Grandmaster Miskel shares his wit and insight into the deeper meaning of martial arts. Essays like, "A Scientific Breakdown of the Strike" discuss the difference between a crushing strike, a compression strike, a jarring strike, a stunning strike, and a shocking strike that will render an opponent unconscious. Grandmaster Miskel explains the foundations and origins of many of the systems developed today. He speaks fondly of the early days and battles and with pride at the direction our brotherhood is going in the future. He talks about martial arts snobbery and petty jealousy that divide us and about the need for unity and tolerance. He reminisces about the old days in Chicago, he speaks of the philosophical principles that form our code of conduct and chivalry, and explains the concept of "coming full circle," so that, in the end, the techniques of the Grandmaster are as simple as those of a beginner, only devastatingly more effective.

“A bravura performance…An entertaining book” (Kirkus Reviews) about the dramatic 2016 World Chess Championship between Norway’s Magnus Carlsen and Russia’s Sergey Karjakin, which mirrored the world’s geopolitical unrest and rekindled a global fascination with the sport. The first week of November 2016, hundreds of people descended on New York City’s South Street Seaport to watch the World Chess Championship between Norway’s Magnus Carlsen and Russia’s Sergey Karjakin. By the time it was over would be front-page news and thought by many the greatest finish in chess history. With both Carlsen and Karjakin just twenty-five years old, it was the first time the championship had been waged among those who grew up playing chess against computers. Originally from Crimea, Karjakin had recently repatriated to Russia under the direct assistance of Putin. Carlsen, meanwhile, had expressed admiration for Donald Trump, and the first move of the tournament he played was called a Trompowsky Attack. Then there was the Russian leader of the World Chess Federation being barred from attending due to US sanctions, and chess fanatic and Trump adviser Peter Thiel being called on to make the honorary first move in sudden death. That the tournament even required sudden death was a shock. Oddsmakers had given Carlsen, the defending champion, an eighty percent chance of winning. It would take everything he had to retain his title. Author Brin-Jonathan Butler was granted unique access to the two-and-half-week tournament and watched every move. The Grandmaster “is not the usual chronicle of a world-championship chess match….Butler offers insight into what it takes to become the best chess player on the planet...A vibrant and provocative look at chess and its metaphorical battle for territory and power” (Booklist).

Freshman Daniel Pratzer gets a chance to prove himself when the chess team invites him and his father to a weekend-long parent-child tournament. Daniel, thinking that his father is a novice, can't understand why his teammates want so badly for them to participate. Then he finds out the truth: as a teen, his father was one of the most promising young players in America, but the pressures of the game pushed him too far, and he had to give up chess to save his own life and sanity. Now, thirty years later, Mr. Pratzer returns to the game to face down an old competitor and the same dark demons that lurk in the corners of a mind stretched by the demands of the game. Daniel was looking for acceptance—but the secrets he uncovers about his father will force him to make some surprising moves himself, in Grandmaster by David Klass.

Otto Penzler and the Mystery Writers of America present Grandmaster by Warren Murphy and Molly Cochran, winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original in 1985. Two men, born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, driven to oppose each other--for only one man may be the Grandmaster. Justin Gilead and Alexander Zharkov, two men driven by powerful forces they can neither understand nor deny--driven to fight each other in a battle for power that only one of them may win. Gilead, a magnificent athlete, an American, a genius, and a spy. Zharkov, a master strategist, head of the feared secret service agency, Nichevo, a determined, ambitious man. They first meet as ten-year-old chess prodigies-both lonely, both meaning to win, both born under the magical sign of the gold coiled serpent. They will come to know the uses of pleasure, the secrets of pain, the impact of evil turned upon itself. They will understand the deadly forces that grip the world in swift violence, sudden death. And they will finally know that only one man may be the Grandmaster. Grandmaster is an extraordinary tale of spymasters and assassins, murder and intrigue played against a background of Far Eastern mysticism from Moscow to Washington, from Havana to Tibet.

"The Last Grandmaster: Legend of Hua" is a epic tale of one man's estraordinary struggle and ultimate triumph, and reveals to modern readers for the first time, an ancient, mystical path to success and long life. It chronicles the achievements of Grandmaster Sin Kwang The ́, an extraordinary man, whose exceptional discipline and superb martial arts expertise enabled him to become the youngest Grandmaster in history. Schooled in the East in the ancient Shaolin martial arts by the legendary Shaolin Grandmaster E, and schooled in the West by two of Hollywood's most famous screenwriters, Sid Field and Robert Mckee, Grandmaser Sin Kwang The ́ is uniquely able to take you on a journey through his eventful life and beyond, into the mystical realm of ancient legend to share powerful life-enhancing techniques never before available to the West. "The Last Grandmaster" artfully weaves the legendary stories of historic martial arts heroes with the Grandmaster's own life story, set against riveting events in the history of modern China. The Grandmaster also introduces a profound spiritual element into his exciting tale by revealing the existence of his own spiritual guardian, the legendary martial arts warrior, Lady Hua, who first appeared to him in his dreams as a boy. Lady Hua has served as his spiritual guardian throughout his entire life and unfailingly led him through tragedy and pitfalls on his path to greatness. With her guidance, Sin The ́ was able to persevere through tragedies that might have crushed a lesser man, saved by his unwavering commitment to a lifelong regimen of superhumanly-grueling martial arts training that few others could have survived. The book also reveals the workings of the 720 pressure points in our bodies that mysteriously effect our health and well-being, which, when harnessed, can make you stronger, faster, smarter, healthier, longer lived, and enable you to become wealthier and more successful than you ever dreamed possible. Best of all, at the end of the book, Grandmaster Sin Kwang The ́ bestows the ancient Nei Kung technique of "Eternal Youth" onto his faithful readers, which, when combined with a special, enhanced "Green Smoothie" elixir he has developed just for you, can extend your life expectancy by decades! BOOK ONE: This book, the first in a three volume set, follows the Grandmaster from his infancy during the brutal WWII Japanese invasion and occupation of Indonesia through to the later years of civil unrest and rioting that tragically took the lives of two of his dearest loved ones, culminating in his journey to America to begin anew. BOOKS TWO & THREE: The two sequels to follow will chronicle his rise in America to become the founder and respected leader of the largest martial arts organization in the world outside of China, and his ultimate success as an Executive Producer in Hollywood of the soon-to-be a major motion picture, the martial arts action feature, "Defenders of the Gao." His message to you all is: "Only by daring to dream can your dream become reality..."
