Despite his relatively young age, Magnus Carlsen has already secured his place in chess history as a legend of the game. In a short space of time his accomplishments have been extraordinary. In December 2012 he broke Garry Kasparov’s record to become the highest-rated chess player of all time. He followed up this achievement in 2013 by defeating Vishy Anand to become World Chess Champion. Carlsen’s universal style, positional mastery and incredible mental strength add up to make him a formidable opponent. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in a study of his favourite Carlsen games. Lakdawala examines Carlsen’s skills in attack and defence, exploiting imbalances, accumulating advantages and endgame play, and shows us how we can all improve by learning from Carlsen’s masterpieces.

Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.

*Learn from the games of a world champion
*Important ideas absorbed by continued practice
*Utilizes an ideal approach to chess study

Carlsen the next Capablanca

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because of Carlsen's playing style. Even though he is World Champion he reminds me a bit like Capablanca.
Although he is still young he has a long way to go, you never know what heights he can achieve.
The games are very instructive and easy to follow with plenty of diagrams. I enjoy playing over his games. If your a Carlsen fan then this book is for you. The games speak for themselves. Only three other players in the history of chess were born with the faculty of near-omniscient intuition: Morphy, Capablanca and Fischer, and now its time to add a fourth name to the list: Carlsen!
Definitely a great book on Carlsen. A must have.

Great teacher!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

These people are missing the point: Mr. Lakdawala brings attention to critical points by creative comments designed to help you remember them. I have all his books and he is a great teacher. Many will learn to play better chess if... you just read and assimilate his books without being so critical!

I have been playing his games on my chess boards and it is bringing back memories from years past. My daughter told me she is starting a Chess club in her school and I needed to sharpen my skills as I have been away from chess for about 30 years.

Good collection.

As Magnus Carlsen seems ill disposed to publish his own collection of games, someone else will have to. This is a good start.

great chess book as I enjoy many others from this writer how ever i will have to look at many others of his games to encapsulate the bigger picture of his style and the dynamics.

Horrible writing style

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Why does Everyman Chess keep returning to this author? I love studying the games of Capablanca, Korchnoi, Fischer and Carlsen, but for some reason the publisher has chosen CL to do the volumes on all these players. And thus we get page after page of tedious stuff like this: "White's knight emits an unpleasant 'gulp!' sound, since he notices that Black's ill-tempered king and muscular rook resent his presence. Lines of communication are not sound in White's army, like a bad connection in a long-distance phone call." (p. 256) Stop it. Just stop. There are thousands of chess books out there, and I don't need or want any more by this annoying writer. I simply cannot stand him.

A little too flippant for the subject-matter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

The usual high quality presentation one has come to expect from this Everyman chess series. Lakdawala unfortunately is not to everyone's taste as he is too flippant which certainly doesn't suit a book about Magnus Carlsen.
