(Hansen) [2009]
"If you want to reach the heights,
you should study the entire history of chess. I can't give any clear logical
explanation for it, but I think it is absolutely essential to soak up the whole
of chess history." - VLADIMIR KRAMNIK
In
this book Lars Bo Hansen shows how chess understanding has evolved and explains
how and why a study of the great champions of the past and present will
significantly improve your chess. Although modern chess is a highly concrete
game where calculation is paramount and principles often appear to take a back
seat, Hansen argues that the principles have become implicit at top level:
"you cannot win games only by following Steinitz's or Nimzowitsch's
principles, but you will certainly lose games if you don't know these principles!"
Hansen
shows that pattern recognition - one of the most vital aspects of chess mastery
- is built up highly effectively by studying historic games, and cites many
examples which will immediately form part of your armoury. Building upon the
structure of his acclaimed work How Chess Games are Won and Lost, Hansen also argues that the transitions
opening-to-middlegame and middlegame-to-endgame are best understood by studying
the games of the great champions.
Throughout
the book, the emphasis is firmly on improving your chess, and equipping you to
improve your chess further by studying on your own. At the same time, you will
enjoy a feast of the most instructive chess games of all time - both classical
and modern. The final chapter discusses the future development of chess style.
