Viktor Vasiliev, “Tigran Petrosian: His life and games”
R.H.M. Chess Pub | 1974 | ISBN: 071342818X | 247 pages | DJVU | 8,6 MB

Review
Life and Methods of a Chess master
"Petrosian is often called too cautious.
Yet he defeated Botvinnik, Spassky, Korchnoi, Portisch, Polugaevsky and others, in set matches.

His Soviet colleagues, intent on pyshing 'dynamism,' castigated him for his maneuvering style.
Yet he was Soviet Champion three times.

The public derides him for drawing too many games.
Yet he was Champion of the World for six years.

Tigran Petrosian's place in history - a World Champion with a distinctive personal style - is secure. But still he is misunderstood by many of his contemporaries. As Larry Evans writes: 'Tigran Petrosian is one of the most original and mystifying players in the history of chess.'

Steinitz in his time was called crazy, Lasker was lucky (his rivals said), Nimzovich and Reti horrified their colleagues. None of them was understood by his contemporaries, but today we recognize that each made vital contributions to the art of chess and to its fundamental theory.

Now RHM has the pleasure of presenting the first book that understand Petrosian. Through biographical accounts, all based on extensive personal interviews, Petrosian's style is traced to its origins (Nimzovich); through deep game analysis, all based on Petrosian's own notes or those of his trainer Suetin, his philosophy of chess is linked to his character.

This book also explains why and how Petrosian's methods work in practice. the reader should be willing to suspend his prejudices and realize that there is a great deal he can learn from Petrosian, since his methods are so successful. Such a reader should not be surprised to find his own results improving markedly.

Even if you only like chess gossip - and don't we all -- allow yourself to be guiled by one of the sharpest minds in chess. His comments on the life and times of a professional chess master in the Soviet Union, his attitudes toward his contemporaries, his observations on life in general - all are sure to become part of the literary heritage of chess."

Dr. Max Euwe - Judgment and Planning in Chess
David McKay Co (1980-01) | ISBN: 0679143254 | 198 Pages | 1.75 MB | DJVU

Judgment And Planning In Chess focuses on that crucial point in the chess game -- eight or so moves into the game -- where the opening development breaks off and the middle game begins. This is precisely the part of the game that falls between opening books and middle-game books.

Dr. Euwe studies a number of orthodox openings and positions from the point where the opening stage has come to an end. He describes the characteristics of the position reached, shows why one or the other side stands better, and gives a practical demonstration of the means by which the game can be brought to its logical conclusion.

"Written with all the expository power for which the ex-champion is famous" (Times Literary Supplement), this well-known book is regarded as one of the standard manuals for developing players.

Alexander Khalifman, "Opening for Black According to Karpov (Repertoire Books)"
Chess Direct Ltd | 2002-01 | ISBN: 9548782162 | 192 pages | PDF | 5,3 MB

"Learning how to play in the Opening is one of the most important, yet difficult tasks that every chess player is facing. If you are a beginner, there are better books on the market for you, including the "Starting out..." series. But those who are ready to go beyond the general opening principles and a couple of opening moves will find this book very helpful. It addresses the following positive issues:

1. Complete selection for Black covering ALL White first moves,
2. Very qualified author - FIDE ex-champion A. Khalifman
3. Extremely good source - games of Anatoly Karpov
4. Repertoire approach - when the games are sorted into a variation trees and somewhere earlier enough the moves finish and the author explains common strategies and offers suggestions.

Despite short lives of many opening books due to extensive development of the modern chess opening theory , this book will serve middle range players (1400-2200) for many years, because it is plan-oriented. " - reader's review.

Enjoy this great book! Brought to you by SMIRK

Mark Buckley, “Practical Chess Analysis: A Systematic Method for Analyzing”
Thinkers' Press | 1999-03 | ISBN: 0938650882 | 192 pages | DJVU | 1,15 MB

How many moves can YOU see ahead? This has always been a problem for the majority of players. Complicated evaluations are not possible if the simple ones can't be handled. It's not really a question of the quantity of analysis, but the QUALITY of analysis.

It's necessary to understand what must be eliminated, when principles are a must, and to have goals or plans. In all of this, calculation is unavoidable. But calculation must withstand the constraints of time and reasonableness.

Typically, too many players use intuition more and calculation less, because it becomes nearly impossible to keep track of all the branches on the analysis-tree. How does one look deeper and deeper to fathom the intricacies of a position? Buy this book and find out!

John Watson, “Mastering the Chess Openings: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Modern Chess Openings, Volume 2”
Gambit Publications | 2007-05-30 | ISBN: 1904600697 | 318 pages | DJVU | 4,05 MB

For most chess-players, opening study is sheer hard work. It is hard to know what is important and what is not, and when specific knowledge is vital, or when a more general understanding is sufficient. Tragically often, once the opening is over, a player won't know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces are on the squares on which they sit. John Watson seeks to help chess-players achieve a more holistic and insightful view of the openings. In his previous books on chess strategy, he explained vital concepts that had previously been the domain only of top-class players. Here he does likewise for the openings, explaining how flexible thinking and notions such as 'rule-independence' can apply to the opening too. Watson presents a wide-ranging view of the way in which top-class players really handle the opening, rather than an idealized and simplified model.

This volume, focusing on queen's pawn openings, is a book that will make chess-players think hard about how they begin their games. It also offers both entertainment and challenging study material in openings such as the Nimzo-Indian, King's Indian and the entire Queen's Gambit complex.

Gambit Publications | 2006-10-01 | ISBN: 1904600603 | 337 pages | DJVU | 4,4 MB

A major new title from Gambit Publications Ltd. For most chess-players, opening study is sheer hard work. It is hard to know what is important and what is not, and when specific knowledge is vital, or when a more general understanding is sufficient. Tragically often, once the opening is over, a player won’t know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces are on the squares on which they sit. With this book John Watson seeks to help chess-players achieve a more holistic and insightful view of the openings. In his previous books on chess strategy, he explained vital concepts that had previously been the domain only of top-class players, and did so in ways that have enabled them to enter the general chess consciousness of club players. Here he does likewise for the openings, explaining how flexible thinking and notions such as ‘rule-independence’ can apply to the opening. Watson presents a wide-ranging view of the way in which top-class players really handle the opening, rather than an idealized and simplified model. This is a book that will make chess-players think hard about how they begin their games, while offering both entertainment and challenging material for study.

Martin Weteschnik, “Understanding Chess Tactics”
Quality Chess | 2006-07-30 | ISBN: 9197524425 | 235 pages | DJVU | 4,5 MB

‘Chess is 99% tactics’ is an old saying. This may be an exaggeration, but even the remaining 1% still depends on tactics. When Martin Weteschnik started working as a trainer in his local chess club, he quickly realized that even the stronger club players had great weaknesses in their tactical play. He also discovered that simply asking them to solve a huge number of puzzles did not fix the problem. These players clearly needed a good book, but when Weteschnik looked for it he found nothing suitable, so he decided to write it himself. But Weteschnik was not completely satisfied with the book and decided to restructure and rewrite it completely.

Rapid Chess Improvement (Everyman Chess)
Everyman Chess | 2002-06-01 | ISBN: 1857442695 | 128 pages | PDF | 17,1 Mb

This is the ideal book for serious adult players who want to improve. It describes a study plan that came about thanks to a re-evaluation of standard chess teaching and includes several unique components aimed at improving deficiencies in the play of adult players. This book is the only one of its kind for the simple reason that it has been written by an author who hugely improved his own rating over a twelve month period by following his own advice. He therefore fully understands the challenges faced by enthusiastic players who are relatively new to the game. This is in sharp contrast to most books aimed at this level which are usually written by very strong players who have long forgotten what it feels like to be starting out in the game.

A Spanish Repertoire for Black
Publisher: Quality Chess | 2007-04-15 | ISBN: 9197600504 | PDF | 33,77 MB

Here is a world-class chess repertoire for Black against 1.e4. As the title suggests, the repertoire is based on the respected Spanish Opening, or the Ruy Lopez, as it is sometimes called. In his previous book, Beating the Open Games, Grandmaster Mihail Marin dealt with White’s options up to 3.Bb5. Now Marin provides all the answers for Black after 4.Ba4. This depth of chess expertise has rarely been published for a mass audience before, as grandmasters usually prefer to keep their secrets. The complexity of the material could have been daunting, but Marin is also a master of explaining profound ideas to a wide audience.
