| Title: A Matter of Endgame Technique |
| By (author): Jacob Aagaard |
| ISBN10-13: 178483162X : 9781784831622 |
| The most hated cliche in chess is: And the rest is a matter of technique. In A Matter of Endgame Technique Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard deals with one of the few things chessplayers hate even more losing a winning position. No serious chessplayer is new to the misery of spoiling hours of hard work in a few minutes. A Matter of Endgame Technique offers the second-best happiness the misfortune of others as well as deep explanation of the underlying patterns of how and why we misplay winning endgames. At just under 900 pages, this hardcover book is actually six books in one, explaining the technical and practical areas of chess endgames plainly, simply and deeply. Endgame theory is well covered elsewhere; this book is all about technique and devoid of material to memorise. |

| Title: A Spanish Repertoire for Black |
| By (author): Mihail Marin |
| ISBN10-13: 9197600504 : 9789197600507 |
| As the title suggests, the repertoire is based on the respected Spanish Opening, or the Ruy Lopez, as it is sometimes called. In his previous book, Beating the Open Games, Grandmaster Mihail Marin dealt with Whiteâ s options up to 3.Bb5. Now Marin provides all the answers for Black after 4.Ba4. This depth of chess expertise has rarely been published for a mass audience before, as grandmasters usually prefer to keep their secrets. The complexity of the material could have been daunting, but Marin is also a master of explaining profound ideas to a wide audience. |

| Title: Advanced Chess Tactics |
| By (author): Lev Psakhis |
| ISBN10-13: 1784830933 : 9781784830939 |
| A mastery of tactics is essential to a competitive chess player, and the original Advanced Chess Tactics became an instant classic in this field. â This book is absolutely superb. For serious players... this volume will provide a wonderful breadth of study material and act as a workbook to advance your skills and understanding of this important topic...â was Carsten Hansenâ s comment when awarding the book 6/6 stars. This new edition benefits from various analytical tweaks, plus an entirely new chapter dedicated to attacking in the French Defence, an opening which the author knows better than almost anyone, having played it for most of his career. Readers are sure to find this an invaluable addition to the original chapters, which remain usefully categorized by opening or common pawn structure. |

| Title: Attacking Manual 2 |
| By (author): Jacob Aagaard |
| ISBN10-13: 9197600415 : 9789197600415 |
| The old masters dealt only with the static features of positional rules. But, these are insufficient to explain the basics of chess. The problem is that chess, like other sciences, has undergone a dynamic revolution, but chess literature does not yet reflect this. In this major work Aagaard explains the rules of attack (the exploitation of a dynamic advantage), balanced between understandable examples, and deep analysis. Five years in the making, this book deals with weak kings, sacrifices, various minor attacking themes, intuitive sacrifices, opposite castling, modern king hunts, and enduring initiative.

| Title: Attacking the Spanish |
| By (author): Sabino Brunello |
| ISBN10-13: 1906552177 : 9781906552176 |
| The Spanish opening, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, is so respected that many Black players immediately start defending. Brunello shows that Black can engage in a tense fight for the win right from the start. The three gambits considered in this book have all been tested by top-10 players, with good results, within the last year. The Marshall Attack The Marshall Attack,1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5, is sound and aggressive, so it is no surprise that it is favoured by the worldâ s best. The theory is so complex that an expert guide is required, and Brunello is well suited to the task, having played the Marshall for most of his chess career. The Schliemann The Schliemann 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5, with its reversed Kingâ s Gambit flair, has always been popular with club players, but grandmasters knew it was unsound. Then Teimour Radjabov started playing it successfully against the elite and sparked a revival. The Gajewski variation The Gajewski variation, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3 Na5 10.Bc2 d5, is brand new. The position after Whiteâ s tenth move had been reached a thousand times with 10â ¦c5 universally played, when in the summer of 2007 the Polish grandmaster Gajewski revealed that Black has a fascinating gambit at his disposal. |

| Title: Beating the Queenâ s Gambit |
| Sub-title: Indian Style! |
| By (author): Renier Castellanos |
| ISBN10-13: 1784832367 : 9781784832360 |
| This book advocates the 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 move order for Black â with 3.Nc3 Bb4 having been covered in the sister volume Playing the Nimzo-Indian. By waiting for the knight to appear on f3 before transposing to a Queenâ s Gambit, Black reduces Whiteâ s options. Spanish GM Renier Castellanos completes his cutting-edge repertoire for Black against 1.d4, with the Vienna Variation (4.Nc3 dxc4) and Catalan (4.g3 dxc4) the biggest topics. This book also provides thorough guidance against all of Whiteâ s significant alternatives on moves 2-4. With thoughtful explanations backed up by precise analysis, Beating the Queenâ s Gambit â Indian Style! provides everything you need to handle 1.d4 Nf6 variations where White avoids the Nimzo-Indian Defence. |
