov. His #8216;Black is OK#8217; books brought him international fame as an author.

Grandmaster Repertoire 5 - The English Opening vol. 3 by Mihail Marin (miękka okładka)

Szachy > Debiuty

Wersja językowa książki - angielska. Miękka okładka. Mihail Marin completes his opening repertoire for White with 1.c4, the English Opening, by covering 1.c4 c5. The theory is state-of-the-art with many novelties suggested, but most useful of all are Marin#8217;s lucid explanations of how to play the resulting positions. A repertoire for White with 1.c4 c5 Written by an award-winning author A repertoire to last a lifetime Mihail Marin  is a grandmaster from Romania. His previous books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world's best chess authors. Marin's recent tournament successes, using this repertoire, increased his rating to a personal best of 2616. ISBN:  978-1-906552-59-6 - 280 pages - Published 13 October 2010Reviews"Mihail Marin's excellent repertoire books on the English Opening have helped to cement the reputation of Quality Chess' Grandmaster Repertoire series... Marin's deep experience and passion for the English Opening is clear throughout the book... If you've even the slightest inclination towards the English Opening, this trio of books is strongly recommended." GM Luke McShane , New in Chess "Marin introduces numerous new ideas that lead either to a small advantage for White or at least produce an annoying initiative that can keep Black on his heels... Without reservations, I recommend this volume to all English Opening players. 4 Stars (out of 4)" Carsten Hansen , ChessCafe (full review)  "One of the outstanding chess books of 2009 was volume one of Romanian Grandmaster Mihail Marin's trilogy on 1.c4... The second and third volumes in the series, recently released, maintain the same high standards... published on high quality paper with a clean, easy to read layout. They are available in both hardback and paperback editions with the former costing 8 Euros more. This might seem like an unnecessary luxury for an opening book that will eventually be outdated. However, if your budget allows and you intend to use these books a lot, it might be a wise investment. Will the difference in price be remembered after you have spent several hundred hours mastering this material?I give Marin's three volumes series on the English my highest recommendation." IM John Donaldson , (full review) "Beautifully written and inspirational" GM Luke McShane , New in Chess "It is a magnificent work, based on Marin's experience with the English Opening... Marin's vast knowledge of classic chess enriches the didactic value of the book." GM Zenon Franco Ocampos , Jaque "Perhaps the finest work on the English Opening that I have ever seen." Steve Giddins , British Chess Magazine "The Romanian GM has a well-earned reputation for writing great chess books, and these are no different...  Marin does his best to keep White's solutions within the realm of the English, which is doubly commendable... As always in Marin's books, you'll find lots of prose, a clear sense that the man loves to teach, and a ton of original analysis... Marin aims to make chess players out of his readers, not efficient zombies!The hardback copies... are superb from a physical standpoint as well. The books are highly recommended." Dennis Monokroussos , The Chess Mind (full review) "Thick, beautifully-hardcover books... I'm sure some of my team members who are addicted to opening with their c-pawn will just love these books, but for me, looking at all these lines just makes me realize life's too short to try and understand all chess openings. But I sure marvelled at fragments such as this..." Arne Moll , ChessVibes (full review) "Volumes 2 3 are fine books with plenty of new ideas, enhanced by his very readable prose. These books are so well written that I think those new to The English Opening will find them just as useful as seasoned 1.c4 experts." Sean Marsh  (full review)
