Grabinsky/Eleksiyenko - Turbo-charge your tactics 2
Turbo-Charge Your Tactics 2 concludes a multi-year effort by GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko and world-renowned trainer IM Vladimir Grabinsky to create the perfect chess puzzle books. This second volume builds upon the first, using games from the World Champions and their challengers. Most chess games are decided by tactics, so solving tactical puzzles is the most effective path to improvement.
This book also contains a special chapter with expert guidance on how to use chess engines. The engines might analyse precisely but they can also harm our chess understanding if followed blindly, so we must know when and how to use them. Hardcover 280 pages
Lisitsin - Key elements of chess tactics
Georgy Lisitsin (1909-72) was a respected Soviet master, theoretician and writer. In 1958 he published a revised edition of his most ambitious work, entitled Strategy and Tactics of Chess, which became one of the most legendary manuals in the Soviet chess school, and no doubt one of the books that motivated the young Bobby Fischer to learn Russian.
Lisitsin broke down Strategy and Tactics into their key constituent elements, enabling players of all levels to study chess systematically, learning from carefully selected game fragments and studies. Key Elements of Chess Tactics and its companion volume Key Elements of Chess Strategy are the first ever complete English translations of Lisitsin’s classic.
In Key Elements of Chess Tactics, Lisitsin illustrates key tactical concepts such as pinning, discovered attacks and checks, deflection, interference and many more, building a foundation before moving on to more complex and beautiful tactical themes. 392 pages
Franco - Learn from Sammy Reshevsky
In his heyday, Samuel Reshevsky was one of the great contenders for the world title and, according to Bobby Fischer, for a period of about ten years, from 1946 to 1956, he was the best player in the world.
This book contains sixty of his best games, all analysed and annotated.
It also includes exercises and answers to various questions that might arise in the mind of the reader.
I believe this is a good method, both for teaching and learning.
The author hopes that in this way the reader will learn from the magnificent play of Sammy Reshevsky, and grow to admire it as much as I do. 424 pages
KASPAROV - My Great Predecessors part IV
D'après l'éditeur, voici le tome le plus attendu de la série... C'est bien probable - et c'est bien étrange, car c'est sans doute celui dont on a le moins à attendre. Que raconter de neuf sur le seul champion du monde américain? Nulle carrière n'a été davantage scrutée, peu de parties autant analysées - par Fischer lui-même dans Mes soixante meilleures parties pour celles du début, par le monde des échecs tout entier pour celles de la fin, et par tout auteur à court d'inspiration depuis. Mais un instant - je suis en train de commettre la même erreur que tous ceux qui ont suivi aveuglément une couverture et une publicité tapageuse et réductrice. Car ce tome quatrième n'est pas consacré seulement au sale gosse de Brooklyn. Pour étoffer l'ensemble, les auteurs ont en effet adjoint aux 250 pages consacrées à celui-ci une première partie de presque égale importance portant sur les autres grands champions occidentaux de la période post-Alekhine. Ce qui entraîne au demeurant un curieux téléscopage chronologique, puisqu'on retrouve en particulier Reuben Fine, dont la carrière se termina sensiblement avant que Fischer (et Larsen, lui aussi largement présent) ne commencent la leur. En dehors des deux précités, on retrouvera aussi deux occidentaux accidentels, si on me pardonne cette image plaisante : Miguel (né Moishe) Najdorf et Samuel Reshevsky, qui eurent la mauvaise idée de naître juifs dans la Pologne du début du siècle, et la bonne de la quitter à temps (et même juste à temps pour le futur argentin, qui fit partie de ceux - Eliskases, Pilnik, Pelikan... - qui purent remercier la FIDE d'avoir programmé une Olympiade à Buenos Aires en août-septembre 1939). Après cette première partie forcément intéressante - on ne dispose que de peu, voire de pas du tout de littérature sur tous ces joueurs - vient la portion Fischer. Après une introduction stupéfiante certainement signée Kasparov, qui nous renseigne beaucoup plus sur Kasparov lui-même que sur le sujet théorique, vient un long développement détaillant la trajectoire chaotique du champion américain. Comme toujours, on retrouve l'alternance d'une biographie solide mais sans surprise (et qui ne doit sans doute rien, elle, à l'homme de Bakou) et de parties aux commentaires eux aussi solides, et eux aussi dépourvus de grandes surprises (cf début du texte...).
