Markos, Navara - The Secret Ingredient to Winning Chess

This time, it's not you should know, but you must know... it's the crème de la crème of endgame studies (as the title indicates, there are 100), compiled and commented on by one of the world's leading specialists, the Dutch GM Jan Timman.

Divided into 5 chapters, it starts with affordable studies and ends with extremely complex positions. 231 pages

While today, Reginald Pryce Michell (1873-1938) is largely forgotten, he was a quiet giant of his time. A leading British master, he beat all nationally leading players from Blackburne and Atkins to Golombek, as well as internationally renowned players such as Bogoljubow, Reti and Sultan Khan, and drew former, reigning, and future world champions such as Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, and Botwinnik.
His best individual result was in Margate 1923, where he shared second place with Alekhine and Bogoljubow. As a team player, Michell was part of the team that won bronze in the 1927 Chess Olympiad.
In 1947, Julius Du Mont, then editor of British Chess Magazine, wrote a biography on Michell with a selection of his games. The annotations to the original game selection have been considerably expanded, and another thirty thoroughly annotated games have been added by Carsten Hansen. 313 pages
