A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This title includes the 125 greatest chess games of all time, selected, analysed, re-evaluated and explained by a team of British experts and illustrated with over 1,000 chess diagrams. Join the authors in studying these games, the cream of two centuries of international chess, and develop your own chess-playing skills - whatever your current standard. Instructive points at the end of each game highlight the lessons to be learned. Highlights include: Adolf Anderssen's 'Immortal' and 'Evergreen' games; Bobby Fischer's 'Game of the Century'; Boris Spassky's James Bond' Mating Combination; Nigel Short's 'Sadistic King March'; Deep Blue's historic first win over Garry Kasparov; Kasparov's flash of genius against Topalov; and, Indian wizard Anand's bamboozling of the Russian champion Kramnik. Learn how to attack, keep the initiative, and defend and counterattack. Learn about logical opening play, endgame strategy, psychological warfare, and how the great players think.
