Sicilian Kan: Play the The Kan is an ideal choice as an opening weapon against 1 e4, as it is one of the easiest variations of the Sicilian to learn and play. This is because, unlike some variations of the Sicilian, you don't need to memorize loads of opening theory in order to be successful. The Kan is relatively theory free in the traditional sense, and success is more likely to occur through the understanding of development systems and a deep study of the tactical and positional ideas for both sides. In this book Johan Hellsten draws upon his vast experience in the Sicilian Kan, revealing his secrets and showing how Black can adopt this opening and play it with confidence. He provides the reader with a dependable repertoire, demonstrating what to do in the main lines as well as how to deal with White's tricky alternatives. Detailed coverage of an easy-to-play Sicilian. Includes answers to all of White's main options. Packed with original ideas and analysis. Written by a renowned Kan expert. Item ID OSIA101 Our price $ 32.95

Queen's Gambit Play (2009) By Grandmaster Lars Schandorff The power of the Queen’s Gambit is beyond question, even though it allows some serious defences – the Slav and Semi-Slav are favoured by the elite, Kasparov was playing the Queen’s Gambit Accepted until he retired, and the Queen’s Gambit Declined has been trusted for a century. The Queen's Gambit, 1.d4 d5 2.c4, is one of the most popular chess openings. Black has many possible replies leading to a huge range of positions, so White requires expert guidance. Grandmaster Lars Schandorff is the ideal guide to reveal the intricacies of these critical chess openings. Schandorff is a successful tournament player who uses the lines he is recommending in international competition. Schandorff recommends and explains a complete repertoire for White after 1.d4 d5 2.c4. The lines covered include the Queen's Gambit Declined and Accepted, the Slav and Semi-Slav, the Chigorin, Albin, and all minor lines. Item ID OQGA31 Our price $ 37.95

Bobby Fischer, the greatest genius the game had ever seen, completed his crusade against the ‘commie cheaters’ by defeating Boris Spassky in Reykjavik. The Match of the Century electrified the world.

The acclaimed classic Fischer World Champion! conveyes the full drama of the clash, both on and off the board. Here is the inside story of the bloody prelude, written by the late Max Euwe, at the time President of FIDE. Euwe’s diplomatic skills and iron will saved the match against incredible odds.
