In this book, John Nunn, a top-class grandmaster who is also one of the
worlds finest solvers, explains the methods by which chess problems and studies
are solved. The logical and creative methods advocated, while targeted at the
solving of composed positions, may also help players find startling tactical
solutions in their games. Solving in Style also constitutes an entertaining and
insightful introduction to the world of problems and studies. There are chapters
on series problems and other unorthodox stipulations, and also a discussion of
specific themes such as the Novotny interference.
This classic text is one of few on this important subject, and is now
available again, having been difficult to obtain for a decade. Chess positions
for solving are as old as the game itself, and provide stimulating and
beneficial exercise for chess-players. However, while there is an abundance of
books on chess puzzles, and much specialist literature on studies and problems,
there is an astonishing dearth of guidance for solvers.
Dr John Nunn is one of the best-respected figures in world chess. He was
among the world's leading grandmasters for nearly twenty years, winning four
gold medals in chess Olympiads and finishing sixth overall in the World Cup in
1989. He is a much-acclaimed writer, whose works have won 'Book of the Year'
awards in several countries. In 2004, 2007 and 2010 Nunn was crowned World Chess
Solving Champion, ahead of many former champions.
"None of John Nunn's books has ever disappointed me. If you want to study
chess compositions, I really recommend this book. " - Helmut Conrady,
ROCHADE
"It discusses and explains all sorts of problems and is an excellent
introduction to problem and study solving. Highly recommended" - Paul Dunn,
AUSTRALIAN CHESS FORUM
"This is an excellent introduction for those players who have yet to discover
problems" - Nigel Donovan, WEEKEND CHESS
"Verdict: a welcome reprint of a classic book; this is the best introduction
I know to an appreciation of the art of the chess problem and composed study." -
Phil Adams
"...Nunn explains logically, step by step, the mental processes by which the
solutions are reached... It is a guide book rather than a stuffy text book. Not
many chess books stand the test of time, but this is one exception" -Alan
Sutton, EN PASSANT
"A reissue of this classic bestseller from John Nunn ... for chess problem
aficionados and endgame study enthusiasts. Nunn pays a lot of attention to the
theme of Interference - you'll be amazed how many possibilities can be
eliminated by offering a piece on a certain square..." - Bab Wilders, Nederlands
Dagblad
"Nunn does an excellent job of explaining the special rules of this parallel
universe, but where he is likely to gain the most converts is in the field of
chess studies...Many of these studies look sufficiently 'game-like' that the
over-the-board player will have no trouble appreciating the beauty and ingenuity
involved. Highly recommended" - John Donaldson
