The Middle Game in Chess

The Middle Game in Chess
Publisher:Dover Publications | Pages: 224 | File type: PDF | 4.6 mb

Znosko was the Silman of our time and one of the strongest GMs of the early part of the 20th Century. In his day he was considered one of the best chess teachers and it's amazing his books have held up for over 50 years. This book is still standard reading by the Soviet school of chess and actually covers almost all of the key concepts covered by Silman in his Reassess your chess book. In fact it is recommended by the Dvoretsky school (Specifically mentioned in the Positional play book) why? Because the principles taught are still relevant, space, time, material balance, open lines and Tempo (Nowadays called development). The game examples are from the greats, Capa, Alekhine, Tarasch etc. Also some of the ideas have been forgotten and are now being revived. I think a newly minted International Master said it best The reason I made the jump from Fide master to IM was mainly due to study of tactical variations and working through Znoskos's Middlegame book Finally its written in Znosko's famous easy reading style.

This book avoids both of these shortcomings. It gives a reasonably large number of variations - anything worthwhile/likely to be played by white, AND detailed explanations regarding the strategies behind the moves. The variations are all supported by games of leading players. The book is well written and easy to read.

Importantly, it clearly points out some of the pitfalls to be aware of in playing this opening.

It also provides brief but insightful annotations to a large number of complete games, adding value beyond simply opening theory.

Thoroughly recommended.

Damon Hill. On top of the world
Patrick Stephens Limited | Alan Henry | File type: PDF | 2.5 mb | 142 Pages | New Edition

Damon Hill won the 1996 Formula 1 World Championship with a brilliant victory in Japan, the final round of the 16-race season, to cap a dramatic career and emulate his father Graham, who won the title in 1962 and 1968. It wasn't an easy victory. Hill, a thoroughly decent man, made it to the very top of the world's most spectacular sport through his own hard slog, commitment, and utter refusal to be deterred by the many setbacks he found in his path.
This all-new book covers his full story, from boyhood as the son of a famous father, through competing in the junior formulae, to joining Williams as a test driver in 1991 then, in just his second full Grand Prix season, having to don the mantle of team leader after Ayrton Senna's death. It covers his epic battles with Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve, his dismissal by Williams and surprise decision to join TWR Arrows for 1997, culminating in a moving description of his crowning glory at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Written by a top motorsport expert and supported by first-hand interviews with the key people involved, this is a tale about indomitable human spirit. It shows that anything is possible for those determined to realise a personal dream...
