The Power of Middlegame Knowledge • Compensation is a chess concept that we only fully understand when we enter the world of serious chess. • The relative value of pieces is perhaps the most difficult chess concept of all to explain. • It is one that every player must feel and believe in and can only be accepted with the help of our own practice, and when we feel it come together as though a part of us. |

1735–1894 Most chess biographies present the games of famous players but not their writings. Filling that gap, this book begins with Syrian master and author of chess studies Philip Stamma, and finishes with the first world champion William Steinitz. The main novelties in opening, middlegame and endgame theory in the 160 year period are examined and biographical sketches put the contributions of more than 30 masters into context. |

Life and Games of a World Champion The games of Mikhail Botvinnik, world chess champion from 1948 to 1963, have been studied by players around the world for decades. But little has been written about Botvinnik himself. This book explores his unusual dual career--as a highly regarded scientist as well as the first truly professional chess player--as well as his complex relations with Soviet leaders, including Josef Stalin, his bitter rivalries, and his doomed effort to create the perfect chess-playing computer program. |

Every game has been examined under Stockfish 14, probably the best analytical engine available for home computers at this time.

Als Sänger, der es beinahe in die Bolschoi-Oper geschafft hätte, weiß er, wovon er spricht, wenn er sagt: "Der Schachkünstler muss breit und kreativ nach neuen Wegen suchen“. Smyslow lebt in Moskau. |

Michail Botwinnik Michail Botwinnik (1948 bis 1957, 1958 bis 1960, 1961 bis 1963) – 1911 in St. Petersburg geboren, war Michail Botwinnik seit seiner Jugend ein überzeugter Kommunist, der es später verstand, sich bestens mit dem Stalin-Regime zu arrangieren. Als Professor der Elektrotechnik beschäftigte er sich auch mit Computerschach, doch berühmt wurde der Patriarch, wie ihn alle nannten, als Begründer der legendären Sowjetischen Schachschule, in die er raffiniertes Eröffnungswissen, exzellente Endspieltechnik und die Kunst der psychologischen Vorbereitung einbrachte. Botwinnnik starb 1995 in Moskau.
