Published 2014. Price: ÂŁ47.99 King's Indian: A Modern Approach (PC-DVD) - Victor Bologan (ref. CBDKMA) Author Victor Bologan: "When I was ten years old, my coach advised me to study the openings of Fischer and I discovered the King's Indian. Later I learned about the different approaches Black has in the King's Indian. He can keep his structure flexible and put his pawns on d6 and c6; he can play the sharp and principled Nc6 in the classical lines and in some sidelines he can sacrifice a pawn with ..b5. Top players such as Smirin, Kasparov, Radjabov and Nakamura play the King's Indian and they all have a different approach.

When preparing the material for this PC-DVD I studied the games of these experts, checked analyses with modern engines and used material from correspondence databases. Every day my King's Indian vocabulary got better, richer, and more varied. At the same time my confidence and my belief in the King's Indian also grew. If you study this material carefully and solve the interactive exercises you will also build up confidence in the King's Indian." * With interactive training including video feedback * Database with more than 50 instructive games, extensive analysis of the theory shown on this PC-DVD GM Victor Bologan is the number one in Moldova and has represented his country in ten Chess Olympiads.

Lately, White has been playing Anti-Berlin setups much more frequently - as they cannot find anything in the main Berlin.

The endgame should be treated as a serious, complex setting with lots of possibilities, including many tactical tricks. Studying the Berlin Defence will improve your understanding of the endgame dramatically.The course also includes a number of exercises aimed at improving your practical skills in the Berlin.

With over 160 first place tournament finishes and 90 months as world number one he is one of the greatest players of all time.

The main ideas and concepts are thoroughly explained by taking a detailed look at how the best players in the world handle this system. The main goal of this PCDVD is to provide you with an opening repertoire that is easy-to-learn, but one that does not require you to spend valuable time learning vast amounts of theory.

Playing 1.e4 e5 - A Classical Repertoire (q3014) Nikolaos Ntirlis In Playing 1.e4 e5 - A Classical Repertoire, Nikolaos Ntirlis offers the best of both worlds: a complete repertoire against 1.e4, built on sound positional principles, which does not require excessive memorization.

Nikolaos Ntirlis is an opening expert and adviser to numerous Grandmasters. He is an avid researcher, and in this book he draws on masterly insights from chess legends such as Capablanca and Smyslov, as well as the latest analytical tools that modern technology has to offer.

Published 2016, softback, 384 pages. Price: £19.99 Positional Decision Making in Chess (q3006) Boris Gelfand IPositional Decision Making in Chess offers a rare look into the mind of a top grandmaster. In his efforts to explain his way of thinking, Boris Gelfand focuses on such topics as the squeeze, space advantage, the transformation of pawn structures and the transformation of advantages.

Based on examples from his own games and those of his hero, Akiba Rubinstein, Gelfand explains how he thinks during the game.

Grandmaster Boris Gelfand reached No. 3 in the World in 1990. Gelfand won the 2009 World Cup and has participated in the 2012 World Championship match losing in the play-off. At 46 he is still winning tournaments ahead of the best players in the world.

Published 2015, hardback, 288 pages. Price: £23.99 Understanding the Scandinavian (g9365) Sergey Kasparov The appeal of the Scandinavian Defence is easy to understand: it is very forcing - there are no annoying "Anti-Scandinavians" to study!

The great Danish player Bent Larsen kickstarted a Scandinavian revolution with his provocative assertion that it is an improved Caro-Kann! But the 21st-century Scandinavian is a different beast altogether; the new main line of the whole opening (3...Qd6) has proven to have great strategic richness, with more than a few tactical tricks lurking just behind the scenes.

The Scandinavian has been transformed into an opening that strong grandmasters are willing to use as their main defence.

This thoroughly modern guide focuses on these new approaches, while also covering the more traditional main lines. Kasparov guides the reader carefully through each system, explaining his recommendations with wit and clarity.

Sergey Kasparov is a grandmaster from Belarus. He plays regularly in international events around the globe and is an experienced writer, with several books and online reports to his credit.

Published 2015, softback, 544 pages. Price: £22.95 Chess Opening Repertoire for Blitz and Rapid (n1603) Evgeny Sveshnikov & Vladimir Sveshnikov In modern chess, faster time controls have become more important than ever. In blitz chess it is important to make the right decisions quickly and almost instinctively.

That is why world-famous opening expert Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov and his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, have created an opening repertoire for club players that is forcing, both narrow and deep, and aggressive.

The aim is to be in control as much as possible.You want to be the one who decides which opening is going to be played, you want to dictate the strategical and technical choices. And you want to keep the pressure, increasing your opponent’s chances to stumble.

If you play the lines the Sveshnikovs have selected, you will not end up in positions where finding the theoretically best move is all-important, but in positions where it is relatively easy to spot the moves with the greatest practical effect.

Your results will improve and you will probably end up playing their variations in "slow chess" as well.

Published 2015, softback, 459 pages. Price: £19.99 Mikhail Chigorin - The Creative Genius (ref. n1601) Jimmy Adams New, Greatly Enlarged Edition Compiled, edited and translated from Russian sources by Jimmy Adams.

Mikhail Chigorin (1850-1908), the first great Russian chess master, belongs to that select group of exceptionally strong players who did not quite succeed in winning the world championship. He always played to win and represented Russia with honour in many international tournaments.

This is a hugely expanded second edition of the book published in 1987.

The biographical part has been extended with hundreds of pages of material depicting Chigorin's turbulent life.

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.

Complete Chess Course - Antonio Gude (g9364) This book is a comprehensive manual for those new to chess, which explains with great clarity the basics of the game. Using innovative methods, Gude ensures that readers quickly grasp each key concept before building on it by introducing new ideas.

This is an interactive course. With a total of 280 questions and exercises to tackle, the reader will quickly gain skills rather than mere knowledge.

Gude strips the mystery away from tactics and combinations by looking first at the strengths and weaknesses of each piece in isolation, and then showing how they work together with each of the other pieces. He also presents guidelines on chess strategy and a wide variety of patterns for the reader’s all-important "mental database".

The section on openings explains the main aims of each major opening, and the style of game to which they tend of lead.

Antonio Gude is an experienced chess writer and teacher from Spain.

Published 2015, hardback, 223 pages. Price: £13.50 Opening Repertoire: The Open Games With Black (p4194) Martin Lokander 1..e5 has always enjoyed an excellent reputation as a reliable defence against White's most popular opening choice, 1.e4. However, anyone who is primed to face the Ruy Lopez must also be prepared to face a number of White alternatives. This collection of variations make up the Open Games and include not only popular choices such as the Italian Game, Scotch Game, Bishop's Opening, King's Gambit, Vienna Game and Four Knights, but also many tricky sidelines and some wild and wacky gambits. Many of these might not be theoretically strong but can be both daunting and dangerous for the uninformed player.

In this book Martin Lokander tackles all these lines head on and presents a repertoire for Black in the Open Games. The repertoire is based largely on his experience and study in the Open Games as a player at international level, and has been tested successfully against grandmaster opposition. This book tells you everything you need to know about facing the Open Games when White avoids the Ruy Lopez. * Packed with new ideas and critical analysis

Published 2015, softback, 384 pages. Price: £19.99 Stein: Move By Move - Thomas Engqvist (p426y) Leonid Stein was a three-time Soviet Chess Champion and one of the World's strongest players during his career, which was tragically cut short at its peak by his premature death in 1973. Stein was a fierce competitor who defeated virtually all of his closest rivals and enjoyed excellent results even against World Champions. Stein possessed a unique creative attacking style, and his legacy includes a number of wonderful attacking games.

In this book, International Master Thomas Engqvist invites readers to join him in a study of his favourite Stein games, and shows how we can all improve by learning from Stein's masterpieces.

Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn.

Fundamental Checkmates - Antonio Gude (g9380) This book lays out, in systematic and thorough fashion, a wide range of mating patterns and techniques, in particular showing how each piece-pair can combine to deliver mate. A working knowledge of these ideas enables players to move on to mating combinations, where pieces lay down their lives so that the remaining forces can deliver mate. Gude explains an amazing variety of tactical devices, and illustrates them in unforgettable style with some of the most brilliant mating attacks from practice, new and old.

Fundamental Checkmates also features more than 300 exercises with full solutions.

Antonio Gude is an extremely experienced chess writer and teacher from Spain.

Several of his books on tactics and for beginners are long-standing best-sellers in Spanish language.

100 Endgames You Must Know - Jesus de la Villa (n1617) Fourth Edition As time limits have shortened and the endgame has to be played fast, a solid basic knowledge is vital. There are, contrary to what most amateurs believe, relatively few endgames one must know.

Here the 100 endgames are presented that: - show up most frequently in practice - are easy to learn - contain ideas and concepts useful in more difficult positions.

All the endings considered here are highly relevant to practical play and organised into chapters according to material on the board, as usual.

Jesus de la Villa Garcia is an International Grandmaster and a former champion of Spain. He has written many books and is a famous chess coach.
