Assess your chess strength with this test-yourself guide. Based on the author's monthly column in the UK magazine Chess, Grandmaster Daniel King invites you to sit alongside the leading players in the world - including Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Shirov, Svidler, Morozevich, Adams, Short, Grischuk, Judit Polgar and many more - and predict their next moves, one by one, until victory is achieved. Points are awarded, or deducted, depending on how successful you are, thereby enabling you to gauge your chess rating. Moreover, while you are discovering the strategies and ideas of the world's best players, you will find yourself thinking in a more purposeful way and subconsciously improving your own play.
Each game has an introduction, profiling the winner and his or her playing style, so that the book also provides a colourful portrayal of the current chess elite.

Nach längerer Zeit hat der erfolgAutor und Schachkommentator Daniel King wieder ein neues Schachbuch herausgebracht.
Wie bereits bei anderen Büchern oder seiner Reihe in Schach 64 hat er hierfür wieder eine Auswahl interesund hochklassiger Partien zuund ausführlich kom
Der Clou ist dabei, dass man in die Rolle eines beteiligten Spielers schlüpft und dessen Züge herausfinsoll. Je nach Erfolg erhält man dafür Punkte gutgeschrieben oder abund kann dann am Ende der Partie seine Punktezahl in einer Taals Leistung einschätzen.
Als Protagonisten bei den insge20 Partien treten einige der herausragendsten Spieler unserer Zeit auf, und die hier vorgeführten Partien sind wirklich Meisterwerke aus allen Stil- und Eröffnungsrichtungen.
Kurzum: Daniel King hat das Schreiben nicht verlernt: Er versteht es, spannende und lehrreiche Partien sehr gut zu vermitteln, seine Leser zu motivieren und dabei auch noch glänzend zu unterhalten.
