LEBEDEV, SERGEI. The Goose Fritz. Translated from the Russian by Antonina W. Bouis. New York: New Vessel Press, 2019, 319pp., . A man obsessively investigates the mysteries of his family's past in this "brave and unflinching" novel by the acclaimed Russian author of Oblivion (The Financial Times). Sergei Lebedev's first two novels, The Year of the Comet and Oblivion, established him as one of Russia's most important contemporary novelists. Now he reaffirms that status with this third work of fiction. The Goose Fritz tells the story of a young Russian named Kirill, the sole survivor of a once numerous clan of German origin, who delves relentlessly into the unresolved past. When Krill's ancestor, Balthasar Schwerdt, migrated to the Russian Empire in the early 1800s, he brought with him the practice of alternative medicine. He was then taken captive by an erratic nobleman who supplied entertainment to Catherine the Great in the form of dwarves, hunchbacks, and magicians. S earches archives and cemeteries across Europe, Kirill's investigation takes us through centuries of turmoil during which none of Schwert's descendants can escape their adoptive country's cruel fate. Illuminating both personal and political history, "Lebedev muses in Tolstoyan fashion about [how] the actions of distant ancestors can fix the destinies of people hundreds of years later" (The Wall Street Journal).

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. xxvi+314+[xv ad] pages with diagrams with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First published by David McKay 1963. These 25 chess games played between master and amateur were chosen, arranged, and annotated to help amateurs improve their games. What better way could the amateur have of learning to exploit the weak play of fellow amateurs than to study how a master would handle such situations? Selected by former World Chess Champion Max Euwe and Walter Meiden, a typical amateur player, the games point out graphically how the chess master takes advantage of characteristic errors of the amateur. In general, the games have been presented in order of the degree of skill of the amateur. The early games were played against beginners; later games, against "coffeehouse" players of various skill levels; the last games, against amateur "book" players. Each game, with commentary by Dr. Euwe, was chosen to illustrate a specific aspect of chess, from various openings to a number of typical chess situations. By carefully studying these games, the amateur player will learn how to recognize and avoid a variety of weak strategic and tactical moves. Dr. Euwe's helpful and informative commentary on each contest consists of a discussion of significant moves in the game, an analysis of the opening used and explanations of important chess concepts as they arise. Often, he includes a detailed analysis of tactical variations that might have been played as alternatives. The result is an indispensable aid for amateurs seeking to raise the quality of their games as well as a book that can be read with profit by chess players at every level of expertise.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. x+190 pages with diagrams. Small octavo (7aa 34" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated and edited by J Du Mont. Sixth printing. Judgment And Planning In Chess focuses on that crucial point in the chess game -- eight or so moves into the game -- where the opening development breaks off and the middle game begins. This is precisely the part of the game that falls between opening books and middle-game books. Dr. Euwe studies a number of orthodox openings and positions from the point where the opening stage has come to an end. He describes the characteristics of the position reached, shows why one or the other side stands better, and gives a practical demonstration of the means by which the game can be brought to its logical conclusion.
