Reseña del editor:

Chess is the sport of intellectual boxing. Once this basic truth is realized the game makes perfect sense. The board is the ring. The fighters are introduced as White or Black. The White fighter throws the first punch sounding the ring of the bell and the Black fighter must defend his position. The ensuing punches reflect the hand movement of each fighter as they spar for position to gain an advantage. The goal of both is to knock out the opponent. Each fighter must throw a mandatory number of punches within a specific amount of time or suffer an automatic defeat. These are the basic rules of the ring.

Biografía del autor:

I am a Chess Theoretician who has worked for the past 12 years on developing intellectual boxing. From this came boxing fight strategy which defines the strategic principles of chess. I combined the positional theories of Nimzovich and created Intellectual boxing the sport of chess. I am now planning a five volume set of books entitled Intellectual Boxing, Vol. 1- Fighting Styles of the World Champions. The first volume will contain Bobby Fischer, Gary Kasparov, and Mikhail Tal, three great attackers. Each volume will contain two fights of each as both colors in freeze frame action. This will show the styles and technique of each champion. In the process we should see some very beautiful boxing and learn some tricks of the trade. I am a student of Zen Buddhism. I meditate and try to create a harmonious life. I believe in perusing the higher values of the mind. The ideal values of peace, justice, and equality. From this blossoms the high-energy state of love. It is this energy that drives creative output. This art is very distinctive, romantic, and calm. Intellectual boxing is my creative work. It turns chess into prizefighting. This defines the strategic principles of chess. This is twelve years of Zen meditation manifested in a book. This book was written with pure joy and pleasure. When you give the energy of love fine art appears! Every aspect of this book was done with care and attention. It is my best effort for better or worse. I believe in giving back to the world. 10 per cent of the proceeds from this book will go to the American Leprosy Missions. This is a disease that can be eliminated. The cost of treatment is expensive but nobody should be allowed to suffer from this disease. So this is my starfish. I will do my part to help eliminate this disease. I am married to an Asian Love Goddess. She is my true and only one companion. She taught me how to love and I am deeply grateful. xoxo Honey. I have two bea
