An illustrated History -1924 2024

Collector's volume, developed by FIDE for the 100th anniversary - printed in only 1000 copies For one hundred years, FIDE has stood at the heart of the global chess scene – standardizing regulations and titles, organizing tournaments and matches, and promoting and protecting the game's integrity.

Chess Classics

In Chess Survivor – The Last of the Greats a chess legend shares his life story and annotates his best games. When FIDE introduced the grandmaster title in 1950, Andor Lilienthal was one of the 27 names on that original list. And when he died at age 99, he was the last survivor of that historic group. This inspired our title. Douglas Griffin translated Lilienthal’s book from Russian and added 17 games to the 60 that Lilienthal annotated.

Ein komplettes Eröffnungsrepertoire

Dieses Buch enthält ein Eröffnungsrepertoire mit 60 Varianten, in denen sich für den Repertoirespieler Möglichkeiten zu einem raschen Gewinn ergeben, mindestens aber zu spürbarem Vorteil. Der Fokus des Repertoires liegt auf den von den Gegnern am häufigsten gespielten Varianten und dort auf Zügen, die zwar häufig gespielt werden, die aber trotzdem mehr oder weniger große Fehler sind. Die weitaus meisten dieser Varianten sind nicht in den gängigen Fallensammlungen enthalten. Schon das macht den Text zu einem Gewinn für den Leser.
