He illustrates the modern practice of chess with many examples from imaginative players such as Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Ivanchuk and tempestuous innovators such as Shirov and Morozevich. In \u003ci\u003eSecrets of Modern Chess Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e , Watson broke new ground by describing the developments in chess strategy since the time of Nimzowitsch. He explained how modern players are more willing than their predecessors to favour dynamic considerations over static ones, and how they have increasingly transcended the limiting 'rules' which influenced play in earlier times. The dominant results of Garry Kasparov and the rise of a new generation of supergrandmasters testify to the effectiveness of this dynamic and open-minded philosophy which has enriched modern chess. Those who enjoyed \u003ci\u003eSecrets of Modern Chess Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e will welcome the clarification of important concepts. \u003ci\u003eChess Strategy in Action\u003c\/i\u003e can also be read on its own as an outstanding collection of modern games with thoughtful and enlightening annotations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gambit Publications, LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056908812528,"sku":"9781901983692","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781901983692_p0.jpg?v=1763611821","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781901983692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
