Product Description
Product Description
For the practical player this volume contains a useful arsenal of little known and deadly ideas. For the armchair enthusiast it is replete with fine specimens of chess board art garnished by the humour of a sharp literary mind. Tartakower was a grandmaster and writer of wit and erudition whose annotations are perennially fresh and provocative. As a player he achieved a string of important first prizes such as London 1927 and Liege 1930 which brought him within a whisker of a world championship challenge against Alekhine.

Synopsis,
This review is from: My Best Games of Chess: 1905-1930 (Paperback)
Grandmaster Tartakower was one of the chess free thinkers, along with Reti and Nimzowitsch, who together constituted the so-called Hypermodern School of chess. These players challenged the formal classicism of the great pre-World War One grandmasters such as Tarrasch, Rubinstein and Schlechter, and in their games they proved that many of the hallowed classical rules - concerning, for example, central control by pawns and rapid development of the pieces - could be turned upside down. This volume contains Tartakower's best games from the earlier part of his career, when the Polish grandmaster was trying to carve his way through to a world championship challenge. Of particular value are Tartakower's games with his own defence 1 d4 Nf6 2c4 d6 3Nf3 Bg4 with which he scored a number of notable victories.
