From the Back Cover
The Najdorf Sicilian is one of the most sharp, dynamic and popular openings that Black can play and is a firm favorite amongst the world’s elite players, including world number one Garry Kasparov. From very early on, Black unbalances the game to a reach a position in which one can play for the win without exceptional risk.
The soundness of the Najdorf has never been seriously doubted, but some players can be put off by the ever-spiraling amount of theory amassed on this great opening. In Play the Najdorf: Scheveningen Style, however, Grandmaster and openings expert John Emms condenses this mountain to produce a workable black repertoire against all of White’s possible options. Emms concentrates on lines where Black adopts a very early ..e7-e6, thus establishing the well-known Scheveningen pawn structure.
Play the Najdorf explains an opening championed by Garry Kasparov; is written by a renowned openings theoretician; covers all of White’s main replies.

Starting Out: Queen's Gambit Declined by Neil McDonald

http://rapidshare.com/files....ed.djvu
Review: There aren't that many books on the QGD -- Marovic and Polugayevsky are the only authors that come to mind off the top of my head, and they're both somewhat dated. So there's definitely a niche for a book on the subject. The book under review is a godsend for a 1.d4 player like myself who wants a clear explanation of ideas. For instance, in the classical set-up (...c6, ...Nbd7, ...Be7), what does one aim for in the tabiya position that arises after 12....e5?
The book, as the author makes clear, doesn't cover every main line: it restricts itself to the Tartakower, the Lasker, the Exchange, the Classical, the Cambridge Springs, and the Bf4 lines. The author explains the ideas in each of these lines using games from both past and present. Every class player who plays or encounters the QGD will benefit from this, and even experts may pick up a few things.
In my humble opinion, mastery of QGD and QGA postions is essential for every chessplayer, regardless of whether he plays them or not.To this extent, the book belongs on every player's shelf.

Product Description

The first edition of this book ushered in a new era in chess publishing. It was the first book based on computer-generated position databases that are guaranteed to provide the actual result of a position.
However, this book is no computer print-out. It takes a human 'oracle' to extract the useful information from this mass of data and to identify new principles to help the rest of us appreciate the key practical points. Dr John Nunn, top-class grandmaster and renowned theoretician, performs this role admirably. He has identified where previous theory has been overturned, and where there are important new results. Dr Nunn was also the first to reveal the general importance of the many 'reciprocal zugzwang' positions.
* The complete truth about the ending Rook and Pawn vs Rook
* One of the most important and controversial chess books of the twentieth century
* An essential addition to every serious chess-player's library
* A new expanded editi! on

Product Description

The English Opening (1.c4) got its name because it was first used in international competition by an Englishman: 19th-century world chess champion Howard Staunton. But it achieved the great popularity it enjoys today with the help of a Russian: the author of this definitive book, former world champion Anatoly Karpov. Among its advantages, as Karpov demonstrates, is that it can transpose into many other openings, including the Queen’s Gambit Declined, the Reti, the Caro-Kann, the Sicilian with colors reversed, or the Polish—any one of which may provide a winning edge by leading an opponent into unfamiliar territory. This kind of flexibility is what every player needs, and Karpov provides it with a thoroughness no one else could possibly match.

About the Author
Anatoly Karpov is a living legend of chess; he has dominated the world of the chess for over a decade as the world chess champion between 1975 and 1985. Garry Kasparov, the current champion, dethroned him and the two ideologically opposed Russians have had a bitter rivalry ever since. Anatoly Karpov is also the winner of the largest number of tournaments in the history of chess, with more than 160 due tournaments. He is considered the best positional player of history of chess and is the author of several other books on chess theory. He lives in Russia.

Review
"A most enjoyable and instructive work, with an index of endgame themes which allows the student to concentrate on Karpov’s abilities in specific types of endgame." -- John Saunders in British Chess Magazine

"By far the best work on Karpov’s chess to date." -- ChessToday

"Endgame examples on the absolute world top level, and analysed on a very high level, too. Very nicely edited." -- Peter Doggers at ChessVibes.com

Product Description
Anatoly Karpov’s legendary endgame technique has always been something of an enigma. Karpov became worldchampion 1975 (having been preceded by Bobby Fischer). He managed to win positions which nearly everybody else estimated as a draw with his fine end game technique. This book for the first time takes a close look at this end game technique, ex plaining the finer points better than Karpov himself has ever cared to do. A very in structive and en tertaining book.

Tigran Petrosian: His life and games by Viktor Vasiliev (1974)

From back cover:

Petrosian is often called too cautious.
Yet he defeated Botvinnik, Spassky, Korchnoi, Portisch, Polugaevsky and others, in set matches.

His Soviet colleagues, intent on pyshing 'dynamism,' castigated him for his maneuvering style.
Yet he was Soviet Champion three times.

The public derides him for drawing too many games.
Yet he was Champion of the World for six years.

Tigran Petrosian's place in history - a World Champion with a distinctive personal style - is secure. But still he is misunderstood by many of his contemporaries. As Larry Evans writes: 'Tigran Petrosian is one of the most original and mystifying players in the history of chess.'

Steinitz in his time was called crazy, Lasker was lucky (his rivals said), Nimzovich and Reti horrified their colleagues. None of them was understood by his contemporaries, but today we recognize that each made vital contributions to the art of chess and to its fundamental theory.

Now RHM has the pleasure of presenting the first book that understand Petrosian. Through biographical accounts, all based on extensive personal interviews, Petrosian's style is traced to its origins (Nimzovich); through deep game analysis, all based on Petrosian's own notes or those of his trainer Suetin, his philosophy of chess is linked to his character.

This book also explains why and how Petrosian's methods work in practice. the reader should be willing to suspend his prejudices and realize that there is a great deal he can learn from Petrosian, since his methods are so successful. Such a reader should not be surprised to find his own results improving markedly.

Even if you only like chess gossip - and don't we all -- allow yourself to be guiled by one of the sharpest minds in chess. His comments on the life and times of a professional chess master in the Soviet Union, his attitudes toward his contemporaries, his observations on life in general - all are sure to become part of the literary heritage of chess.

Product Description
The fourth book of the series is devoted to opening schemes, which arise after the moves 1.e4 d6, or 1.e4 g6. These systems have proved their right of existence, despite the numerous attempts to refute them once and for all. The positions are so diverse strategically and so rich tactically that they deserve a separate volume. Black avoids early clashes and narrows his “sphere of influence” to only three ranks. However, his harmonious development enables him to attack often White’s powerful center successfully.
The 14th World Champion Khalifman recommends against the majority of the flank systems schemes with f2-f4, which provide additional control over the center. He included in this fundamental work plenty of new and original analyses which surely will cause Black a lot of trouble!
