description:
Following on from his successful books Understanding Chess Endgames and Understanding Chess Middlegames, John Nunn fleshes out the theory by showing how World Champion Emanuel Lasker handled a wide variety of practical situations. We see how Lasker's play, which his opponents found so unfathomable, was based on logic, extreme pragmatism and a deep understanding of how chess-players think.
- Covers topics not usually considered, such as queenless middlegames and manoeuvring
- Dissects strategic issues including piece activity, pawn-structure and bishop vs knight
- Looks at psychological aspects of chess, such as choosing lines which are most uncomfortable for the opponent
- Discusses how to handle inferior positions
- Explanations focus on general ideas rather than detailed analysis
- Features more than 100 of the most instructive examples from Lasker's career
- Concludes with a selection of exercises, with full commentary and explanation
Hi Nightfury. I think it's just a matter of what you get used to. To me, algebraic is messy - if I'm playing Black, then the 'a' squares are at the other end. When you get used to a notation, then you can concentrate on the game. Up to you, though, of course.
