Download or read book How Life Imitates Chess written by Garry Kasparov and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garry Kasparov was the highest-rated chess player in the world for over twenty years and is widely considered the greatest player that ever lived. In How Life Imitates Chess Kasparov distills the lessons he learned over a lifetime as a Grandmaster to offer a primer on successful decision-making: how to evaluate opportunities, anticipate the future, devise winning strategies. He relates in a lively, original way all the fundamentals, from the nuts and bolts of strategy, evaluation, and preparation to the subtler, more human arts of developing a personal style and using memory, intuition, imagination and even fantasy. Kasparov takes us through the great matches of his career, including legendary duels against both man (Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov) and machine (IBM chess supercomputer Deep Blue), enhancing the lessons of his many experiences with examples from politics, literature, sports and military history. With candor, wisdom, and humor, Kasparov recounts his victories and his blunders, both from his years as a world-class competitor as well as his new life as a political leader in Russia. An inspiring book that combines unique strategic insight with personal memoir, How Life Imitates Chess is a glimpse inside the mind of one of today's greatest and most innovative thinkers.

Download or read book Gli scacchi a Catania e provincia alla fine dell Ottocento written by Santo Daniele Spina and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il percorso della mostra Gli scacchi a Catania e provincia alla fine dell'Ottocento parte dall'illustrazione dell'attività scacchistica del sacerdote don Pietro Carrera, autore del trattato del 1617. Poi si passa alle notizie relative alla fondazione del Circolo Scacchistico Catanese sullo scorcio del 1895 e agli scacchisti catanesi dell'Ottocento: avvocati, professori, commercianti, banchieri, farmacisti, floricoltori. Pare che dalla Torre Alessi, opera del Sada demolita nel maggio del 1963, si giocasse a scacchi "per corrispondenza" tramite piccioni viaggiatori. Il Prof. Santo Daniele Spina, ideatore e curatore della mostra, ha utilizzato il gioco degli scacchi al fine della ricostruzione storica dello sfondo culturale cittadino che sottintende il gioco dei Re e con tale chiave di lettura ha gettato luce su due categorie sociali: nobiltà e alta-borghesia attive a Catania e provincia alla fine dell'Ottocento.

Book excerpt: One of the hardest tasks competitive chess-players face is the development of an opening repertoire suited to their own style of play. In view of the limited time most players have to study, an economic and well designed repertoire is essential, but it is sometimes difficult to know where to start. In this book, translated by Ken Neat, Grandmaster Gufeld makes the job easier by providing an ideal framework for a practical opening repertoire, specifically tailored for those who relish attacking play.

Download or read book The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal written by Mikhail Tal and published by Everyman Chess. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mikhail Tal, the 'magician from Riga,' was the greatest attacking World Champion of them all, and this enchanting autobiography chronicles his extraordinary career with charm and humor. Dazzling games are interspersed throughout with anecdotes and witty self-interviews, and in typically objective fashion he related both the downs and ups of his encounters. An inveterate smoker and drinker, Tal's life on the circuit was punctuated by bouts in the hospital with kidney problems, but nothing could dull his love for chess and his sheer genius on the chessboard. His illustrious tournament record, up to his death in 1992, is included here in full, along with 100 complete games and nearly as many positions. Tal's annotations in this book are a world apart from ordinary games collections. No reader could fail to be swept along by his passion and vitality as he sets the scene for an encounter and then recounts every psychological twist and turn.

Book excerpt: Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.

Download or read book Russians Versus Fischer written by Dmitry Plisetsky and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magnificent volume contains the extraordinary story of the prolonged battle between Bobby Fischer, the lone American genius who is perhaps the most famous chess player of all time, and the long-standing and all-dominating Soviet chess machine. For the first time readers will be able to view virtually all the secret documents on "the Fischer problem", many of which have never previously been published. These include papers from the archives of the KGB, the Communist Party Central Committee, the USSR Sports Committee, and the Chess Federation. Together with this, there are reports and analysis of Fischer's personality and play, written at the demand of the Soviet authorities by the country's leading Grandmasters, legends such as Mikhail Tal, Tigran Petrosian, Vassily Smyslov, Paul Keres, Victor Korchnoi, and Efim Geller. Also contained in Russians Versus Fischer are annotations and the stories on all of the 158 chess encounters between Fischer and his Soviet adversaries, and a large number of rare photographs and drawings. This book is a significantly enlarged and updated version of the one first published in Russia in 1994.
