Crouch, Fighting Chess - move by move
learn from the world's best players
296 S., kart., Everyman Chess 2013
What separates the best chess players from the rest? What gives them the edge over their rivals? Chess legend Vladimir Kramnik believes it’s their fighting skills and the ability to continuously find ways to keep a game alive. Colin Crouch agrees, and is fascinated that the world’s strongest players seem almost unbeatable, even when play appears sharp and double-edged. In this book Crouch examines the tremendous fighting qualities of today’s top players. Analysing key games from 2012, Crouch demonstrates how they give nothing away to their opponents but are always alert to punish any slight errors, and how we can apply these lessons from top-level chess to help us in our own games.
Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.
