Steve Giddins is an author acclaimed for his ability to write in
down-to-earth style on fundamental chess topics. In this book he answers the
questions that really matter to chess-players. His topics include many basic
ideas, including some that have rarely been addressed so directly in chess
literature, and thus are often misunderstood by club players. Where appropriate,
the answers also address highly sophisticated concepts, providing insights
gleaned from many years of experience and discussions with players and trainers
of the highest level.
Subjects include:
- Playing Chess in General
- The Opening
- Tactics and Combinations
- Planning and Strategy
- Positional Play
- The Endgame
- Competitive Play
- Training and Computers
Throughout, the ideas are backed up with examples from practical play and
thought-provoking quotes from the great chess legends, thinkers and writers.
Steve Giddins is a FIDE Master from England who has frequently
contributed to the British Chess Magazine and the ChessBase website. He
has gained a reputation as a writer who provides useful, no-nonsense advice on
topics of genuine practical importance, drawing especially upon his familiarity
with Russian chess literature and training methods. This is his sixth book for
Gambit.
