Book Notes  For years Rybka has been the uncontested number one in computer chess and since its great breakthrough in 2006 the program has won one world title after the other. Now, the Rybka-team gathered around programmer Vasik Rajlich has developed a new version that is even better: "Rybka 4 plays more aggressively and more tactically". During the last two years the engine has been improved in almost all areas. One major theme has been the understanding of the attack on the king. The new Rybka 4 is in this case more precise and reliable than its predecessor. At the same time the search function now operates more quickly and efficiently and the evaluation function delivers even more spot-on judgments. Rybka 4 will be indispensable for all those who work and analyze with chess engines. The ChessCafe.com price is only $44.95!! Chess in Action is not your typical beginner's chess book! Written by longtime children's book author Paul Mantell, and IM Dean Ippolito, Chess in Action effectively captures the excitement of the battle: the thrill of staying one step ahead of your opponent, of launching a surprise attack, of drawing your adversary into a trap.

Reviews in Brief |  Attacking Manual 1 (2nd ed.)
by Jacob Aagaard Chess shares more with boxing than is perhaps comfortable. Both have a World Champion; both sometimes have more than one. In both, the champion defends the title against a single challenger. In both, the rules for choosing a challenger can change without notice. In both, the governing body's main function is to bring the sport into disrepute. And both are largely ignored in the mainstream media. But boxing and chess share one thing that has probably kept them both alive, through even their most disreputable seasons: we love a good fight, and idolize a good fighter... Aagaard's great strength as an author has always been the utility of his practical examples. Few chess authors do a better job than he of finding just the right example, exercise, or game to illustrate a given point... Read the full review here. | | |
