Paperback or Softback. Zustand: New. The Ink War: Romanticism Versus Modernity in Chess. Book.
Zustand: New.
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The rivalry between William Steinitz and Johannes Zukertort, the world's strongest chess players in the late nineteenth century, became so fierce that it was named The Ink War. They fought their battle on the chessboard and in various chess magazines and columns. It was not only about who was the strongest player but also about who had the best ideas on how to play the game. After his bestseller Move First, Think Later and his much-acclaimed second book, On the Origin of Good Moves, IM Willy Hendriks once again offers his unique perspective in a well-researched story that continues to captivate until the tragic outcome. The Ink War gives a beautiful impression of the 19th-century chess world and the birth of modern chess.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Siegbert Tarrasch and Aron Nimzowitsch could be called the two vainest chess players in history. This book tells the fascinating story of their lifelong rivalry. They clashed as personalities, as players and as chess writers, both searching for the truth in chess, but with very different perspectives.Tarrasch is seen as the dogmatic theorist and, according to Nimzowitsch, didn't offer much more than the well-meaning advice of a housewife. Nimzowitsch is the philosopher, the designer of a complete system that explains everything there is to know about chess to future generations of students.Does chess history treat these giants fairly or are they mere caricatures? And what was the role of the third protagonist in this debate, Semyon Alapin, whom Nimzowitsch condescendingly called an artist of variations? These questions, and these different viewpoints, are at the heart of this in-depth investigation.Hendriks offers a wonderful and often highly entertaining look at this great controversy. The many chess fragments nicely illustrate how our expertise has evolved in this turbulent period of chess history. Pawn sacrifices can offer huge rewards for a small investment, but many players still shy away from them. In this illuminating book, GM Ivan Cheparinov covers dynamic and long-term pawn sacrifices, as well as pawn sacrifices arising in specific opening variations, connecting the different phases of the game.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Siegbert Tarrasch (1862-1934) and Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935) could be called the two vainest chess players in history. This book tells the fascinating story of their lifelong rivalry.They clashed as personalities, as players and as writers, both searching for the truth in chess, but with very different perspectives. Tarrasch is often depicted as a dogmatic theorist and, according to Nimzowitsch, didn't offer much more than the well-meaning advice of a housewife. Nimzowitsch saw himself as a philosopher, the designer of a complete 'system' that uncovered the secrets of positional play. Has chess history treated these outstanding players fairly or are these mere caricatures? And what was the role of the third protagonist in this debate, Semyon Alapin, who Nimzowitsch condescendingly dubbed 'an artist of variations'? These questions and these different viewpoints are at the heart of Hendriks' in-depth investigation. Besides our protagonists, many others joined the fray, such as the World Champions of the period (Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine) and the advocates of hypermodern chess (notably Reti and Tartakower). All had their own views on how to become better chess players and their debate has lost none of its topicality. Since his ground-breaking first book on chess instruction, Move First, Think Later, Hendriks has concentrated on chess history with his next works On the Origin of Good Moves and The Ink War. His writings always give rise to lively discussions in the chess community. This book continues in that tradition. The Philosopher and the Housewife gives great insight into this turbulent period in chess history and simultaneously offers a refreshing perspective on the evolution of chess expertise. The many chess fragments nicely illustrate this compelling story. Pawn sacrifices can offer huge rewards for a small investment, but many players still shy away from them. In this illuminating book, GM Ivan Cheparinov covers dynamic and long-term pawn sacrifices, as well as pawn sacrifices arising in specific opening variations, connecting the different phases of the game.
