The Risk Assessment in Chess
IM Ranko Szuhanek · Hardcover · 232 pages
Chess as a living model of decision-making under uncertainty: every move opens new possibilities and risks counterplay. Szuhanek shows how to assess a position, foresee scenarios and decide under time pressure — skills that carry over to management and any work with incomplete information. 20 colour charts.
Beating the Najdorf — Rare Lines
IM Ranko Szuhanek · Hardcover · 262 pages
A complete guide through the Najdorf jungle for Black against White's rarer 6th moves — 6.h3 (now popular at every level), 6.a3 and 6.Qd3. Deep, practical analysis with many improvements for both sides and a clear lean toward Black.
Selected Endings
Paperback · 272 pages
705 hand-picked endgames from Chess Informant's decades-long archive, shown as they were first published, with the original analysis and context. The first volume of the collector's series for the Informant's 60th anniversary.
The Match of the Century
Hardcover · 260 pages
Belgrade 1970, USSR vs. the Rest of the World: 20 of the world's best players, five World Champions, four rounds and 40 hard-fought games. Relive the match through the words of its participants and the leading journalists of the day — a revised, extended 50th-anniversary edition by Douglas Griffin and Igor Žveglić.
Match Tournament 1948 — Keres
Paul Keres · Hardcover · 260 pages
All 50 games of the 1948 match-tournament that made Botvinnik the first Soviet World Champion, annotated by Paul Keres for the practical player. A new English translation of his 1949 classic — a favourite of Kasparov and Gelfand — with historical context from the Soviet press and Botvinnik's memoirs.
Let Me Ask You, Do You Know?
IM Nikola Karaklajić
A classic that still teaches and entertains: 40 essential endgame lessons, 12 lessons on endgame tricks and motifs, plenty of practical examples and carefully chosen exercises. Generations learned endings from it; this new edition is engine-checked and as enjoyable as ever.
Old Wine in New Bottles
GM Mihail Marin · Hardcover · 384 pages
Marin invites you to the games of the classics: the same brilliant ideas and the same mistakes keep returning in the same kinds of positions. Learn to think along classical lines — at the board you are alone with your opponent, without an engine.
