Two books from the Chess Secrets series brought together in one volume.
Chess Secrets is a series of books which uncover the mysteries of the
most important aspects of chess: strategy, attack, classical play,
opening play, endgames and preparation. In each book the author chooses
and deeply studies a number of great players from chess history who have
excelled in a particular field of the game and undeniably influenced
those who have followed. Chess Secrets: Heroes of Classical Chess: Learn
from Carlsen, Anand, Fischer, Smyslov and Rubinstein by Craig Pritchett.
In Heroes of Classical Chess, Craig Pritchett selects five great players
whose style exemplifies classically direct, clear, energetic, tough,
ambitious yet fundamentally correct chess playing attributes. Pritchett
studies the major contributions they have made, compares their differing
styles and discusses the critical influences they have had on the
development of chess, on their peers and on all our games. Chess
Secrets: The Giants of Strategy: Learn from Kramnik, Karpov, Petrosian,
Capablanca and Nimzowitsch by Neil McDonald. The chess world has been
blessed with some wonderful strategists, innovators of the game with
their instructive play and profound teachings. In The Giants of
Strategy, Neil McDonald chooses his selection of the most prominent ones
and highlights the major contributions they have made. He examines their
differing approaches and styles, and from Nimzowitsch to Kramnik, how
they followed in each other's footsteps. A careful study of this book
will help you to understand and improve in one of the most crucial
elements of the game.
