Grandmaster Glenn Flear studies a wide variety of ambitious and offbeat answers catering for many different playing styles. From the super-solid Berlin (as used so successfully by Vladimir Kramnik in his World Championship match victory against Garry Kasparov) to the uncompromising Schliemann, there is enough choice here for any prospective black player facing the Spanish. On the other hand, this book is also perfect for Spanish enthusiasts looking for the best way to deal with those avoiding the main lines.

Tactimania is a puzzle book with a difference. Grandmaster Glenn Flear makes sure the puzzles are unfmailiar to the reader by selecting them only from games played by himself or his wife Christine. The puzzles start at a moderate level then get steadily more difficult. The reader will be challenged by the puzzles and entertained by the manga-style illustrations that feature throughout.

The Ruy Lopez (also known as the Spanish Game) is an extremely popular opening and one of the oldest in the history of chess. It has been played by virtually all the greats of the game, providing the battle scene for many world championship clashes involving the likes of Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik. Now, for the first time in many years, Grandmaster Glenn Flear investigates the main line of the Lopez, outlining the crucial ideas and tactics for both White and Black. Using illustrative games, Flear studies the fashionable and theoretical variations, plus the tricky sidelines. This book is perfect for those wishing to play the positions with either colour.

• Written by a Ruy Lopez expert
• Up-to-date theory on the sharpest lines
• Ideal for club and tournament players

Damit Sie sich im Dschungel der Theorie nicht verirren und für Ihre Gegner weniger berechenbar werden, haben sich im vorliegenden Band drei Spezialisten zusammengetan, um Schwarz- und Weißspielern dabei zu helfen, im Königsinder mit wenig erforschten Ansätzen zum Erfolg zu kommen. Hierzu zählen Überraschungsmanöver wie 7 ... Sh5 in der Klassischen Variante und 6 ... e5 oder 8. h4 im Vierbauernangriff. Aber seien Sie gewarnt: Die Reihe Gefährliche Waffen ist nichts für die Zaghaften - Mut, Risikobereitschaft und gute Nerven sollte man schon mitbringen, will man das hier Erlernte in die Praxis umsetzen.
