RE-ENGINEERING THE CHESS CLASSICS - MATHEW SADL...

Are you ready for new strategic insights about thirty-five of the most fascinating and complex
chess games ever played by World Champions and other top grandmasters? Grandmaster Matthew
Sadler and renowned chess writer Steve Giddins take a fresh look at some classic games ranging
from Anderssen-Dufresne  played in 1852  to Botvinnik-Bronstein (1951) and Geller-Euwe (1953).
They unleashed the collective power of Leela  Komodo and Stockfish to help us humans understand
what happened in games of fan favourites such as Boris Spassky  Mikhail Tal  Bent Larsen and
Bobby Fischer. The first chess engines improved our appreciation of the classic games by
pointing out the tactical mistakes in the original  contemporary game notes. But the expertise
of Matthew Sadler is to uncover the positional course of a game with the help of the second
generation of chess engines that emerged after 2018. This book will change your perception of
these games' strategic and technical patterns. You will  for example  learn to appreciate and
understand a classic Capablanca endgame. And a classic Petrosian exchange sacrifice. And a
winning  and then losing  king-hunt endgame between Spassky and Tal. You will see how Larsen
already understood the strength of the h-pawn march far before AlphaZero's revelation. The
engines offer new strategic ideas and plans that human players have yet to consider. Even the
?the best ever anti- King's Indian player'  Viktor Korchnoi  would be amazed by the engine's
unique ideas about White's breakthroughs on the queenside. The most instructive games are often
those which are more strategic and technical. Using modern engines  the authors have
re-engineered a wonderful collection of classic games  generating dozens of positional chess
lessons that will help every club player and expert to improve their game.
