Synopsis
A treasure trove of brilliant chess moves which appear to contradict basic principles and yet are played successfully by world-class grandmasters. Free your mind of inflexibility and join the authors on a fascinating journey through chess creativity., The computer has changed the way top players think about chess. The silicon mind has no psychological barriers. It is "willing" to check moves that most humans, including top players, consider absurd and reject instantly. Thus this brave, new computer era inevitably leads to a reassessment of old axioms, principles and evaluations. In this book the reader will discover the incredible power unconventional moves can have. These moves contradict the most fundamental principles of the "old chess", and yet most of them played by leading grandmasters. At first sight these moves look so strange that the reader can not avoid asking, "Was this grandmaster was inspired or drunk?" The answer will definitely surprise you.

    The seller offered a hard-to-find chess book in "like new" condition at an excellent price. He also allowed me to combine the purchase of two books with only one shipping charge. The book arrived several days ahead of schedule, well-packaged and in the condition described. This is a professional bookseller from whom I look forward to purchasing more books from his outstanding chess book collection in the near future!
