| Sep-13-15 | | parisattack: There is another F-S book, even more 'landscape' similar in format to Soltis' 'Secrets' books. I can't quite place it at the moment... Still, the Alexander book is almost certainly the one <Alex56171> is thinking of here. A nice book of the Match. The HB is a bit of a collectible, but the PB is reasonably priced. |

 | | offramp: But, parisattack, <Alex56171> uses the word "brochure". Also the comment about Fischer's historical data. In the CHOD book the historical data was "standard", and the book was not a brochure. I think there may have been a different USA landscape brochure produced after the match. |
|
| Sep-14-15 | | parisattack: Tis true <offramp>. Theres not much data in the Alexander book tho long discussions of each participant. When I think of brochure I think of just a few pages which would be difficult for all the games plus extensive data...but it could refer to the 'landscape' style of the book? I have quite a few F-S match books, thought I had one that was the shape of the above mentioned Soltis books - but cannot find it. |
|
| Sep-15-15 | | Alex56171: Dear friends, I do not want to give more work to you. My idea was that some mentioned name might ring a bell in my mind. But my memory on the book is too weak and I think you just can not help myself. I can only thank the friendly effort of you. |
|
| Sep-27-15 | | Mr. V: For the past year I have been treasuring Tarrasch's book, The Game of Chess. I'm really quite beginner (1450 or so) and I love this book because it's perfect for my level. Tarrasch is probably my favorite annotator ever. I can't even count how many times I've re-read his section on endgames! He really is the perfect teacher for beginners. |
|
| Sep-27-15 | | parisattack: Don't forget his wonderful '300 Chess Games' when you are ready for it. Perhaps the most instructive game collection ever. There are a couple different translations - I like the older Ault one best tho the Schwarz is fine also and readily available. |
|
| Sep-27-15 | | Mr. V: <parisattack> Thanks! I didn't even know it had been translated yet!
I don't have any of his other books, but one of the Kibitzers here has left Tarrasch's annotations for his 1908 WCC match with Lasker. They are golden, truly. |
|
| Sep-28-15 | | Mr. V: I encountered a footnote reference in Euwe's Guide to chess Endings about a problem composed by C.D. Locock regarding "corresponding" squares in King and pawn endgames. After some searching online I see Winter wrote about this in his CN 6011, where he gives the problem composed by Locock. Euwe skims over this topic as irrelevant to practical play, but it really fascinates me. Does anybody know any endgame or problem books that cover this topic? |
|
| Sep-28-15 | | parisattack: The Lasker-Reichhelm position is all I can think of, corresponding squares. It is discussed in Fundamental Chess Endings as I recall. |
|
| Sep-28-15 | | nescio: <Mr. V, parisattack>
"Dreihundert Schachpartien" cannot be recommended enough. It is indeed a gem among game collections, with annotations near the level of Keres and Boleslavsky, and also, chiefly, for Tarrasch's original and witty sentences, which still make it a pleasure to read. |
|
| Sep-28-15 | | parisattack: Hello <Nescio> I do concur! I especially like Keres. His 'trio' is awesome - Road to the Top, Quest for Perfection and (especially) Power Chess. And, of course, the Arco trio - Early, Middle, Late. The Adams translation of Boleslavsky's Selected is a classic. That said I think those annotations are more advanced than Tarrasch's in the 300 book. |
|
| Sep-28-15 | | parisattack: Here is a list of Keres books; sure there are more. I think I saw a Keres Move-by-Move on the way soon?

| Sep-28-15 | | whiteshark: <Mr. V> Every good book on pawn endgames should cover this topic. As far as I recollect Marcel Duchamp and Vitaly Halberstadt wrote a book solely on <opposition and sister quares> |
|
| Sep-29-15 | | pazzed paun: Has anyone seen Lombardys book about his games? Understanding chess
The subtitle says something about his system and his methods
Sine the first game does it start untll page 28
What is Lombardys system.
Thank you |
|
| Sep-29-15 | | parisattack: I enjoyed the Lombardy book very much; his annotations are excellent. His 'System' - If you go to the Lombardy forum, a couple pages back I mentioned the basics of it. Quite interesting. It is not a My System type of system but his perspective on how to analyze and visualize positions. Sort of my philosophy than system, but a topic which gets very little attention. |
|
| Sep-29-15 | | pazzed paun: <parisattack>
I can't find a link to the the Lombardy forum or a way to search for it
Can you help
Thank you |

| Sep-29-15 | | parisattack: It appears you posted there recently... |

That said I think those annotations are more advanced than Tarrasch's in the 300 book.>Of course. In a period of about 50 years chess strategy evolved and was enhanced immeasurably. And don't forget that Tarrasch, like Euwe a few decades later, wrote delibrately for the "ordinary" players, whereas the soviets tried to annotate for the experts. I would like to add Najdorf to my list of favourite annotators on the basis of his annotations in the Zürich/Neuhausen 1953 book, but perhaps he wrote chiefly in Polish and/or Spanish, for I have not found much of his writngs. |
|
| Oct-16-15 | | Mr. V: Anyone have any examples of the annotations of Georg Marco? |
|
| Oct-16-15 | | parisattack: In English, offhand I am thinking of Carlsbad 1907. Quite a few in German. |
|
| Oct-16-15 | | TheFocus: Wasn't Marco one of the editors for <Weinerschachzeitung>? Lots of games in there annotated by him. Other tournament books also, but I am not near my library. |

| Oct-17-15 | | zanzibar: This poor post has been kicked around a bit, but maybe can find a good home here... * * * * *
<RE: Endgame books> Check out the endgame book Carlsen has by his side in the (in)famous <Too weak, too slow> blitz game with Fressin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY2...
I actually have both books, and its a dream of mine that someday I'll manage to actually open one of them in a meaningful way. By the way, I found a PGN transcription of the blitz game here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comm... Where the transcipt cites:
<No draw for (you)>
substitute <No draw for bad Frenchmen> (which explains the extra laughter)
* * * * *
I had a followup with details about the actual book; if <CG> can help me recover that one I'll post it here. |
|
| Nov-06-15 | | Mr. V: So, anyone read Huebner's 25 Annotated Games? I've read it's very thorough. Do you think it would be helpful to a lower-level player? |
|
| Nov-06-15 | | zanzibar: Just saw this, thought I'd drop in here to share:
<If you were to recommend five chess books (a must-read) for a young junior, what titles would you put on a piece of paper?Difficult question, because five is too small a number. Only the brilliant coach and author Mark Dvoretsky alone has more than five must-read books. But if we do not include Dvoretsky’s works on this list then I’d say: David Bronstein’s Zurich International Chess tournament, 1953, Aron Nimzowitsch’s My System, Mikhail Shereshevsky’s Endgame Strategy, Alexander Alekhine’s My Best Games, and Michael Stean’s Simple Chess. I would also recommend books by John Nunn, Jonathan Rowson, Tibor Karolyi, Mihail Marin, Jacob Aagaard, John L. Watson and Karsten Müller.> Interview with IM Ashot Nadanian:
