Between 1984 and 1990 Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov contested an astonishing five World Championship matches consisting of 144 individual encounters. This volume concentrates on the first two of those matches.• The epic 1984/85 contest which lasted six months before being controversially halted “without result” by the then President of FIDE Florencio Campomanes.• The 1985 match when Kasparov brilliantly won the final game to take the title and become – at the age of 22 – the youngest ever world champion.In this volume Garry Kasparov (world champion between 1985 and 2000 and generally regarded as the greatest player ever) analyses in depth the clashes from 1984 and 1985, giving his opinions both on the political machinations surrounding the matches as well as the games themselves.

Joel Benjamin is one of the most prominent faces in the history of US chess. At thirteen years of age he broke Bobby Fischer’s record as the youngest ever national master, and this was followed by countless tournament successes. Perhaps most famously, in 1997 he hit the headlines when he became the chess consultant for IBM’s Deep Blue computer, which made history by beating World Champion Garry Kasparov in an epic encounter. In American Grandmaster, Benjamin takes the reader on a journey through chess adventures spanning more than thirty years. He traces his own career, from being a prodigy in the ‘Fischer boom’ era through to an experienced Grandmaster with many titles.

Practical Endgame Play –beyond the basics: the definitive guide to the endgames that really matter

Here... at long last... we have it. A new type of endgame book. A book which explains how to handle those positions that frequently occur in practical play but, curiously, are hardly ever the subject of theoretical works.

Most endgame books rely on recycling the established theory on basic positions or concentrate on fantastical studies. This one is different. Well known grandmaster and endgame expert Glenn Flear examines all endgames which feature precisely two pieces for each side.

Practical Endgame Play –mastering the basics: the essential guide to endgame fundamentals

Practical Endgame Play – Mastering the Basics is a comprehensive guide to all fundamental chess endings, and a godsend for those looking to improve their endgame play. Crucially, the emphasis is just as much on practical play as it is on theoretical understanding.

Dangerous Weapons is a series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. Many of the carefully chosen weapons are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded; they are guaranteed to throw even your most experienced opponent off balance. In these books, renowned chess theoreticians pick out three of the most important openings and examine them in a revolutionary way, concentrating on original or little-explored variations and selecting a wealth of options for both White and Black. A study of these books will leave the reader confident and fully-armed, and his or her opponents running for cover!
