John Roycroft (Ed)
Outlandish moves and manoeuvres, no-holds-barred instant complexity almost instantly resolved, these are some of the hallmarks of the Pogosyants comet that blazed across the chess firmament and was snuffed out in 1991, but not before the composer had completed thousands of studies large and small - more than anyone else in history. He was a close friend of Mikhail Tal, and, to the cognoscenti, is as deeply missed today. From the evidence of Tal's games and Pogosyants' studies the two parallel creative geniuses had much in common. This book contains a selection of 100 studies, sent by Pogosyants to the editor, with full solutions.

Christian Kongsted
This book pits readers against the grandmasters by placing them in real-game situations where there is a way to defeat a well-known player. Kongsted: "Your task is to find the moves which lead to the defeat of some of the strongest players in the world. Quite often one move can change the course of the game, and calculating with precision at the right moment can mean the difference between winning and losing. Even if you have had a lost position for a long time, you may suddenly get the chance to turn things around if your opponent drops his guard for a moment." Contains 351 puzzle positions with full solutions and a sel-rating system. All positions are taken from real games. Christian Kongsted trained as a journalist at the Danish School of Journalism, and is an experienced chess writer.

Efstratios Grivas
This book offers a detailed repertoire for White against five Black defences involving a fianchettoed bishop on g7. These are the King's Indian, Grunfeld, Benko, Benoni and Modern Defences. The repertoire is geared towards posing unconventional problems for Black in somewhat atypical positions for each defence. In each chapter Grivas explores some typical endgames for the defence in question before moving on to exploring the theory behind the attacking systems he has chosen. A deeply researched repertoire book which is not dependent upon the latest trends in opening theory. Author Efstratios Grivas is a Greek Grandmaster, FIDE Senior Trainer and International Arbiter.

Efstratios Grivas
This book is in every way a definitive guide: Efstratios Grivas provides the inside story on a variation of the Sicilian Defence that he has worked for more than 20 years to perfect, and which rightly bears his name. The Grivas Sicilian (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6) has proved itself sound and reliable in practice, but is also far less well investigated than most Sicilian systems. This gives it an extra sting in practice, which readers will be able to use to their advantage over the board. The Grivas Sicilian generally leads to positions akin to the Scheveningen, but with some subtle differences. Grivas explains these subtleties at length, helping readers to exploit all their chances to seize the initiative. Grandmaster Efstratios Grivas lives in Athens. He has represented his country on many occasions, winning an individual gold medal at the 1989 European Team Championship.

Yuri Yakovich
The Sveshnikov Variation (1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3, Nc6; 3.d4,exd4; 4.Nxd4,Nf6; 5.Nc3,e5) is one of the most uncompromising lines of the Sicilian Defence. Black accepts a loose pawn-structure in return for a great deal of piece activity. Decades of experience have shown that it is far from easy for White to neutralize Black's active play, and the Sveshnikov is now firmly established as a favourite weapon for players who wish to win games as Black. Leading grandmasters who have relied on the Sveshnikov include Nunn, Krasenkow, Lautier, Illescas, Shirov, Leko and, most notably, Vladimir Kramnik. Here Russian GM Yakovich presents a detailed, up-to-date coverage of all the main variations including White's 6th and 7th move alternatives and the Pelikan system. Yakovich is an expert in this system and he makes his personal recommendations clear in the text. This is the most comprehensive book on the Sveshnikov since the inventor's own 1980s work.

Carsten Hansen
Ever since Nimzowitsch introduced his flexible, dynamic defence to the queen's pawn, debate has raged over White's best reply. Many variations have been in and out of fashion, but one line in particular has proved an enduring weapon - the sound and solid 4 e3 line, known as the Rubinstein Variation. The 4 e3 Nimzo is extraordinarily rich in strategy. All manner of different central pawn-structures can arise, such as the blocked centre characteristic of the Hübner Variation and a variety of IQP positions. This comprehensive coverage contains 18 chapters of analysis in two parts. Part one covers 4..0-0 and part two examines other 4th moves for Black. Does not include transpositions to the Saemisch System. Carsten Hansen is a FIDE Master from Denmark. He has a reputation for writing well-researched, thorough books on major opening systems.

Yuri Yakovich
The author has been playing the 4.f3 system with White for over 15 years and now he shares his thoughts and analysis in the form of this book. Seven chapters of analysis and text examine the position after Black's 4th move alternatives 4..Nc6; 4..0-0; 4..c5; and 4..d5 (4 chapters) A final chapter of illustrative games shows some ideas in action in international chess. 4.f3 challenges the Nimzo-Indian by forcing Black either to occupy the centre with pawns or allow White to do so. Play is often quite sharp and the better prepared player has a big advantage, especially since Yakovich has uncovered new ideas in several key lines. Author Yuri Yakovich is an experienced Russian Grandmaster.

He gives lines for Black after 6.g3 and 6.Nxc6 before considering 6.Ndb5. In the main lines he recommends 10…Qa5+ against 10.Nd5 and the line with 11…Bg7 against 10.Bxf6.

Written by the 2004 World solving Champion!
John Nunn
In this book, John Nunn, a top-class grandmaster who is also the 2004 World Problem Solving Champion, explains the methods by which chess problems and studies are solved. The logical and creative methods advocated, while targeted at the solving of composed positions, may also help players find startling tactical solutions in their games. Solving in Style also constitutes an entertaining and insightful introduction to the world of problems and studies. There are chapters on series problems and other unorthodox stipulations, and also a discussion of specific themes such as the Novotny interference.
This classic text is one of few on this important subject, and is now available again, having been difficult to obtain for a decade. Chess positions for solving are as old as the game itself, and provide stimulating and beneficial exercise for chess-players. However, while there is an abundance of books on chess puzzles, and much specialist literature on studies and problems, there is an astonishing dearth of guidance for solvers.
GM John Nunn has won the British Problem Solving Championship three times.

Xie Jun
In 1988, at the age of eighteen, Xie Jun was just another promising junior who had never even played a Grandmaster, let alone beaten one. Yet, by 1991, she had beaten the Women’s World Champion, Maya Chiburdanidze, to take her title. This book charts Xie Jun’s rise to stardom through her own eyes and includes 40 of her games with her own extensive annotations. Her writing is down-to-earth, without any trace of egotism, whilst her style of play is very direct. A very good read with some excellent games.
pub. 1998, softback, 223 pages.
