Russian Chess

In "Principles of New Chess", Bruce Pandolfini showed you how to master basic concepts in chess strategy. Now, in "Russian Chess", Pandolfini applies a complete course in intermediate chess logic, based on six games actually played by the "Kasparov generation" of Soviet chess players-perhaps the best-trained crop of young players ever to come out of the country that has held the world title for 55 of the 60 years. With the clarity of instruction for which he has become renowned, Panoldfini illustrates such intermediate concepts as Light Squares, Time, Attack, Pawn Advances, and Counterattack in six chapters structured around each of the six specially selected games, previewing "what to look for", offering an instructive question and answer for every single play, and including, on almost every page, incisive advice from an exhaustive collection of the great Russian players of all time. With a Grandmaster Glossary, 101 black and white diagrams, an index, and algebraic notation throughout, this uniquely crafted volume puts the most current concepts and personalities in world-class chess at the intermediate players fingertips.
