Batsford - New Books




By Ray Keene and Julian Simpole
Publication Date: February 1, 2007

Editorial Review:
This book contains 71 deeply annotated chess victories of Tigran Petrosian (World Champion from 1963 to 1969) against the leading players of his day, some of which are in print for the first time. The authors' authoritative but accessible language makes it a good read for the amateur as well as a cast-iron network of interlocking variations to satisfy the professionals.

Petrosian was underrated as world champion in his day (many of his achievements were drowned out by the furore surrounding Bobby Fischer) but he is now being critically reappraised – Garry Kasparov paid fulsome tribute to him at a recent London lecture. This insightful book aims to restore him to his rightful position in the pantheon of chess greats.

About the Authors:

Commonwealth chess master Julian Simpole teaches junior world champions and is author of the recently published Junior Chess Training. He has written over 400 chess columns for regional UK newspapers and led his team to victory in the British Lightning Chess championship. He is currently travelling.





by Neil McDonald
Publication Date: 29 April 2006

Editorial Review:
A follow-up to Neil McDonald's incredibly successful Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking (ISBN 0713488948), this insightful book takes a close look at some of the most outstanding games from the last 6 years, commenting on every single move as the game unfolds. This time, however, the emphasis is on planning, and how the players plan their strategy many moves ahead.
The author's detailed approach gives you a rare opportunity to really get to the nitty-gritty of what goes through grandmasters' minds as they play. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the opening moves of each game are discussed more lightly – real discussion begins around the 10th move, which is where the planning stage really kicks in.

The Modern Benoni Revealed
By Richard Palliser
Publication Date: 24 March 2005

Editorial Review:
The Benoni is a dynamic, counter-attacking opening that often leads to highly tactical positions. The great world champion Mikhail Tal enjoyed confusing his opponents with the Benoni's intricacies. Bobby Fischer employed it to win a critical game against Boris Spassky in the 1972 world championship in Reykjavik. Recently, the current world champion Vladimir Kramnik unexpectedly essayed the Benoni in his title fight against Peter Leko. Typically, it was in a situation where he needed to go all out for the win. With such role models, the Benoni has always been popular with club players. 		 
     
The Benko Gambit Revealed
by Neil McDonald
Publication Date: 19 July 2004

Editorial Review:
‘The Benko Gambit Revealed’ is the second in a new and innovative series of books. Using fresh, clear presentation, the key ideas of the openings are explained in an entertaining and accessible way. The aim of this series is to provide the essential knowledge to play the opening, while at the same time revealing the current thinking of the World’s elite players. For example, ‘First Moves’ leads readers through the basic opening moves. ‘Heroes & Zeroes’ gives the best and worst performances with the opening and features some of the leading exponents of the Benko Gambit. ‘Tricks & Traps’ reveals how you might catch out your opponent. ‘What’s Hot’ pinpoints the very latest ideas from the world’s elite. Named after the Hungarian/American player Pal Benko, who pioneered the opening, the Benko Gambit has long been a favourite of dynamic tournament chessplayers. 		 
     
Winning With the Trompowsky
By Wells,Peter
Publication Date: 31 May 2003

Editorial Review:
The accelerated development of the White queen's bishop after 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bg5 was for many years considered a bizarre chess opening, practised only by a few individual 'eccentric' chessplayers scattered around the globe, including the Brazilian Octavio Trompowsky, after whom the variation was named. Then in the 1990s, after a chance discovery, the young English grandmaster Julian Hodgson started to play it on the UK and international chess circuit with dramatic success, scoring many short wins with dashing attacking play. By force of example, the opening then saw a rapid increase in popularity – to the extent that it is now regarded as 'main line' theory! This book presents a thorough survey of the development and latest trends in this exciting opening, together with illustrative games. A must for any competitive player. 		 
     
Budapest Gambit
By Lalic, Bogdan
Publication Date: June 30, 2003

Editorial Review:
The Budapest Gambit is a provocative but sound attempt by Black to disrupt White's smooth development. The Budapest is always popular in club chess and this is the first book to cover the opening for many years.
