Fleischman - The Richter - Veresov Attack (Qd3 variation)
Do you play 1.d4, but feel discouraged by the seemingly limitless number of finely honed defensive systems available to Black? If you’re put off by the idea of having to learn massive amounts of theory just to reach a playable middlegame, then The Richter-Veresov Attack: Qd3 Variation might be just what you’re looking for.
Right away, you’ll be taking your opponents out of their preparation and into your comfort zone. While the Richter-Veresov has developed its own “book” over the years, Eric Fleischman shows you how to bypass a lot of that body of theory, too, with an early deployment of the queen to d3, an idea sometimes known as the Amazon Attack.
Covering a wide range of setups that Black could adopt in response (including French, Caro-Kann, Indian, Benoni, and Dutch formations), the author uses games by international players and examples from his own play to show how experience and a sense of the position count for more than memorized lines in The Richter-Veresov Attack: Qd3 Variation.

Edge - The exploits and triumphs in Europe of Paul Morphy the chess champion
OUT OF STOCK
After having conquered chess America, Paul Morphy issued a challenge to European chess players and traveled there to play the best players of the game, and in particular wanting to face Howard Staunton, the English master who was widely considered to be the best player in the world.
The present book, written by his private secretary, Frederick Milnes Edge, includes accounts and letters of the efforts of Morphy and his supporters to have him face the best players. As you will read, not all of the efforts succeeded.
In the second part of the book, we include a shorter book by C. A. Buck, Paul Morphy - His Later Life, which covers Morphy's life after returning to the US and giving up chess. 173 pages

This should not become a cornerstone of your repertoire, but you are guaranteed a bunch of fun and entertaining games. 320 pages

Horwitz/Kling - Chess studies and endgames
OUT OF STOCK
In 1851, Horwitz & Kling published the first edition of the book. The collection of endgame studies was truly monumental, covering endgames of all types, often uncovering previously unknown truths about a variety of endgames, both simple and more complex ones.
After the passing of his colleague Kling, Horwitz started preparing a manuscript for a new, expanded edition. However, in 1885, he passed as well, and it was only through the effort of William Wayte that the second edition was published in 1889.
In this new edition, all of their compositions and analysis have been thoroughly reanalyzed by FIDE Master Carsten Hansen. 182 pages
Backgammon tome I : Initiation et perfectionnement
La bible du backgammon enfin disponible en français. Au backgammon, comme dans tous les grands jeux de réflexion, une position présente des forces, des faiblesses, des potentialités qu'il faut savoir reconnaître et utiliser. A cet aspect positionnel, les dés ajoutent une part d'incertitude qui rend ce jeu unique, où compréhension stratégique et maîtrise des probabilités doivent aller de conserve. Ce premier tome commence par exposer les règles, avant de présenter les concepts de base (course, holding game, blitz et primes) à travers quatre parties-types. Quelques notions simples sur les ouvertures et le videau complètent cette partie qui suffira au bonheur du joueur occasionnel. La fin du volume traite de concepts stratégiques (constructeurs, flexibilité, diversification...) et tactiques (blots forcés) nettement plus ambitieux, à aborder donc en liaison avec le second tome.
