Engqvist: The Scandinavian Defense
Revisited

The Scandinavian Defense Revisited

A Cold Blooded Counter to 1. E4!

Forgotten Genius

Dragoljub Velimirovic was a former Yugoslav - Serbian, chess grandmaster whose international career was handicapped by political intrigues and his outspoken temperament. During the heyday of the USSR as the greatest national chess power, the former Yugoslavia was capable of running the Soviet Union a good second. Dragoljub Velimirovic posed a real threat to the men from Moscow. Velimirovic was born in 1942 to a prominent family from Valjevo, in the former Yugoslavia. He was introduced to chess at the age of seven by his mother, Jovanka Velimirovic, one of Yugoslavia's leading female chess players. He died at the age 72, being one of the last players to develop a system or strategy that is so inventive it bears its creator's name. It is a feat that is unlikely to be repeated in the modern era, when computer-based games and databases so thoroughly dominate competition that it is almost impossible to come up with something new. That does not mean that players were more talented or courageous in the decades when Velimirovic was in his prime. Velimirovic, who became a grandmaster in 1973, was never among the 20 top-ranked players in the world. And that was when there were only 200 or so grandmasters; today, there are about 2,400.

Forgotten Genius - The Life and Games of Grandmaster Dragoljub Velimirovic

Essential life lessons and strategy hacks for success from the world of chess, from making smarter choices to building focus and confidence. You don't have to be a great chess player, to think more like a chess player. Two-time US chess champion Jennifer Shahade cuts to some of the most important lessons chess can teach you. She shows how the best players consider not just more but better possibilities by thinking sideways, opening our eyes to smarter choices not just on the board but in all areas of our lives. From building mind palaces to crafting decision trees, Thinking Sideways reveals how to find options that may seem hidden, have confidence in your decisions, feel comfortable going against the grain and maintain deep focus in the face of distraction. Drawing on her own experiences touring the world as a chess champion as well as fascinating examples from across business, politics, the arts and sports, Shahade transforms our understanding of what success looks like, and how to achieve it for ourselves. Thinking Sideways proves that games really can make us better versions of ourselves.

Motion Pictures As a Phase of Commercial Amusement in Toledo, Ohio

An incredible collection of images of chess players from the last 130 years, showcasing the unique relationship between chess and culture, featuring world famous actors, artists, politicians and musicians. You don't have to play chess to appreciate Chess Players: from Charlie Chaplin to Wu-Tang Clan, but as Martin Amis asks in his illuminating essay: What are they playing at?' These evocative photographs transcend the chessboard, spanning 130 years - from a steamship crossing the Atlantic in 1888, to the zero-gravity of space - showcasing the diverse range of individuals who have embraced the game across continents and eras. Marcel Duchamp's iconic quote, 'All chess players are artists,' resonates through these pages. David Hockney likened the games strategic thinking to that of making art 'Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.' 'Chess is war over the board', said Bobby Fischer (grand master and world chess champion) - but here John Lennon and Yoko Ono checkmate this notion, with their all-white, chess 'peace' set. Hollywood stars played chess on and off the screen - Humphrey Bogart deploys a Sicilian Defence against Lauren Bacall, while Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen plot their next gambit in the iconic chess seduction scene from 'The Thomas Crown Affair' (1968). With an introduction by Dylan Loeb McClain, former chess columnist for The New York Times, the photographs in Chess Players help explain the enduring attraction of this cerebral game, from pawn to king, amateur to grandmaster.

Why Play the Catalan Opening?If you're looking for an opening that combines strategic depth with long-term pressure, the Catalan Opening is a top-tier choice. It’s favored by world champions like Vladimir Kramnik and Magnus Carlsen for good reason: the Catalan blends solid positional play with dynamic potential.
By fianchettoing the king's bishop and exerting long-range pressure on the center, White builds a solid yet flexible structure. This opening is ideal for players who prefer a quiet buildup that leads to deep middlegame plans, rather than immediate tactical fireworks.Whether you're an ambitious club player or a seasoned tournament competitor, the Catalan gives you a strong foundation with plenty of room to outplay your opponent in a positional battle.
