Spanish Repertoire for Black by Mihail Marin - $47.95
Welcome to 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.

My System by Aron Nimzowitsch - $44.95 Aron Nimzowitsch was one of the greatest chess players of the 1920s and 1930s, ranked just behind the famous World Champions Alekhine and Capablanca. His reputation as an author is higher still. My System is at the top of a very short list of chess classics. Nimzowitsch’s ideas have had a profound influence on modern chess thinking. Most chess masters will at some point have studied Nimzowitsch’s work, and not to have read My System is by many regarded as a shocking gap in a chess player’s education. The problem for an English-speaking audience has been that My System was written in German more than eighty years ago. The commonly-used contemporary translations have sounded dated for some time, and were always questionable: the translators frequently toned down many passages, fearing Nimzowitsch’s biting wit would be too controversial. This edition uses a brand-new translation that recreates the author’s original intentions.
For the first time an English-speaking audience can appreciate the true nature of a famous chess book.
San Luis 2005 by Alik Gershon & Igor Nor - $59.95 San Luis 2005 is the most celebrated chess tournament of the decade.
Bulgarian Grandmaster Veselin Topalov triumphed and proved that he is a worthy successor to
World Champions such as Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov.
In this ambitious work Gershon and Nor analyse all the games from the tournament,
but there is no danger of the reader drowning in masses of variations,
as the authors clearly explain the ideas behind the moves.
Tournament books used to be a familiar part of chess literature with Zurich 1953 a classic example,
however such books are now rare because of the huge effort they demand from the authors.
Gershon and Nor have risen to the challenge and produced a book that is destined to become a modern classic,
a magnificent book worthy of an extraordinary tournament.
Many colour photographs of the event and the surrounding Argentinean scenery help the reader feel what it was like to be at San Luis 2005.
