Book Notes  In Chess Duels: My Games with the World Champions, four-time US Champion Yasser Seirawan provides a fascinating and highly entertaining account of his games and encounters with the world champions of chess, including Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Bobby Fischer, Boris Spassky, Tigran Petrosian, Mikhail Tal, Vassily Smyslov, Mikhail Botvinnik, and Max Euwe. Having been involved in frequent battles against world champions over a 25-year period, Seirawan is in an ideal position to reveal how it really feels to be facing the legends of the game. He describes and analyses, in depth, his most memorable encounters - both famous victories and painful defeats, against the best chess players of the last fifty years. Critical Moments in Chess deals with those moments in a game when the tide turns and the course of the game is altered. It outlines the different types of critical moment, explaining how to spot them and, crucially, how to combat them, seize the initiative and turn the game to your own advantage.

Reviews in Brief |  Grandmaster Repertoire 2: 1.d4, Vol. 2
by Boris Avrukh While repertoire books are common these days, the scope and depth in the Grandmaster Repertoire series from Quality Chess is highly unusual. The first volume offered 458 pages of coverage on the Catalan Opening, the Slav Defense, Queen's Gambit Accepted, and some lesser versions of the Queen's Gambit, such as the Albin, Chigorin, and Tarrasch. The remaining openings are just as important and complicated, thus the need for a 614-page second volume. As with its predecessor, this volume is a candidate for the best opening book of the year. The coverage is extremely detailed, and every relevant path, main line or otherwise, is presented in spectacular detail. All new ideas are indicated with an "N" for novelty and most of the novelties are clear improvements over existing theory. Though there are some that are merely minor corrections that allow White to reach a more comfortable position. This is an extremely impressive book that will serve ambitious players for years. However, it is geared towards those players who are rated 2000 and up. If you are rated above that level, you should consider buying this book, whether you play 1 d4 as white or face it with black. These two volumes on 1 d4 constitute the most serious bid for the best and deepest opening repertoire ever presented in book format. I love the author's devotion and dedication to the cause, and I'm confident that his suggested repertoire will find many followers. Read the full review here. | | |
