Comment mûrir son style aux échecs fut considéré dès sa parution comme un classique des temps modernes. Mais à présent, cette 4e édition définitive propulse l'idée révolutionnaire des déséquilibres à un niveau inégalé. Destiné aux joueurs classés entre 1400 et 2100 et aux enseignants du jeu, le livre propose un périple hallucinant au pays des déséquilibres, s'assure que le lecteur a maîtrisé chaque détail de chaque déséquilibre, et procure à l'amateur quelque chose qu'il cherchait depuis toujours mais sans vraiment y croire: les fondements positionnels jusque-là réservés aux maîtres.
Un chapitre de psychologie pratique (intitulé Divagations psychologiques) présente des idées inédites sur les processus psychologiques nuisant aux joueurs peu importe leur niveau, et propose des conseils et des techniques pour aider tout un chacun à venir à bout de ses omniprésentes lacunes mentales et émotionnelles.
Tous les thèmes du livre sont illustrés de manière frappante par des centaines de parties saupoudrées de prose instructive, et par d'amusantes anecdotes qui aident à mieux faire ressortir les points importants.
Si les chefs-d'oeuvre positionnels des joueurs légendaires vous ont toujours semblé inaccessibles, si la stratégie est toujours demeurée une énigme insoluble, si vous vous êtes toujours considéré comme un simple pion plutôt qu'un maître du jeu positionnel , alors cette nouvelle édition de Comment mûrir son style aux échecs pourrait changer votre vie.

Pavlovic - The modernized Semi-Slav (Hardcover)
The Semi-Slav Defense transcends its classification as a mere defensive response to 1.d4. It embodies a dynamic and multifaceted system that offers Black not only solidity in defense but also active counterplay and strategic flexibility. Here’s why the Semi-Slav is more than just a defense:
Rather than passively defending, the Semi-Slav allows Black to counterattack in the center and on the flanks. Moves like …e6-e5 and …c6-c5 often lead to sharp, tactical positions where Black can seize the initiative.
By delaying the development of the knight to f6, Black achieves a solid pawn structure with pawns on d5, e6, and c6. This structure provides a firm foundation for Black’s pieces and restricts White’s options for pawn breaks.
The Semi-Slav leads to strategically rich positions with multiple pawn breaks and piece maneuvers. Both sides must navigate intricate plans, making it a fertile ground for creative play and deep strategic understanding. Within the Semi-Slav, there are numerous variations and sub-variations, each with its own unique characteristics and strategic ideas. Players can tailor their repertoire to suit their style and preferences, whether they prefer solid, positional play or aggressive, tactical battles.
The Semi-Slav has been embraced by many top-level players, including World Champions like Vladimir Kramnik and Viswanathan Anand. Their success with the opening at the highest levels of competition demonstrates its effectiveness and versatility.
In essence, the Semi-Slav Defense transcends its classification as a defensive system by offering Black a rich tapestry of strategic possibilities and dynamic play. It is a complete repertoire choice that can suit a wide range of playing styles and preferences. 173 p.
Yap - Queen's Gambit Accepted
OUT OF STOCK
The Queen’s Gambit Accepted (1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4) has a long history and has always been popular at all levels of play. However, in the past few years it has undergone an explosion of interest, thanks to many new discoveries of possibilities for very dynamic play from Black. One of these is the line 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4 3 e4 b5!?. This was previously thought to be a very poor line for Black but numerous recent games and investigations have completely changed this assessment. This is now almost the main line of the Queen’s Gambit Accepted and there is currently very little theoretical material on it.
Nicolas Yap analyses this line in forensic detail and also investigates other popular, counterattacking lines such as 3 e3 e5!?. The book is rounded off with suggestions to meet other White systems that involve 1 d4 but not 2 c4 (such as the London, Colle etc.) This makes the book a complete repertoire to face 1 d4.
- A complete repertoire for Black to counter 1 d4.
- The question and answer approach provides an excellent study method. 448 pages

PAVLOVIC - OPENING REPERTOIRE : STRATEGIC PLAY WITH 1D4
In this book the highly experienced grandmaster Milos Pavlovic outlines a powerful repertoire for White based on 1 d4. The variations are very much based on strategic themes where an understanding of plans is far more important than memorisation of lines and move orders. The author focuses on important positional considerations such as:
- Which pieces need to be traded off.
- On which squares will pieces be most effective.
- What is the best way to develop the initiative.
Nowadays many strong players try to beat opponents by learning sharp lines in the opening. However, it is also possible to do the same by obtaining positions where you have a great understanding of how to conduct the middlegame and thus can consistently outplay your opponent.
In Opening Repertoire: Strategic Play with 1 d4, Milos Pavlovic guides the reader through the chosen variations and carves out a complete repertoire for White. He examines all aspects of play and provides the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on the opening and contains instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans.
- A complete repertoire for White with 1 d4.
- A question and answer approach provides an excellent study method.
