Romain Edouard, auteur de qualité et joueur de haut niveau, nous propose un ouvrage sur le calcul aux échecs, lorsqu'il s'agit de mettre votre adversaire échec et mat.

Au menu, 8 chapitres;  dans les trois premiers, des exercices tactiques standards, avant que les choses se compliquent. Au quatrième, il vous faudra enfermer le roi adverse, au cinquième, votre tâche sera de l'emporter en éliminant le défenseur clé, dans le sixième, c'est une double menace qui fera la différence, dans le huitième,  des sacrifices et enfin dans le huit et dernier chapitre on retrouvera quelques problèmes différents, un peu de tout. Il est conseillé d'utiliser le livre dans l'ordre chronologique, car la complexité des exercices s'accroît au fil de l'ouvrage. Au total 276 exercices. 130 pages.

The chess triumphs of the Polgar sisters are legendary. Now, in this very special book, Sofia Polgar tells her own exceptional story: from her development as a prodigy and remarkable tournament successes to her eventually settling down, with chess occupying a lesser role as she raised a family.

Sofia presents many of her games, each with her own brand of fireworks. Clear, straightforward annotations allow the reader to appreciate her accomplishments on the board, while away from the board, her many personal memoirs complete the picture.

There are many photographs, many of which haver never been previously published. They nicely complement the chronicle of both her meteoric rise in the chess world and her loving family who encouraged her at every turn.

What is not generally known is that Sofia Polgar is also a gifted artist – a talented painter. Dozens of examples of her brilliant creativity on canvas are featured throughout this large format book. These paintings are presented in full color and on special matte paper to enhance the reader’s viewing enjoyment. 290 pages

Lakdawala, 1d6 move by move

Les “Move by move” continuent à sortir à un rythme soutenu : après avoir exploré trois grands sujets (la Slave, l'Espagnole et la Nimzo), la série s'offre une excursion en territoire moins défriché (en fait, presque pas défriché du tout) puisque le 1d6 dont il est question ici n'est ni la Pirc, ni la néo-Philidor, mais la défense Tchèque (ou Pribyl), i.e. d6-c6-Fg4. Sujet original et exposé parfaitement didactique : que demander de plus ?

Échiquier en vinyle souple vert ou marron n°3, lettré-chiffré, avec cases de 40 mm.
