Book Notes  Can average chess players learn to plan their games like a grandmaster? In Find the Right Plan with Anatoly Karpov, Anatoly Karpov - the winningest world champion in history - says yes! With examples from his own matches, he breaks planning down into logical steps: evaluate the position, mobilize your forces, guard against threats to your king, control open lines. Through an orderly process, the attentive student will arrive at not just a plan, but the right plan. And as Karpov himself says, "Finding the right plan is the key to success." Warmly and accessibly written, the book is an irresistible invitation to absorb a bit of the Karpov magic. Bobby Fischer's lone fight against the Soviet chess powerhouse made him a global hero. Fischer's chess prowess and his will to win were unparalleled. Bobby Fischer for Beginners relives the glory and the tragedy of Robert James Fischer, a troubled genius whose legacy is tremendous. A selection of Bobby's best games is included - with straightforward and easy-to-grasp notes.

Reviews in Brief |  Opening Encyclopaedia 2010
by ChessBase According to one Internet definition, an encyclopedia is a comprehensive written compendium that holds information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Based on this I have to say that ChessBase has created an encyclopedia of chess openings as of the year 2010. However, while some of the material is from 2010, the special Theory databases, which would be a major reason for making this purchase are from past issues of ChessBase Magazine and have not been updated since the year in which they were written. These begin at CBM #1 and go as far as CBM #134 (February 2010). I am impressed by this product and find myself using it quite a bit. The theory databases are very well written and the games provide me with a tremendous memory jog, as sometimes all it takes is a two or three minute look at the overview and the opening in question comes right back to my sixty-two-year old memory. Club players looking to expand their opening repertoire could benefit greatly from this Encyclopaedia. The best way to learn openings is by going through plenty of games and, with a database of nearly four million games, the Encyclopedia makes this task a lot easier than it was before. If you are a club-level player who does not have a recent edition of this Encyclopaedia, then I recommend this product without reservation. Read the full review here. | | |
