AAGAARD - Excelling at Technical Chess
Passons donc au nouvel opus (n°2) du polygraphe danois. Titre et sous-titre tentent de ratisser large, le premier faisant une évidente référence à la sempiternelle expression 'le reste n'est plus qu'une question de technique' (qui, pour l'amateur lambda, précède généralement une bourde lamentable évaporant tout avantage, ou pire), le second nous promettant 'd'apprendre à identifier et exploiter de petits avantages'. Tout cela n'est pas faux, mais ne dit pas clairement le thème central du livre, à savoir ce que l'on nomme généralement les finales complexes (avec 2, 3, voire 4 pièces de chaque côté) - en somme la phase séparant le mileu de jeu de la finale élémentaire et bien classifiée. C'est peu dire qu'il s'agit là d'un sujet rarement traité, malgré son importance pratique; on se félicitera donc sans réserve de cette parution, pour une fois vraiment utile. On retrouve au fil du livre les qualités (application, sérieux des commentaires, souci de clarté...) et les défauts (meli-melo des concepts, nombrilisme agaçant, goût des exemples extrêmes...) du MI danois - mais cette fois, l'originalité du sujet suffit à emporter l'adhésion.

Shankland - Theoretical Rook Endgames
Rook endgames are the most important to study, because they are the type of endgame you will face most often over the board. Working on rook endgames gives the biggest bang for your buck.
World-class grandmaster Sam Shankland explains technical rook endgames in a way that is clearer, better organized, more concise, and easier to understand than any previous work. After learning the vital set positions, the reader is offered lots of rules and guidelines to correctly assess any theoretical rook endgame they have not yet memorized.
Theoretical Rook Endgames is the ideal guide to a vital topic in chess. After reading this book, you will know which positions must be memorized, and which positions are best handled by considering general principles.
The sister volume – Conceptual Rook Endgames by Jacob Aagaard – shows how the theoretical knowledge shown in the present book is used in advanced practical play.
GM Sam Shankland is the 2018 US Champion, 2016 Olympiad gold medal winner for teams and 2014 individual gold medal winner. He has played Board 1 for the US in the World Team Championship and competed with the best players in the world in Wijk aan Zee, St. Louis, Prague and elsewhere. Hardcover 448 pages

WATSON - Mastering the Chess Openings vol. 1
Mazette, le beau pavé... Ceci est donc le premier volume (d'une série de deux, rassurez-vous...) du nouveau traité général d'ouvertures de chez Gambit. Evidemment, ceux qui ont vu le nom de l'auteur se doutent que ce livre va bien au-delà du simple catalogue encyclopédique. C'est en fait un vrai manuel explicatif des mécanismes de l'ouverture, et un exposé solide des principes guidant chaque grande variante - en fait, un digne successeur aux Idées cachées de Fine. Beau boulot.

Bogdanovich - From Vienna to Munich to Stockholm ( A chess biography of Rudolph Spielman)
Rudolf Spielmann was one of the strongest chess players in the world in the first half of the 20th century. Following his shared second place at the Carlsbad tournament in 1929 with Capablanca, half a point behind Nimzowitsch, he was considered one of the world's top five. His career spread over four decades and included a host of tournament and match victories, such as defeating Bogoljubov over ten games in 1932.
Often known as the Last Romantic in chess with his predilection for the King's Gambit and Vienna Game and love of sacrifices, he bequeathed a rich legacy of ideas and techniques. These combinational and positional master classes are examined here in 213 instructional games and fragments, organized thematically in a way similar to Grigory Bogdanovich's previous volumes on Bogoljubov.
Detailed commentary is provided on games against leading contemporaries. Opponents in this work include five world champions Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, and Botvinnik, as well as Marshall, Janowski, Tarrasch, Tartakower, Nimzowitsch, Reti, Rubinstein, Romanovsky, Bogoljubov, and many others. Bogdanovich's commentary is richly supplemented by that of stars of the epoch and, above all, of Spielmann himself.
The book further contains a biographical sketch and is supplemented by a large number of tournament photographs and portraits. Spielmann's life was ultimately tragic - a lonely death in Sweden aged just 59 as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany following the demise three years earlier of his sponsor, while several family members failed to escape the Holocaust.
Additional materials in the book include a detailed table of tournaments and matches from his career, as well as a translation of Spielmann's fascinating article dating to 1923 called "From the Sickbed of the King's Gambit". 460 pages
