Full Description

Learn from the Legends is a modern classic. ChessCafe chose it as their Book of the Year and IM Jeremy Silman went even further when he wrote: "I can't recall having seen a better book in the last two decades." Ten years after the original publication, Quality Chess is proud to offer a revised hardback edition with a new chapter on the latest chess legend, Magnus Carlsen.

Mihail Marin examines and explains the ideas of the legends who shaped modern chess. The chapters in this book discuss:

Rubinstein's excellent rook endgame technique

Alekhine's expertise with the heavy pieces

Botvinnik's ability for deep analysis

Tal's handling of heavy pieces vs. minor pieces

Petrosian's positional exchange sacrifices

Fischer's strength with the king's bishop

Karpov's handling of bishops of opposite colour

Korchnoi the rebel

Carlsen the new king
