Supreme Staunton ebbehouten schaakstukken
Deze prachtige Staunton schaakstukken verdienen een punt in hun geschiedenis; in de 19e eeuw was Londen een belangrijke centrum voor het productie van schaakstukken. John Jaques, een van de belangrijkste ivoor- en houtdraaier toen, besloot om het uiterlijk van de schaakstukken mooier en functioneler te maken. Samen met zijn partner Nathaniel Cook, gaan ze in 1849 hun model afwerken en registreren ter ere van Howard Staunton, een voormalige charismatieke schaakspeler en journalist. Een soort marketingstunt vooruit op zijn tijd.
De Staunton stukken zijn stabieler door hun brede basis en de algemene esthetiek van de stukken is getransformeerd: De toren wordt een onneembare vesting, de lijn van de pionnen is verfijnd, de mijter van de loper is vereenvoudigd, men onderscheid beter de kroon van de koning, dankzij het kruis, van diegenen van de dame met haar puntige kraag. En bovenal, het ultra-realistische uiterlijk van het paard roept resoluut een gevecht op. Stijl waarvan we duidelijk de inspiratie terug vinden in de fries van de Parthénon, meesterwerk van de Griekse beeldhouwwerk in de 5eeuw v.Chr. die grotendeels bewaard is gebleven in het Britisch museeum van Londen.
De Staunton stukken kenden snel een groot succes en werden in 1924 officieel voorgeschreven voor competie. Sinds het oorspronkelijke model van 1849 werden verschillende varianten van Staunton gemaakt en zijn nu over de hele wereld beschikbaar voor schaakspelers, maar ze blijven trouw aan de "John Jaques stijl".
Deze Supreme Staunton schaakstukken zijn gevilt en verzwaard. Ze zijn gesneden in een dicht, imitatie ebbehout, van een uitzonderlijke diepe zwarte. Ze zijn perfect gepolijst, glad en glanzend, en fijn geglitterd met oxalzuur kristallen. Waardoor ze bij licht een zo bezondere schittering hebben.
Ntirlis - Playing the English
The English Opening arises after 1.c4, and is a great practical weapon for players of all levels. White dictates the opening from the very first move, and often reaches positions where understanding themes and plans is more important than the latest computer-generated analysis.
Nikolaos Ntirlis has been Playing the English successfully for many years in high-level correspondence events, as well as teaching it to students ranging from club players to Grandmasters. While his analysis is first-rate, Ntirlis also understands the differing needs between correspondence and human play, and this repertoire is specifically tailored towards practical players.
Playing the English – A World-Class Repertoire provides a complete repertoire with 1.c4, showing how to meet every major option that Black may try. Each section of the book begins with an introduction outlining the main plans and concepts, so you will be equipped with both the strategic and theoretical knowledge needed to crush your opponents.
Nikolaos Ntirlis is an award-winning author, openings expert, and Correspondence IM. He has worked as an openings adviser to numerous GMs, including the Danish Olympiad team.

Gonzalez - The English defence
The English Defence (1 d4 e6 2 c4 b6) is a dynamic, counter-attacking line, initially investigated by English grandmasters. Black aims to set White difficult problems to solve at the very earliest stage of the game. Black’s play is provocative – aiming to lure White into establishing a big pawn centre. This is a risky strategy as White falls behind in development and Black switfly becomes very active. However, if White’s response is more circumspect then Black can often manoeuvre into favourable structures reminiscent of positions arising from the Nimzo-Indian Defence, the Queen’s Indian Defence or even the Dutch.
José González provides an excellent analysis of this complex opening and carves out a powerful repertoire for Black covering all lines after 1 d4. It is possible for White to avoid the "English battle" by playing either 2 Nf3 or even 2 e4 (a rare move for 1 d4 players but seen occasionally). Gonzalez champions an aggressive variant of the Dutch against 2 Nf3 and outlines a simple but effective French Defence repertoire to counter 2 e4.
- A complete repertoire for Black to counter 1 d4.
- The question and answer approach provides an excellent study method. 318 pages
MARTIN - Queens pawn openings DVD
Titre un peu flou : en fait, il est question ici de toutes les ouvertures avec 1.d4, mais sans c4 : Trompowsky, Torre, Colle, Système de Londres, Blackmar-Diemer et tutti quanti. Utile surtout pour les noirs, bien sûr.
Zohar & Manella - Think Like a Machine
With the ascent of computer technology, humans have a chance to develop their thinking process based on hard evidence. Think Like a Machine explores human limitations and proposes new avenues for human thinking, inspired by computer engines.
In positions taken almost exclusively from modern tournament play, the authors present jaw-dropping continuations which humans struggle to find, not due to lower human computing power, due to conceptual and perceptual limitations. In this book these “crazy” moves are analysed and categorised. If you want to expand your chess imagination, understanding and intuition, Think Like a Machine is the book is for you.
Think Like A Machine is the second chess book co-written by Noam Manella and Zeev Zohar. Manella is a digital and Social Networks Researcher; Zohar is an accountant and businessman. Their previous book, Play Unconventional Chess and Win, was a highlight in chess publishing in 2014.

BEZGODOV - The liberated bishop defence
In many 1.d4 openings, Black has trouble getting his bishop on c8 into play. Former Russian Chess Champion Alexey Bezgodov presents a radical solution to this nagging problem; liberate your bishop right away and put it on f5 on the second move!
Play 2...Bf5! against either 2.c4 or 2.Nf3 will surprise your opponent and is also a great way to support your development, because the bishop takes control of the important square e4. If White does not immediately take decisive action, then within a move or two he can relinquish any hopes on an opening advantage.
Alexey Bezgodov has found some great antidotes to White's most dangerous reactions in sharp and attractive lines. To test your understanding of his system he has included more than 100 exercises. After studying the fresh ideas and the clear explanations presented in The Liberated Bishop Defencechess players of almost every strength will enjoy the flexibility of a surprising, effective and universal weapon against 1.d4.
