Viktor Korchnoi is a chess legend. In a career which has spanned
over 60 years, he won countless grandmaster tournaments, was a
four-time Soviet Champion, a multi-time World Championship
Candidate, and twice fought for the World Championship in famous
battles with his adversary Anatoly Karpov. Throughout his career
Korchnoi continually refined his style and he was as comfortable in
defence as he was in attack. He was happy to provoke opponents,
accept sacrifices, defend precisely and then ruthlessly exploit
weaknesses. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus
Lakdawala studies his favourite Korchnoi games and examines
Korchnoi's skills in the key areas of attack and defence,
initiative, exploiting imbalances, accumulating advantages and
endgame play. He demonstrates clearly how we can all improve by
learning from Korchnoi's play. 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 chess legend *Important ideas
