Description
Chess has recently garnered much attention, especially after the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit." In The Chess Handbook by Dan Glimne, everything about the world's most classic game is explained. The book covers the basic rules and delves into opening and middle game tactics and strategy, including traps, forks, pins, gambits, and opposition. There is also a detailed section on the crucial endgame. Additionally, the fascinating history of chess is presented, from 6th-century India to IBM's and DeepMind's research laboratories.
The book features several master games, from the "immortal game" between Anderssen and Kieseritzky in 1851 to the match between the world's two best chess programs, AlphaZero and Stockfish 8. The Chess Handbook is packed with amusing quotes and entertaining side readings, from how to perform a vertical castling to games with prisoners as human pieces!
