Dmitry Plisetskiy's comment: - In the new edition of the 1st volume of the book by Garry Kasparov & quot; My great predecessors & quot; a number of historical facts were clarified and comments on all (!) 148 parties were thoroughly revised. Many previous estimates have changed in the games of Andersen, Morphy, Steinitz, Chigorin, Tarrash, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine ... For example, in such famous games as the 7th game of the match Lasker - Steinitz (1894) or Pilsbury - Lasker (Petersburg 1896) , and indeed in all key parties of the match Capablanca - Alekhine (Buenos Aires 1927). Garry Kasparov’s five volumes & laquo; My great predecessors & raquo; has no analogues in chess literature: the 13th world champion talks about the fate and work of the twelve previous champions and their rivals, about a century and a half struggle for world championship. Exploring the famous games under the microscope of powerful computer programs, the author changes many previous estimates and, in essence, summarizes the development of chess in the 20th century. The first volume is about & laquo; uncrowned kings & raquo; past and the first four official world champions & mdash; Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine. Here is the second edition, radically supplemented and revised. 48 pages of artwork on coated paper. & nbsp;

The textbook by an experienced coach of the international master Anastasia Geller will help beginner chess players quickly master the moves of the pieces and introduce them to their value.

The reader will learn to count options several moves ahead, anticipating the opponent's thoughts and possible actions. The book contains 1500 tasks, divided into 5 parts: "eating", "attack", "safe attack", "protection from attack" and "complex eating." Particular attention is paid to the development of acquired knowledge: a detailed explanation of the new material is accompanied by a large number of tasks for independent solution. Each of the 53 chapters begins with positions with a small number of pieces, which is extremely important for those who are just learning the basics of chess. Gradually, the number of figures in the tasks increases. For beginner chess players, their parents and coaches.
