Book synopsis

Since every world champion was the most outstanding player of his time, it makes sense to study the various aspects of the royal game using the world champions' games - and of course to enjoy them.In this first of two volumes on the world champions' art of combination, the authors (both recognized experts in the field of chess literature) offer the reader the opportunity of trying to find plenty of these best combinations themselves - and thus to assess and improve their own tactical skills.But that's not all. In addition to often breathtakingly spectacular sample games, which are thoroughly analyzed and commented on in a comprehensible way, individual pet topics are highlighted in which the world champions have created particularly outstanding works.So you are invited to take a closer look at how Steinitz handled the 'Steinitz King' - at Lasker's phenomenal art of defense and Capablanca's mastery of 'small combinations' (for which the French term 'petite combinaison' has become common in chess language).Furthermore, at Alekhine's dashing attacks, at Euwe's seventh sense for dynamic transformations, Botvinnik's tactical solutions to strategic problems, Smyslov's virtuosity even in tactical endgames and - last but not least - at Tal's downright magical tactical works of art with which he not only bewitched his opponents, but the entire chess world.Thanks to the QR-codes above the diagrams, you can download the position directly to your smartphone and watch or analyze the game, so that the laborious and error-prone input by hand is no longer necessary.Volume 1 contains 260 combinations and many fully annotated sample games.
