This book and tactics and this entire series of chess titles are absolutely excellent, and the best presented and thought out thematic chess books aimed at lower rated players in a way people can easily digest. Seriwan and Silman have created a deceptively simple ...             Garry Kasparov on Fischer: Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 4 (My Great Predecessors)21 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2005 Excellent five-volume set This is Volume Four of the five-volume set of My Great Predecessors. I had to do a lot of shopping around to find each volume at a price I could afford, but if you are serious about developing an understanding of chess strategy, this set is an excellent resource. The books cover the history of great chessmasters, detailing many of their games. I don't start at page one and read through them ...             Art of Attack in Chess55 reviews Vladimir Vukovic Everyman Chess, 1999 Amazing advanced book great for about 1800+ rating players dont buy this as your first book it is too advanced .. this will get your attack working and winning             Play Winning Chess47 reviews Yasser Seirawan Everyman Chess, 2003 This Should Be Your Introductory Book to Chess! I originally bought this book for my wife as an introduction to chess. I started reading it myself, and became quite hooked. Now I am reading through the entire series and am on book 3, Strategies. This book has three of the biggest names around behind it: Seirawan, Jerry Silman, and the Microsoft publishing powerhouse. The result as might be expected is as good an introduction to chess ...             The Complete Chess Workout: Train your brain with 1200 puzzles! (Everyman Chess)7 reviews Richard Palliser Everyman Chess, 2007 Something New in Puzzle Books Two things make this book a bit unusual among books of this sort. 1) Most of the positions are from very recent tournaments and 2) Most of the players are not household names. Both of these features make it harder for me to just remember the games. I don't think there's anything more instructive or entertaining in chess than working through books like this one.             Winning Chess Strategies, revised (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess)31 reviews Yasser Seirawan Everyman Chess, 2005 Thank You Mr. Seirawan!! I started taking chess seriously about one year ago and I bought this book only a few days ago. This book is very engaging and has demystified many aspects of positional chess for me because of Mr. Seirawan's very lucid and down to earth approach to the various concepts presented. It is also very encouraging to see that even an IGM of Mr. Seirawan's ability can err during play. I am about to ...             Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess, Part 2: Kasparov vs Karpov 1975-1985 (Modern Chess)3 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2008 Chess of the Titans This book is amazing. I enjoyed Kasparov's "Great Predessors" series, but didn't read any of them cover-to-cover. I found his "Revolutions in the 70s" to be interesting but not very useful and definitely not entertaining. But this book is a classic that I'll be re-reading in the coming years. This is the book many of us have been waiting for Kasparov to write for years and years. No one ...             Winning Chess Openings (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess)34 reviews Yasser Seirawan Everyman Chess, 2003 The Best Openings Book I never really got good at chess until I started focusing first on a simple e4 e5 with the relative strength of second moves and then relative strength of third moves and looked at it as a tree with branches in every direction. It makes sense not to go on to d4 d5 until you have explored e4 e5 out at least 10 moves out in each popular direction. Yasser Seirawan uses a very logical arrangement ...             Checkmate!: My First Chess Book (Everyman Chess)2 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2004 Finally found the starter book I have been researching for months to find a good 'starter' book to begin a chess club. I have searched online and made many stops at book stores and even asked many questions. Some of the books out there are excellent, but the cost was a little more than I wanted to spend as I am starting the club for homeschoolers and wanted to do it more as a ministry than a money-making enterprise. To me, a ...             Starting Out: D-Pawn Attacks: The Colle-Zukertort, Barry and 150 Attacks (Starting Out)1 review Richard Palliser Everyman Chess, 2008 Much-anticipated addition to the offbeat d-pawn attacking literature By way of disclaimer, I am the author of Zuke 'Em-The Colle Zukertort Revolutionized: A chess opening system for everyone, now bullet-proofed with new ideas, a book dedicated to the Zukertort and the many pet defenses against it. My book, being rather new itself, came out too late for Palliser to incorporate its new ideas into D-pawn Attacks. While some could see this as a competing book, I see ...             How to Beat the French Defence: The essential guide to the Tarrasch Andreas Tzermiadianos Everyman Chess, 2008 The French Defence is considered to be one of Black?s most reliable answers to 1 e4. Indeed, many players have become frustrated in their attempts to prove an advantage and make headway against Black?s ultra-solid formation. In How to Beat the French Defence , Andreas Tzermiadianos meets this difficult challenge head on. He advocates his favourite weapon against the French ? the Tarrasch Variation ? and reveals an abundance of opening ideas ...             Winning Chess Combinations (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess)5 reviews Yasser Seirawan Everyman Chess, 2006 Part of a good series The "Winning Chess Series" by Seirawan is one of the best series of books on chess. The "Winning Chess Combinations" book is more advanced than "Winning Chess Tactics" and "Winning Chess Traps for Juniors" so you should read these first and I personally liked them better. When you have advanced then getting this book is a good idea.             Beating Unusual Chess Openings: Dealing With the English, Reti, King's Indian Attack and Other Annoying ...4 reviews Richard Palliser Everyman Chess, 2007 Excellent coverage for Black of all non e4 and d4 White openings As most people should be aware Richard Palliser writes excellent chess books and this book is no exception. He covers all possible Black defences to all non-e4 and non-d4 openings. Three openings are covered in particular detail, as you might expect the English, Reti and Kings Indian Attack. In general, as Palliser states he concentrates on fairly solid lines for Black e.g. Symmetrical English. ...             Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 122 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2003 Very enjoyable read..... I recently purchased Part I of "My Great Predecessors" and have found it the most enjoyable chess book I've ever read. I love history and chess, so this book was a good fit for me: the chess games and analysis are interweaved with a historical sketch of what was occuring at the time. I've found it quite fascinating. BTW..the so-called historical inaccuracies are nits. Did Steinitz met Morphy ...             Play the French, 3rd (Cadogan Chess Books)21 reviews John Watson Everyman Chess, 2004 Everything you need to know. I need to make one thing clear. Some people think the French is a positional opening that leads to long boring endgames. Well they are all wrong! The French is one of the most agressive counter-attacking opening in all of chess. After reading this book I have slashed people rated hundreds of points higher than me. There is absolutely nothing white can do to stop your counter play. In the Advance ...             Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 210 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2004 Fantastic I can't imagine how anyone could give anything less than 5 stars for these books, when you compare them to the rest of the chess market. This entire series is probably one of the greatest literary works in the history of chess. Not only are there fantastic games to play through, and an easy way for learning players to grasp the progression of chess from centuries ago to today, but these ...             Winning Chess Endings (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess)25 reviews Yasser Seirawan Everyman Chess, 2003 Another great installment to the winning chess series I can honestly say that I have never disliked a single book in the Winning Chess Series. Yasser Seirawan is a brilliant author. He combines his good writing skill and humor, his entertaining personality, his good chess skill, and his good teaching skill all into his winning chess series. Winning Chess Endings is a great book. After just a few hours of studying king and pawn endgames from this ...             Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 3 (My Great Predecessors)14 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2004 I was stunned I initially bought this book because I wanted to acquire a collection of Petrosian games that were well annotated. I figured Kasparov would be a good annotator :-) What I found out is that the section on Petrosian (181 pages) is one long story, where Kasparov shows how ideas were formed, tested adopted, refuted and so on. Throughout the weaving of the progression of chess ideas during ...             Starting Out: The Accelerated Dragon: Fundamental coverage of a dynamic Sicilian (Starting Out)3 reviews Andrew Greet Everyman Chess, 2007 A new standard for opening literature With regard to instructive opening writing for mortals, there are a few good authors, a handful of great authors, and then there is Andrew Greet. This guy cares about his readers. His books are written with passion and pride. They are gifts from him to us. Who knows his motivation - perhaps paying forward his experiences with a past mentor - but we get to benefit from his generosity and ...             Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 5 (My Great Predecessors)6 reviews Garry Kasparov Everyman Chess, 2006 A review of the book *AFTER* it's been released! Let me start with the obvious question: Should I buy this book. YES! Here's why: Kasparov has written a series that will keep any chess player busy for years. Yes, he made numerous errors, especially in the earlier volumes. However, he has been learning how to write as he has continued through the other volumes. He has listened to, and responded appropriately to criticisms ...              search for books 1975-1985, accelerated, annoying, attacks, beating, cadogan, checkmate, colle-zukertort, combinations, complete, coverage, dealing, defence, english, essential, everyman, fischer, fundamental, kasparov, openings, predecessors, revised, sicilian, starting, strategies, systems, tactics, tarrasch, unusual, zukertort books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
