I started this book with the idea that I wanted it to be useful for all levels of playing strength, from amateurs to even top grandmasters. I am sure that readers will notice the difference from many other openings books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides, I think now is the time to reveal something about my opening preparation. In the last ten years or more I have not read a single book on the openings. I did this on purpose, my idea being that I wanted to have my own opinion about the lines I was playing. Of course I have still worked with Veselin and some other strong players, but it is kind of ironic, because now I am writing such a book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first volume of \u003cem\u003eCheparinov’s 1.d4!\u003c\/em\u003e readers will find my own way of working on openings, and the way I analyze. Many of the lines and conclusions in this book are based not only on computer evaluation, but also on the practical point of view. Of course all the lines have been deeply analyzed by strong engines, and although I am sure they are not perfect, the most important thing is that all evaluations are based on my own understanding and knowledge of chess. I believe this book should be used as a starting point, from which to build progress in opening preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the book I reveal many new ideas and concepts. The first volume of the series focuses on 3.f3 against the Grünfeld and King’s Indian, two of the most popular openings against 1.d4. I tried to discuss all possible lines for Black after 3.f3, but of course focused on the most principled ones. Most of the lines are very double-edged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have revealed some very interesting options for Black as well. This is one of the things that I do in my opening preparation – I look at the openings for both sides. I believe this is very important, because it gives you a realistic view of things. For White I tried to give the lines that I believe are not only the best, but also give Black problems to solve during the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChessBase India Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42228723712023,"sku":"B830","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7334\/1975\/files\/2352991948.jpg?v=1744203180"},{"product_id":"chess-coach-the-profound-and-lasting-influence-of-mark-dvoretsky-by-vladimir-barsky","title":"Chess Coach The Profound and Lasting Influence of Mark Dvoretsky By Vladimir Barsky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChess Coach The Profound and Lasting Influence of Mark Dvoretsky By Vladimir Barsky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-blue-500 hover:text-blue-600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newinchess.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/product_pdf\/9213.pdf\"\u003eSample Pages\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable book is a tribute to a man who is probably the greatest chess coach of all time.

You can read out the poem story to them, you can show them the colours and illustrations. If the kid is two or three years old, they can already start to know the names of the different pieces and how they move. And if a kid is above the age of 5, they can already attempt to read what is written along with learning the rules of chess. We can assure you that even if a child is 8-10 years old and doesn't know chess, they will enjoy the book!

My 5 year old loved it and we are looking forward to more such future books. I have taught chess to my kid at an early age, and I feel this is the right age to get started. But you have to be really creative with kids of this age, when introducing a complex game like chess. And I felt there was a dearth of comic books or content for 3-5 year olds. I can see a natural progression of this, extending to introducing tactical concepts like Pins, skewers, Forks etc. in a fun comical way. Also some good habits like staying focused, team work, decision making etc. which are some fundamental life skills that Chess teaches. Not all parents understand and appreciate these benefits of Chess as there is unawareness. But with the right content and message more parents will buy-in. This could potentially be an entire series with fun characters and stories, while planting chess concepts in a subtle way. Apart from this, quality was great and priced rightly. Great concept of stickers!! This targets absolute beginners. I believe there should be a good opportunity to have stuff for kids who are nearing intermediate level, but are still kids and can absorb chess with fun. Really appreciate all the stuff you guys are doing for Chess in India. More force to you all :) Thanks.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eAbhishek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Thank you for reaching out.

From such a young age kids these days are subjected to repulsive yet addictive content like reels . That's why I was avoiding to introduce her to chess in form of videos or via mobile apps or internet. Your book came like a blessing to me . With its cute animation, stickers and rhymes it's a cute little collectables item. She has read it multiple times and obviously at such a young age just reading it wont make her pick up chess and that was never the point. It was just for her to fall in love with chess which I believe she is on her way to. Soon she will be able to make a choice for herself if she'd like to follow the path of chess. And i hope she does! I'd recommend it to everyone not necessarily just for chess but also for the habit of reading, and to introduce your kids to books in general so that they start to love books like they love other toys. In the age where all kids sooner or later will be subjected to the cringe content on the internet which is very addictive, your book and other books like it are a much better way for your kids to engage in entertainment activities.

Although he was the underdog, he beat the mighty Alexander Alekhine in an epic World Championship Match in 1935.

IM Esben Lund has broken new ground with a thought-provoking book on an under-represented topic in chess literature – the evaluation of positions featuring “Double-edged bishops”. This book will be helpful for players rated between 1800- 2400 – stronger players could also benefit from being able to review many of these ideas and concepts in a single volume.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIM James Rizzitano\u003c\/strong\u003e, ChessCafe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dealing with a single theme - the value of bishops in various stages of the game - Lund leads his readers through a wonderland of philosophical ideas, creative side-steps and concrete examples which demonstrate just how tricky it is to accurately evaluate bishops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the more thought-provoking books I have read in the last 10 years or so, and after finishing it and putting it away, I couldn't help continuing to think about the subject of bad (or actually not-so-bad) bishops for a long time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArne Moll\u003c\/strong\u003e, Chess.com (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.chess.com\/article\/view\/review-the-secret-life-of-bad-bishops\"\u003efull review\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It is a very interesting and highly instructive volume which definitely deserves a look, especially as it is a genuine attempt to produce a completely original work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSean Marsh\u003c\/strong\u003e, CHESS magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A very refreshing book lies before me.

He explains how in your opening preparation, instead of sifting through masses of computer analysis you should play training games against your engine. He also shows how to train your early middlegame play, the conversion of advantages, your positional play, and your defensive skills. And, of course: how to analyse your own games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese generic training methods Sadler supplements with concrete techniques. He explains how the top engines tackle crucial middlegame themes such as entrenched pieces, whole board play, ‘attacking rhythm’, exchanging pieces, the march of the Rook’s pawn, queen versus pieces, and many others. He also opens your eyes to typical strategies that the engines found and fine-tuned in popular openings such as the King’s Indian, the Grünfeld, the Slav, the French and the Sicilian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadler illustrates his lessons with a collection of fantastic games, explained with his trademark enthusiasm.
