Van der Sterren - In black and white ( The chess autobiography of a world championship candidate)
In Black and White is probably the most honest autobiography ever published by a chess grandmaster. It covers Paul van der Sterren’s rise to the chess elite, but above all, his struggle to become a better player, his insecurities and the difficulties he encountered.
This book provides a hugely illuminating insight into the life of a chess professional, but there is a lot in his story that will resonate with players of any level. From his first moves on the chess board to his Candidates Match against Gata Kamsky, only four steps away from the World title – everything is described in great detail and with the utmost frankness by the Dutch grandmaster. The story doesn’t end there – the book’s final part describes the slow decline of an ageing pro and his eventual shift to meditation and mindfulness.
The Dutch edition of In Black and White, which contains more than 300 deeply analysed games and fragments, was published in 2011 and has achieved cult status. With this English translation, it will finally get a well-deserved wider audience.
Paul van der Sterren (1956) was a professional chess player for over twenty years. He won the Dutch Championship in 1985 and 1993 and played for the Dutch team at eight Olympiads. Van der Sterren lost to Gata Kamsky after a great fight in a Candidates Match in 1994. He has written several chess books, of which Fundamental Chess Openings (2009) is the best known. In Dutch, he has also written several books on mindfulness. 768 pages
FTACNICK, KOPEC, BROWNE - Champions of the New Millenium
18 champions, quatre parties commentées par tête de pipe, histoire de faire connaissance : l'idée n'est pas nouvelle, mais le résultat toujours intéressant pour qui ne suit pas au jour le jour l'actu échiquéenne. Reste que le choix, tant des joueurs (la quasi-retraitée Judit Polgar dans les champions du nouveau millénaire ?) que des parties (quatre parties des années 90 pour Anand) pose question, et se révèle décevant pour le public français - Mamedyarov mais pas Bacrot, Karjakin mais pas Vachier
KASPAROV - Revolution in the 70's - part I
Le mal rasé de Bakou ayant donc changé d'avis en cours de route, voici, en lieu et place de l'attendu My Great Predecessors 6, le premier volume d'une nouvelle série consacrée à l'évolution de la théorie des ouvertures à l'époque moderne - celle-ci démarrant, assez arbitrairement, à la retraite de Fischer. C'est l'occasion de passer en revue aussi bien des systèmes effectivement nés durant les années 70 (Sveshnikov...) que d'autres simplement développés durant la même période (Caro-Kann classique avec 4...Ff5), ou encore certains dont l'heure de gloire viendra en fait nettement plus tard (6.Fe3 dans la Najdorf, 4...a6 dans la Slave). Au total, beaucoup de choses intéressantes, mais une impression globale un peu confuse et un intérêt pratique peut-être discutable. A part çà, nos bons amis anglais ont apparemment décidé que la vache à lait ne meuglait pas encore assez fort : ils en ont donc remis une couche sur le prix. Merci, Everyman !
