Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. First Edition. 159 Pages with an Index of Complete Games. Nodefects noted and the interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. The Stonewall is an ideal choice for those players who are keen to avoid the reams of theory that surround more popular openings such as the King's Indian and Nimzo-Indian Defences. With the Stonewall Black stakes an immediate claim in the centre and lays the foundations for a potentially dangerous kingside attack. The route to success with the Stonewall is very much based on an understanding of themes and ideas and these are clearly elucidated by the author. Unlike some systems against 1 d4, the Stonewall is not an invention of recent times, or even this century. It is interesting that in his book about the middle-game from 1964 Euwe classifies the Stonewall as a subvariation of the Queen's Gambit, rather than the Dutch Defence. The Stonewall has been played by a number of the great players, past and present - even in World Championship matches. Among the famous names using this set-up at some time during their careers are greats such as Tarrasch, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Bronstein, Smyslov, Larsen, Korchnoi and Tal. In more recent times it has been the standard defence of such players such as Bareev, Spassky, Yusupov, Short, Nikolic, Lautier, Agdestein and, for a short period, Vladimir Kramnik. Originally the Stonewall was known mainly for offering Black good attacking prospects, but after White found ways to deal with these attacks attention turned to the more positional aspects, thus contributing to the modern Stonewall's solid reputation. This book we will follow the course of the Stonewall in chess history using the beginning of the modern era at around 1960.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. There are many differing opinions among the top players in the world of chess, but there is one thing upon which World Champions, Grandmasters, and other experts all agree: the art of chess calculation is the absolute key to the success of a player. Master this discipline and chess players can surely expect their results to improve dramatically. And yet there have been very few serious attempts in the past by chess authors to delve into this delicate topic, perhaps not surprisingly given its complexity and difficulty. In Excelling at Chess Calculation, Jacob Aagaard tackles the subject matter head on, unravelling the many secrets behind chess calculation and arming readers with the necessary tools to be able to calculate effectively at the chessboard. Aagaard pays particular attention to the searching practical questions like when should players calculate?, how can players discover candidate moves?, and how long should players spend on critical moves? A thorough study of this book will enable them to calculate with confidence in future games. Highlights include: *A crucial guide to the skill of chess calculation *Ideal for both club and tournament players *Written by a renowned chess coach and author.…
