Dynamic Chess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Chess (Paperback)
This is a very interesting and well written book on chess. It shows the evolution of many openings and concentrates on the contributions made to these openings by the Russians in the first part of the 20th century, up to the 1960's. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the evolution of hypermodernism. The second part is about the Russian school. It shows how the Russians took openings that were considered inferior, because of structural weaknesses, and revitalized them by learning to exploit the dynamic chances available in the positions (particularly the Kings Indian and Sicilian defenses). The chapters are categorized by opening. The book uses grandmaster sample games to show ideas. Another interesting point of the book is that it gives a historical perspective on how Russian chess rose from the ashes to become the dominating power of the chess world. Very interesting for those of us who were not alive back then.
