Reviews in Brief |  Improve Your Chess by Learning from the Champions
by Lars Bo Hansen I have a confession to make. I haven't always understood Lars Bo Hansen's books. At times I thought Secrets of Chess Endgame Strategy was trite; mostly a revision and extension of ideas found in other sources, without much new to say. I had a similar reaction to How Chess Games are Won and Lost. As is so often the case, the problem was that I failed to grasp the author's intentions, and thus misjudged these two books. Luckily, Hansen has written a new book, Improve Your Chess by Learning from the Champions, and even more luckily I picked it up and started reading it. ... Throughout the book, Hansen's selections do a good job of showing proof that the greatest players have studied the entire history of chess. He has games in which Karpov attacks like Tal, and Alekhine plays like a hyper-modern. We have seen Kasparov take a page from Morphy's book, and Fischer borrowed from Steinitz. Chess is a game of knowledge, after all, and knowledge accumulates; good ideas never become obsolete, they just become forgotten, waiting for a good historian to revive them. This is a book for those players ambitious enough to want to become universal players, comfortable in all kinds of positions. As such, it demands a lot of thought and individual effort from the student. Those who engage in this effort should be rewarded by finding that they are comfortable in almost every position they achieve in practical play. Read the full review here.
