  • Everyman Chess Fischer: Move by Move

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisBobby Fischer is a legendary chess figure, and many consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time. Fischer was a child prodigy who later developed into a phenomenal force. During his peak years he dominated his nearest rivals in a manner that had previously never been seen. Fischer achieved his goal of becoming World Champion after beating Boris Spassky in their 'Match of the Century' in 1972, an epic contest which did more than anything else to popularize the game throughout the world. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala studies his favorite Fischer games. Lakdawala examines Fischer's renowned skills in attack, defense, counterattack, exploiting imbalances, dynamic elements, accumulating advantages and endgame play. 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 practicing 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. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.Trade ReviewMy first reaction to Fischer: Move by Move by Cyrus Lakdawala, was one of anticipation. Fischer is one of my favorite players to study. His games are masterpieces. And his eccentric life story has always provided an interesting background to his unparalleled accomplishments --- My second thought was: In the midst of the many, many books I've already seen about Fischer, could this one offer new material? -- The answer turns out to be a resounding yes. Lakdawala offers a fresh perspective and a decent amount of previously unseen material. He finds a good balance between Fischer's classic games (in case this is your first step into the world of Fischer) and lesser-known games (for those like me who already own several tomes). -- Additionally, the energy with which Lakdawala writes about Fischer shows his genuine fascination with Fischer's games and story: "Bobby Fischer, like Ali, grew bigger than his sport, and he bent our perceptions on how well a human can play chess." --- Lakdawala's enthusiasm makes the book absorbing. I found myself curious of Lakdawala's point of view of even Fischer's most well-known games. ---- Vanessa West, US Chess Federation ---------- Cyrus Lakdawala faced a tough challenge in finding something new to say about Bobby Fischer's games...The San Diego International Master succeeds in staking new ground by offering modern annotations assisted by the Silicon Oracle and making an eclectic selection of games including one against Korchnoi from the blitz tournament at Herceg Novi in 1970 and a couple from the 1957 Cardoso-Fischer match. The thing that makes Lakdawala's book different from others... is its use of the Everyman move by move format that is constantly questioning and challenging the reader.-- John Donaldson, International master "www.JeremySilman.com "

  • Everyman Chess Opening Repertoire: The Sicilian Najdorf

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Najdorf is that very rare thing - an opening for Black that is highly aggressive but is also recognised as being objectively sound. In this book, FIDE Master John Doknjas and National Master Joshua Doknjas navigate through the main lines of the Najdorf and provide the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening, and contains instructive commentary on typical middle-game plans. With thorough variations and explanations on pawn structures and piece placement, this book provides insight to both strong masters and less experienced players alike. ----- The format is ideal for the chessplayer keen to improve their game. While reading you are continually challenged to answer probing questions - a method that greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of chess knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study chess while providing the best possible chance to retain what has been learnt.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this volume by two fine young master chessplayers from British Columbia, Canada. I can't wait to see what their next book will cover if this is typical of what we can expect from them.--Vladimir, Drkulec "President Chess Federation of Canada " When I was asked to review this book, I thought I was doing John and Joshua Doknjas a favor by writing it; after all, I am a grandmaster with more than 20 years of experience in the Najdorf, on both sides of the board. I was curious what the book could offer me. I jumped immediately to the chapter featuring my life-long pet line (with both colors), the English Attack... and I almost instantly fell in love with the book. Easy to read, yet covering all the critical lines, well-chosen sample games, thorough engine analysis where needed, and, maybe the most important asset: a crystal-clear, "human" explanation of the ideas and plans.--GM Gergely Szabo "FIDE Trainer " The Doknjas brothers penned a comprehensive repertoire book on one of the most complex openings, and managed to make it a good read as well as an in-depth research. This is the first such massive work for the Doknjas brothers, and as often happens in these cases - you see a lot of passion for the work and it resulted in a book that will be useful for both club players and Grandmasters.--GM Emil Sutovsky "President of the APCP " Every now and then there comes a book that just makes things simple and understandable. This book is one such rare gem... If you would like to develop an appreciation for this complex opening, improve your general understanding of the game, and have an enjoyable read, then this book is for you, whether you are a weekend club player or a seasoned grandmaster.--International Master Yan Teplitsky "Former Canadian National Youth Coach " The Najdorf is a difficult opening to write about, especially when publishing a book for the first time, but John and Joshua Doknjas surpassed expectations and delivered a wonderful piece of work. Each one of the chosen games are very instructive and well annotated, covering a variety of different lines. The exercises and questions are a fantastic supplement to the sample games and allow the reader to gain a better understanding of the opening--FIDE Master Jason Cao "2010 World U10 Champion " Opening Repertoire: The Sicilian Najdorf is a must-read for any aspiring chess player who wishes to deepen their understanding of this complex opening. John and Joshua Doknjas, two young Canadian masters, have extensive experience playing the Najdorf against titled players on the international stage. For the first time, they reveal a treasure trove of opening secrets that they have discovered through their own praxis and research--National Master Josh Sinanan "President, Washington Chess Federation "

  • Everyman Chess A Complete Repertoire based on 1 b3 and 1 b6

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisTwo great books from the Everyman Chess Library, play 1…b6! a dynamic and hypermodern opening system for Black by Christian Bauer and Nimzo Larsen Attack by Byron Jacobs and Jonathan Tait, brought together in one volume. ----- Fed up with getting difficult positions with the black pieces? Tired of always having to keep up with all the latest developments. Take a break from the mountains of opening theory and play 1...b6! With the move, preparing a bishop fianchetto, Black immediately directs the game into relatively uncharted territory, one where White players are not able to sit back and rely on their 'opening book' knowledge. ----- The real beauty of 1...b6 is that it can be played against virtually every single first move by White, so it is a perfect choice for Black players with neither the time nor inclination to memorise a multitude of different defences. Despite being relatively unexplored, 1...b6 has been the weapon of some dynamic and uncompromising world-class players, including Britain's first Grandmaster, the late Tony Miles. ----- In this revolutionary book, Christian Bauer reveals for the first time the secrets of how to play 1...b6 with success. He takes an in-depth look at both the main lines and White's more offbeat tries, creating a comprehensive repertoire for the Black player and highlighting the tactical and positional ideas for both players. ----- In Nimzo-Larsen Attack, Byron Jacobs and Jonathan Tait explain how you can use this dynamic opening to attack your opponent from move one. The Nimzo-Larsen Attack has been unfairly neglected in recent times, and this book aims to redress the balance.
