Learning from games of some of the greatest chess players
11. Oktober 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Romanian Grandmaster Marin takes from the games of eight of the world's best chess players over a large span of time and gives a solid analysis. It explains why and what is important about these players and their games. Such books (examples of others I liked: "Understanding Chess" and "Unbeatable Chess Lessons and More Unbeatable Chess Lessons") are very helpful in getting to understand important ideas and provide them from actual play. I also liked "The Chess Kings" that covers games and analysis and tells about the history of the great players. From Grandmaster Marin you get a good dose of great instruction along with some interesting background on the greats! I would have given this book five stars if it didn't have a lot of mistakes in typos where some moves couldn't be played and the position was wrong (I doubled checked to make sure it wasn't me). When the typos are cleaned up, then five stars!

The best work about world champions
13. Januar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This chess book is one of the kind. Most people with expirience when reading a new chess book find a lot of familiar or well known subjects and themes in it. And when u buy some world champions biography book, esentially u buy a book about one person and one style of play, with lot of similary played games in it. Lets say u buy an excellent Shirov book "Fire on board". You know more or less exactly in what direction every game would lead. And you will have a lot of inspiring tactics training in it. Or u buy great Gligoric book "I Play Against Pieces", and suddenly feel like a great strategist.
But this book, this Mihail Marin one is everything of that compiled in just one book trying to tell the most important things everyone of these eight great players learned us in chess. And it succedes in it very well indeed. Its like saying: Lets get to work, we have no pages to trash here. So Marin went to work, and hit everyone of those great masters frontally, in the head. He succesfully realised what were the best strenghts of everyone, and jumped in the right chair in every chapter.
My favorite chapter nevetheless is still the last one about Korchnoi, maybe because I like the guy and his atitude, and although author titles his chapter as Victor Korchnoi-an Universal player, to me the story tells us about fighting spirit of the great man.
I think that after reading the Petrosian chapter, I wouldnt be scared sacryficing an exchange any more, and I would be playing an opposite coloured bishop endings better and in different way after reading a Karpov chapter.
There are few small mistakes I was able to detect, mostely in analysis part, but they are not of serious nature, most of those are only tipfelers. Let me ilustrate that: on page 256 is said: "Black already threatens Rh6"; it should be sad Bh6, or on page 217 63.Ke3 move is impossible, since enemy king is on d2; or the name of Ljubomir Ljubojevic is written on page 218 as Lubomir etc. Those are really small mistakes that dont influence the overall performance of this excellent book.
I can say nothing more but absolutely recommend this title to everyone.

Modern day classic on middle to endgame technique
29. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
What is the book about?
Marin considers this book an "endgame" book but it really is much more. Marin takes games from the legends of chess (Tal, Fischer, Korchnoi etc.) and shows how they used technique to bring home the point. Within each chapter, Marin provides a theme that illustrates how the particular player had a pension for certain piece choices (Petrosian's exchange sac, Fischers' bishops, Tal's rook for two minor pieces). Through excellent narrative and detailed analysis Marin really shows WHY their technique was affective. To do this, Marin explains why things DON'T work as much as do work. Too often in books, reasonable continuations are discarded as inferior without explanation. It's hard to learn when you aren't given the necessary background on why something doesn't work. In many cases, Marin shows that the player in question (Karpov is a good example) provided continuations in notes that just weren't thorough or convincing.
So, here are the most compelling reasons that every serious chess player should not only read through every page ...
1) First, the depth of analysis will increase because a new discipline is installed by really pressing both the idea behind variations as well as the analysis to support the conclusion.
2) Technique from middlegame to endgame is poorly and under represented topic in chess books. The quality just doesn't exist at the higher levels. Marin does this implicitly and I can honestly say that after savoring every page of the book, I am a better player in recognition of winning transitions.
3) Marin really knows how to teach. He is personable and human with no real ego bursting through the pages. His objectivity and occasional humor make him the best chess writer alive.
4) This book really is beneficial for players at every level. If you're a beginner, just try and understand the ideas that he's analyzing. If you're slightly more advanced, try to follow every variation so you can get to the point where you can anticipate the moves based on the idea. Finally, for the advanced player, see if you agree with Marin and the depth of his analysis (and he does provide plenty of targets for the advanced player to shoot at).
I do believe this is a modern day classic because of all the lessons that are layered into this book.
I absolutely have no reservations about recommending this book.
One final note. The book has plenty of diagrams and can be read without the use of a chess set. But it does take some discipline and possibly a few rereads on certain sections where the variations get a bit long.
