Move First, Think Later Sense and Nonsense in Improving Your Chess by IM Willy Hendriks

Nuevo título anunciado por la editorial newinchess. En esta ocasión el IM Willy Hendriks y experimentado entrenador presenta numerosos ejercicios para la mejora en ajedrez. Todo ello en un entorno sobre el potencial y últimos avances en el funcionamiento de nuestro cerebro, la elección de jugadas candidatas, de reflexión sobre sentido o no de las jugadas, el talento, el tiempo aplicado en la elección de jugadas, la planificación...

Una vez más como sucede con los títulos de la editorial newinchess existe un retraso de dos meses en la disponibilidad de este título, aunque pueda actualizarse en cualquier momento para su envío inmediato lo cual os notificaré. Lo mejor su precio como siempre...

Información oficial:

The chess instruction establishment claims that all you need to do is concentrate on the characteristics of a position. Stick to some rules of thumb and good moves will pop up more or less automatically.

But that is not how it works, finds International Master Willy Hendriks. Chess players, both weak and strong, don’t first make a plan before looking at candidate moves. Trial and error is a very common and in fact highly effective way to get to the best move.

In his journey into the chess-playing mind, Hendriks uses recent scientific insights in the working of our brain. He raises a number of intriguing questions:

• Can you, too (whether you are talented or not), become a grandmaster?
• Why does a chess trainer’s advice often sound like a horoscope?
• Can you find strong moves by ticking off a to-do list?
• Is it possible to reach master level without ever making a plan?
Presents a wealth of valuable, no-nonsense training material. In this refreshing, entertaining and highly instructive book, Willy Hendriks shows how you can travel light on the road to chess improvement!

International Master Willy Hendriks (1966) has been working as a chess trainer for over 25 years. Inspired by recent developments in the cognitive sciences, he challenges the conventional wisdom in chess instruction.

Steve Giddins, author of 50 Ways to Win at Chess:
“What a fantastic book! I have not enjoyed reading an instructional book so much in years. I was laughing out loud throughout, because it is very witty, but it is also a really important instructional volume.”

Mayhem in the Morra by Marc Esserman

En los tiempos que corren causa sorpresa ver nuevos títulos dedicados a aperturas tan sorprendentes como el Gambito Morra contra la defensa siciliana, pero si este título viene de la mano de la prestigiosa editorial qualitychess con el respaldo del MI americano Marc Esserman quizás debiera ser tenido en cuenta como una arma sorpresa o no tan sorpresa...

Información oficial: 

Mayhem in the Morra offers a complete fighting repertoire for White against the Sicilian with 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3. The Morra Gambit is a popular weapon at club level, but can it be effective at GM level? Marc Esserman believes so and he has 2700-rated scalps to back up his view.

Esserman is the world's leading expert on the Morra Gambit and he shares all his secrets and many novelties in a lively witty style. The Morra leads to exciting gambit play, so some players decline the offer with 3...Nf6 - Esserman also shows how White can attack this cautious defence.

Don't be afraid of the Sicilian - unleash Mayhem in the Morra!

• A complete anti-Sicilian repertoire
• Ideal for attacking players
• Hundreds of novelties and improvements

Marc Esserman is an IM from the USA who has played and analysed the Morra Gambit for most of his life.

Foreword by GM Larry Christiansen:

 
"In 2011, when preparing for the US Championship, I decided to employ the Morra Gambit as a surprise weapon if given the chance. Marc supplied me with a vast amount of analysis and novelties for that tournament and I became convinced that the gambit was not only dangerous, but perfectly sound. There is no greater authority in the world on this line than Marc Esserman and he lays it all out there in this book."

Información oficial:

"A True Professional"

From his childhood, Vladimir Tukmakov realized that there was something special about his ability to play chess. He had it all - talent, skill and motivation.After winning many junior and student tournaments, he went on to play in fourteen Soviet championships at a time when these were considered some of the most powerful competitions in the world.

You are now invited to join the author in a very personal autobiographical journey, as he traces his development from one of many gifted chessplaying children to a powerful international grandmaster, a member of the world's chess elite. For Tukmakov, chess was more than just a hobby or passion - it was his profession.

From talented boy and strong grandmaster to twice leading the Ukrainian team to gold medals in the 2004 and 2010 Olympiads, Tukmakov’s story is a fascinating glimpse into the "golden era" of the Soviet School of Chess, and the trials and tribulations of individual will and genius.

Included are dozens of photographs and over 40 deeply annotated games against some of the strongest chessplayers in the world.

"Profession: Chessplayer is an outstanding work that belongs in every chessplayer's library ... I give this book my strongest recommendation." John Donaldson at JeremySilman.com
