Descriptive Notation Reti was a leading light of the 'hyper-modern' school of chess theory--advocating control of the center of the board through indirect rather than direct means. But this is not the book of a narrow advocate--he clearly appreciates the genius and insight of many of those who came before him and presents the history & development of chess lovingly and knowledgeably. no reviews | add a review

Widely regarded as the best chess book ever written, "Masters of the Chessboard," discusses the playing styles of each of the leading grandmasters of history up until that time. Richard Reti was one of the strongest and certainly was the most original player of all time. He defeated at least once almost every leading player of his era. He defeated Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, Rubinstein, Bogoljubov and Tartakower in tournament games. He invented new and successful opening systems and brilliant endgame studies. He was also a gifted and entertaining writer. In this book, Reti examines the technique of each of the great masters of his era and explains what enabled them to reach the top levels of competitive chess. This 2008 edition includes a new introduction explaining Reti's contributions to modern chess theory. No library descriptions found. |
