Sokolov - Winning Chess Middlegames
Have you ever wondered why it takes grandmasters just seconds to see what's happening in a chess position? It's all about pawn structures, as Ivan Sokolov explained in his groundbreaking book Winning Chess Middlegames.
In his 2010 bestseller, Grandmaster Sokolov focused on structures arising from 1.d4 openings; in this new companion guide, 1.e4 players get their turn. This new volume covers a dozen topical structures including various pawn formations in the flexible Ruy Lopez, Italian and Petroff openings. But also Black's doubled f-pawn in the Rauzer Sicilian, the notorious Maroczy Bind, the mysterious Hedgehog, the versatile Sveshnikov and the paradoxical French Winawer. Deeply analysed top-level games illustrate the motifs in all these structures.
Club players who study Winning Chess Middlegames 1.e4 or 1.d4 will:
- significantly improve their middlegame skills
- develop an accurate sense of which positions suit their style
- gain new strategic and practical knowledge of openings
Ivan Sokolov's analysis is profound but accessible, and he doesn't take anything for granted. As reviewer Sean Marsh wrote of the first volume: "The lucid and informative explanations convey a large amount of genuine Grandmasterly wisdom. This is easily one of the best middlegame books of recent times."
Ivan Sokolov is a top grandmaster who was born in Bosnia and lives in the Netherlands. He is a former Yugoslav and Dutch Champion and has beaten World Champions Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik and Viswanathan Anand. As a coach, he led Uzbekistan to victory at the 2022 Chennai Olympiad. Sokolov has written a dozen highly acclaimed books.
DVORETSKY,YUSUPOV - Secrets of Creative Thinking
Puisqu'on est dans le pédagogique, signalons donc la (re)sortie du cinquième et dernier tome de la série School of Future Champions - re puisqu'il s'agit en fait de la réédition de Attack and Defense paru naguère (1998) chez Batsford. Recommandable tout de même : les leçons de la Dvoretsky's Chess Scholl ne se périment pas si vite
PSAKHIS - Advanced Chess Tactics
Malgré le titre, ce livre de l'ex-champion d'URSS (comme cela semble loin) n'est pas un manuel de tactique, mais un traité sur l'attaque - ce qui est assez différent. Il nous expose en effet, à travers des parties complètes amplement commentées (puisées dans les carrières de Tal, Petrosian et naturellement lui-même), les thèmes offensifs propres à différents types d'ouvertures et de positions (Sicilienne, Caro, pion-dame isolé) Nourri d'une énorme expérience, servi par un style vivant, voilà un livre qui sort du lot.
BEIM - The Enigma of Chess Intuition
Beim devrait peut-être suivre la méthode Suba : ses livres me donnent toujours une impression de brouillon Ce nouvel opus est composé de deux sections distinctes qui joignent assez mal - d'abord un voyage à travers des parties connues de grands champions du passé, puis un cours sur l'analyse de la position et la détection des coups-candidats. Des éléments intéressants, mais à l'arrivée, on ne peut pas vraiment dire que l'énigme soit résolue
