Van Perlo - Endgame Tactics New, Improved and Expanded Edition

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

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

Un bon manuel de démarrage sur la plus importante - et la plus rébarbative - portion de la théorie des finales. Clairement destiné à tous ceux qui ont du mal à venir à bout des ouvrages ''''classiques'''', il utilise à fond tous les procédés possibles pour tenter de rendre le sujet plus aimable : style direct - jusque dans les légendes des diagrammes, conseils bien trempés, interactivité... Résultat probant : si vous n'arrivez à rien avec celui-là, laissez tomber le sujet...""

Le sous-titre est ' Winning battles over the board ', ce qui est un trait d'humour : sur le 22 parties personnelles que le MI américain a choisi de nous présenter ici, il n'en a en effet gagné que 8 L'humour est d'ailleurs le principal atout de ce petit traité de baston échiquéenne (traduction approximative du titre, mais qui reflète assez fidèlement le contenu), anecdotique sans doute, mais hautement lisible et non dépourvu d'intérêt - tant il est vrai que les gamelles sont souvent plus riches d'enseignements que les triomphes
