Synopsis,
This review is from: Soviet Chess: A Western Expert Reviews Soviet Triumphs (Hardinge Simpole Chess Classics) (Paperback)
Bob Wade, twice British champion and for decades chief junior coach of the British Chess Federation, was one of the driving forces behind the explosion of chess in England which led to three team silver medals in the chess Olympiads of 1984, 1986 and 1988 and to a British player, Nigel Short, challenging for the world title in 1993. Wade won the International Master title in his own right, and would doubtless have obtained a Grandmaster title under modern title stipulations. He is also a noted chess author and has been awarded the OBE for services to chess. Soviet Chess is best read along with Kotov & Yudovitch: The Soviet School of Chess. It is an examination of the Soviet chess machine but seen from the point of view of an expert outsider, fascinated by the training methods which were capable of identifying and nurturing talent up to grandmaster and world champion level on a consistent basis.

Excellent analysis of the great Russian players,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soviet Chess: A Western Expert Reviews Soviet Triumphs (Hardinge Simpole Chess Classics) (Paperback)
Chess Grandmaster Bob Wade examines the secret behind the Soviet game of chess and how such a nation can consistently produce expert players. From the point of view of a westerner, this exploration is doubly fascinating and Wade analyses the strengths of such players as Botvinnik, Tal, Alekhine and Spassky. This edition Published by Hardinge and Simpole.

a western expert reviews soviet chess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soviet Chess: A Western Expert Reviews Soviet Triumphs (Hardinge Simpole Chess Classics) (Paperback)
this is a companion book in the hardinge simpole series to the soviet school of chess. the main difference is that it is written by a western expert -twice british chess champion-who used the soviet model as the template for his own highly successful chess training of british juniors.the book is packed with insights-positions -problems and well annotated games showing the soviet elite in action.
