KASPAROV - My Great Predecessors part I
Deux des plus forts joueurs de notre temps (je veux dire Kasparov et Fritz, puisque l'ex-champion du monde ne fait pas mystère d'utiliser abondamment l'aide de l'informatique) se penchent sur les accomplissements des champions du passé. Ce premier volume passe en revue un bon siècle de l'histoire du jeu, du premier championnat du monde officieux (McDonnell-La Bourdonnais 1834) à la mort d'Alekhine (1946), sautant bizarrement la parenthèse Euwe (1935-37) gardée pour le deuxième tome. Comme son titre et sa couverture l'indiquent, l'ouvrage se focalise sur les quatre champions du monde officiels, mais les auteurs prennent le temps de nous parler un peu de leurs principaux adversaires, avec tout de même quelques négligences regrettables (Maroczy représenté simplement par une fin de partie perdue...). Par la force des choses, les parties présentées (117, plus une trentaine d'extraits) sont en général archiconnues, mais elles ont bénéficié d'un travail d'annotation fouillé, utilisant tant l'oeuvre des commentateurs passés que les ressources de la technique moderne, esquissant ainsi une sorte de mise en perspective de l'histoire des échecs. Osons tout de même deux petites critiques (ce qui fera donc trois au total) à l'encontre de ce bel ouvrage : la mise en page un peu négligente, qui rend la lecture de certaines parties un peu laborieuse, et la présence d'une introduction superflue où Kasparov se répand en considérations politico-historiques passablement filandreuses - tout homme, quelle que soit son intelligence, devrait se cantonner à sa spécialité... Un dernier détail : comme le livre s'achève inévitablement par un rappel (honnête mais un peu édulcoré) des agissements d'Alekhine durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, signalons que l'historien Ken Whyld vient de rééditer une plaquette contenant les articles antisémites écrits pour le Pariser Zeitung, accompagnés d'une introduction faisant le point sur l'affaire (Alekhine Nazi Articles).
Henris: The Complete Albin Counter-Gambit
Authored by Belgian FIDE Master Luc Henris, an expert on the Albin, this book covers the Albin Counter-Gambit on about 600 (!) pages. It provides you with up-to-date analysis and innovative ideas to fight the Queen´s Gambit. While it has long been underestimated by master and club players alike, it is especially Morozevich (ELO 2760 as of May 2013) who revived the Albin in recent years. If it´s good for him, it´s good for us too: an entertaining, surprising, and sound counter-weapon for Black.

Moskalenko - The Perfect Pirc-Modern
The Pirc Defence and the Modern Defence are two naturally entwined chess openings that are both flexible and rich in strategic and tactical ideas. They feature in the repertoire of great players like Grischuk, Ivanchuk, Nakamura and Carlsen.
In The Perfect Pirc-Modern, Viktor Moskalenko, a renowned propagator of dynamic chess who has championed the Pirc-Modern for many years, explains:
- the ideas and plans that matter
- the various pawn structures and how to handle them
- tricky transpositions: opportunities and risks
- a wealth of new resources for both Black and White.
In this updated version of Moskalenko’s 2013 book of the same name, 33 of the 42 games are new, the structure has been updated in places, and there are fresh ideas on every page.
Moskalenko expertly guides you through this ground-breaking opening book with the enthusiasm, ease and humour that characterize his style.

Chess Set Bauhaus
The Bauhaus chess set’s unique look catches the eye right away. It’s certainly one of the more artistic and modern-looking chess sets we’ve come across. And yet, its charm lies in its simplicity (and the very apparent supreme-quality craftsmanship of the set). The smooth, clean lines and interesting shapes of the chess pieces are somehow simultaneously modern and timeless. However, the Bauhaus chess set is more than meets the eye. The pieces are not only designed to be artistically striking but are actually inspired by the movement capabilities and value of each piece in the game.
The Bauhaus chess set would make a gorgeous statement piece in any room of the house. It also could be a special gift for anyone who loves both chess and that clean-lined Bauhaus design style. This set closely replicates the original Josef Hartwig Bauhaus chess set. We choose for this aesthetic set of pieces a chessboard black without edge of 45 cm.
