Chess, the ancient strategy game, meets the latest, cutting-edge philosophy in this unique book. When 12 philosophers weigh in on one of the world's oldest and most beloved pastimes, the results are often surprising. Philosophical concepts as varied as phenomenology and determinism share the page with a treatise on hip-hop chess tactics and the question of whether Garry Kasparov is, in fact, a cyborg. Putting forth a remarkable array of different views on chess from philosophers with varied chess-proficiency, Philosophy Looks at Chess is an engaging read for chess adherents and the philosophically inclined alike.

At the U.S. Championship in 1989, Stuart Rachels seemed bound for the cellar. Ranked last and holding no IM norms, the 20-year-old amateur from Alabama was expected to get waxed by the American top GMs of the day that included Seirawan, Gulko, Dzindzichashvili, deFirmian, Benjamin and Browne. Instead, Rachels pulled off a gigantic upset and became the youngest U.S. Champion since Bobby Fischer. Three years later he retired from competitive chess, but he never stopped following the game. In this wide-ranging, elegantly written, and highly personal memoir, Stuart Rachels passes on his knowledge of chess. Included are his duels against legends such as Kasparov, Anand, Spassky, Ivanchuk, Gelfand and Miles, but the heart of the book is the explanation of chess ideas interwoven with his captivating stories. There are chapters on tactics, endings, blunders, middlegames, cheating incidents, and even on how to combat that rotten opening, the Réti. Rachels offers a complete and entertaining course in chess strategy. At the back are listed 110 principles of play—bits of wisdom that arise naturally in the book’s 24 chapters. Every chess player will find it difficult to put this sparkling book down. As a bonus, it will make you a better player.

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I CHESS Section I The Origin Of Chess Chess is the most ancient and universal game known among men, for its original is beyond the memory of history. (Franklin's Essay on Chess.) In days of yore what time no bard has sung Or sung with truth -- the race called Chessic sprung; From Diomedes some the race derive, Some to Palamedes the honor give; This lived when cried for conquest Philip's boy And that when Priam perished with her Troy, Others suppose their founder (bane or boon) Dropped through some strange volcano from the moon; Others opine Prometheus (when his plan Of manufacturing and igniting man With life he first projected, he assayed Smaller game first experiment to aid) Found a huge tusk some elephant had cast; The tusk divided and its portions classed In equal sets; one set dyed black, and then With skill mechanic formed the Chessic men; Next from a moonbeam vivified the breed And gave them action as a sample deed; His mind investing with what might be done When mouldering clay he pilfered from the Sun. Fashioned and furnished thus the sage designed The Pigmy tribes as emblems of Mankind. (Dibdin's Chessiad.) That Chess comes to us from Arabia or Persia is clearly deducible from the words "Sha-mat"-- which, according to Sir William Jones, signify in Persian language "the King is dead." The Germans say "Shach-matt"; and the Anglo-Saxons "Check-mate," when the King is dead--the game is ended. (Enc. Brit.) It is well for us, therefore, to know the potential significance and the historical dignity of that remarkable intellectual pursuit, which, although it bears the look of an amusement, and its student uses toy-like instruments, as did the great inventor of logarithms, Napier of Merchiston, in the wellknown ivory bones or...

A Remarkable Book by One of the Game’s Most Creative Minds Grandmaster Igor Zaitsev ranks as one of the most creative chess minds ever in the history of the royal game. This is his book of secrets and methods, his remarkable life’s work. Zaitsev unearthed astonishing ideas which even giants of the game had overlooked. World champions Tigran Petrosian and Anatoly Karpov insisted on Zaitsev’s analytical help in their matches, wanting to be first to play his profound discoveries, such as the famous Zaitsev Variation of the Ruy Lopez. Zaitsev was himself a tournament champion. With his sharp, combinative style, he won dozens of “Most Beautiful Game” awards. Many of these games provide context for his lessons. But Zaitsev is even more than a renowned coach and competitor. Part analyst, part champion, part chess philosopher, and part chess poet, he reveals the underlying logic and beauty of chess in a way no one else has ever done. In his eye-opening title chapter, “Attacking the Strongpoint,” Zaitsev makes explicitly clear a common strategic element never formalized until this book. Often overlooked by amateurs and even GMs, the idea can lead to winning tactics in many games! Backed up by top-level games, Zaitsev also provides deep-level explanations about: • Combinations and Piece Harmony • Strategy and Structure • Learning from the Cycle of Chess Epochs • The Role of Reason and Judgment • The Chess Law of Conservation of Energy • Strategy: Evolution vs. Revolution, Recognizing a Favorable Structure As you read Zaitsev, you’ll often find yourself thinking, “Ah, now I get it!” The volume is topped off by supplemental games, a complete autobiography by Zaitsev, a special foreword by world champion Garry Kasparov, as well as tributes and memories from world champion Anatoly Karpov and famed coach Mark Dvoretsky. A signed and numbered limited hardcover edition will be simultaneously released. Each book is signed by Igor Zaitsev. There will be only 200 of these unique collectors’ editions.

In this enlarged edition of a modern classic (first published in 1991) on the battle of chess ideas, grandmaster Mihai Suba developed the concept of ?dynamic potential? in modern chess strategy. In improving your position on the board the old strategy principles often lead to conflicting conclusions. Suba takes another view on the meaning of, for example, ?bad positions? and ?quiet moves?, and uses a light touch to explain his ideas. With many entertaining and instructive examples the author explores ?the accumulation of potential? as the modern way to get the advantage. A thought-provoking and yet very practical guide.
