A Complete Guide to the Grivas Sicilian
Efstratios Grivas
£13.99/$23.95
144 pages This book is in every way a definitive guide: Efstratios Grivas provides the inside story on a variation of the Sicilian Defence that he has worked for more than 20 years to perfect, and which rightly bears his name. The Grivas Sicilian (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6) has proved itself sound and reliable in practice, but is also far less well investigated than most Sicilian systems. This gives it an extra sting in practice, which readers will be able to use to their advantage over the board - it is most unlikely that their opponents will have a well-worked-out response ready. The Grivas Sicilian generally leads to positions akin to the Scheveningen, but with some subtle differences. Grivas explains these subtleties at length, helping readers to exploit all their chances to seize the initiative. Other books on this system: Sicilian with ..Qb6! by Ilic

Great Chess Books of the Twentieth Century in English Alex Dunne £19.99 198 pages Among the first books ever published was the 1474 translation of the Game and Playe of the Chesse. Over the next 400 years, significant chess books would appear, but the overwhelming number of titles on the subject appeared in the 20th century and continue unabated. By 2003, over 35,000 volumes on chess in a variety of languages had been published, with approximately 14,000 English language works published from 1960 onward. For the librarian, collector, or chess enthusiast, the immediate task comes in finding which of these many volumes are worthwhile. This work provides an objective and informative look at some of the best chess books published in the period 1901 through 2000—and gives numerous examples of the games, with diagrams that appear in them. Inclusion criteria were popularity, longevity, critical acclaim, influence, definitiveness, historical importance, authorship and reputation. All were published in English (or use figurine notation). Each entry includes bibliographic details followed by a description of the book, with information on the author or authors, why the book is important, and background information on the publication. |

The Chigorin Defence 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6 (Fully revised English ed.) Valery Bronznik £16.99 335 pages, hardback In hardly any other opening does the second player get so many chances for an early initiative as in the Chigorin Defence 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6. Among its practitioners are A.Morozevich and I.Miladinovic, as well as various other strong grandmasters. Nevertheless, for a long time the Chigorin Defence had a dubious reputation. Only the success of the players just mentioned, combined with the appearance of the first German edition of this book in 2001 gradually changed this. This now thoroughly updated essential work on the Chigorin offers 115 games scrutinised in detail, explains all the strategic principles and therefore creates a solid theoretical basis for the defence. It will not only become the Chigorin Defence bible for many years to come, but it establishes the Chigorin as a sound defense deserving respect. (John Watson, The Week in Chess, Book Reviews #46) |

Leningrad System A complete Weapon against 1 d4 Stefan Kindermann £18/$35 208 pages The Leningrad System is one of the sharpest and most interesting replies to 1 d4, and since this typical set-up is also playable against the flank openings 1 c4 and 1 Nf3, it provides the Black player with a genuine universal weapon. A repertoire for Black based on 7... Ee8 in the main line of the Leningrad System is presented here, but since the typical motifs and ideas for both sides are fully explained, White players too will benefit from a study of the book. This English edition is a fully updated version of the German edition, which received some highly favourable reviews, for example: "...must be among the best opening books of the past five years...rich with history of the variation, meticulously researched, enhanced by explanation and exercises, and full of original analysis…Anyone interested in the theory of the Dutch Defence and the Leningrad Variation will find it an absolute must for their library...Obviously I highly recommend this book..." John Watson in "The Week in Chess". |

Italian Gambit & a Guiding Repertoire for White - E4! Acers & Laven £22.99/$43.99 The first new book on the Italian in years and by the quantity and quality of its analysis it more than makes up for the long wait! Indeed, as the title suggests this is really two books and not one. The first part covers the Italian Game, specifically concentrating on 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 and then the ultra-sharp 4. d4!? If you fancy yourself as a bit of an old romantic (strictly in the chess opening sense) then this line and this book are perfect for you. The second part of the book concentrates on what to do if your opponent avoids playing e5 and gives you a repertoire against all main-line black replies. 1. Nf6 - Alekhine's , 1. e6 - French, 1. d6 - Pirc, 1. d5 - Scandinavian, 1. c6 - Caro Kann, 1. c5 - Sicilian, 1. Nc6 - Nimzowitsch. Thorough analysis, accompanied by critical games and a humorous writing style make this a rather unique opening book. |

Challenging the Grunfeld IM Eddie Dearing £15.99/$24.95 204 pages Many players are attracted to the strategic complexity of 1.d4 openings but do not know how to deal with the dynamic Grunfeld Defence. In this book IM Edward Dearing suggests the answer is the Modern Exchange Variation with 8.Rb1, as favoured by Kramnik, Gelfand, Anand and other top grandmasters on numerous occasions. Challenging the Grunfeld offers the experienced player in-depth coverage of this complex opening, but also gives the less ambitious reader the chance to understand the most important points by playing through the 50 main games and reading the explanations. Dearing skilfully leads the reader through the book by including clear conclusions to every game and chapter. But Challenging the Grunfeld offers more than just a repertoire for white against this topical system: it is a thorough guide to a very complex opening system, more in the style of old ''complete'' opening books. Challenging the Grunfeld is essential reading for defenders of this opening system as well as those who want to ''challenge the Grunfeld''. |

Foundations of Chess Strategy Lars Bo Hansen £15.99/$27.50 176 pages, Gambit Chess is a game where profound strategic thinking must be allied with clever short-term tactics. Most previous works on strategy focus on specific aspects of chess strategy, but Lars Bo Hansen's aims here are different. He creates a framework in which the various elements can be systematically included and organized - a framework that will help chess-players how to think about chess strategy during practical play. The theory of business strategy is extensively developed, and Hansen adopts the novel approach of investigating whether any of the vast amounts of research and modelling done for business purposes can be applied in chess. He finds that there are indeed many useful parallels, and focuses on how these ideas can be used to good effect by chess-players both in their preparation and when making over-the-board decisions. |

Starting Out: Alekhine's Defence
John Cox £12.99/$18.95 192 pages, Everyman Alekhine’s Defence is a sharp opening in which Black attacks from move one, provoking White into lunging forward in the centre. White is often able to construct an impressively large central pawn formation, but Black’s hope is that this becomes over-stretched and disintegrates in the face of a vicious counterattack. Unsurprisingly, it has always been a favourite amongst uncompromising players such as Fischer and Alekhine himself, while more recently it’s been utilised by the likes of Ivanchuk and Short. In this easy-to-read guide, openings expert John Cox goes back to basics, studying the essential principles of Alekhine’s Defence and its numerous variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips and warnings to guide the improving player, while key strategies, ideas and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated. |
