He explained how modern players have become more willing than their predecessors to favor dynamic rather than static considerations and have increasingly flouted the restrictive ''rules'' of earlier times. The outstanding results of Kasparov and the rise of a new generation of super-grandmasters testify to the effectiveness of this dynamic and free-thinking philosophy that has enriched modern chess. In this new work, Watson reinforces his theory and extends it into new areas, illustrating modern chess practice with numerous examples from imaginative players such as Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Ivanchuk and stormy innovators such as Zhirov and Morozevich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAnyone who has enjoyed \u003cstrong\u003eSecrets of Modern Chess Strategy\u003c\/strong\u003e will appreciate the detailed explanation of important concepts.

The author, Garry Kasparov, is the world number one and, by common consent, the greatest player ever. The subject of the book, Bobby Fischer, is the only American to have become world champion and is probably the greatest natural talent the world has ever seen.\\r\\nIn the period between 1955 and 1972 Fischer, more or less single-handedly, took on the might of the Soviet Chess Empire, and won. During this time Fischer scored astonishing successes the like of which had not been seen before. These included 11\/11 in the 1963\/64 US Championship and match victories (en route to the World Championship) by the score of 6-0 against two of the strongest players in the world, Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen. The climax of Fischer's campaign was his unforgettable match win in Reykjavik in 1972 against Boris Spassky. Fischer is almost equally well-known for his temperamental behaviour away from the board, as his play on it. He made extreme demands of everyone around him, including tournament organizers. When these demands were not met he often refused to play. The 1972 match against Spassky required the intervention of no less than Henry Kissinger to smooth things over. In 1975, when he was due to defend his title against Anatoly Karpov, Fischer was completely unable to agree terms with FIDE (the World Chess Federation) and was defaulted. After this he more or less gave up chess, playing only once, a \\''return\\'' match against Spassky in 1992.\\r\\nIn this book, a must for all serious chessplayers, Kasparov analyses deeply Fischer\\''s greatest games and assesses the legacy of this great American genius. 2nd edition 2015, hardcover, English.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everyman Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923928904000,"sku":"10480","price":39.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/8415\/3664\/files\/view_archive_d0b775af-d84d-47bc-a153-e84e885821c7.jpg?v=1784660950"},{"product_id":"tal-tal-botvinik-1960","title":"Valley: Tal-Botvinik 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Mikhail Tal's splendid account of his world championship match victory is one of the masterpieces of the golden age of annotation – before insights and feelings and flashes of genius were reduced to mere moves and informant symbols.

In his excellent commentaries on the games, Reti devoted himself primarily to the underlying plans and ideas, thereby conveying his profound knowledge to the reader in an understandable way. The conception of the book is clear from the following quote: \\''There is much more chess truth in the ideas than in the variations. Although these can be found printed in black and white in thick, scientific books, they usually prove to be wrong after a few years, sometimes even before they come out of the press.
