A Compendium of Double Dummy Problems
Almost 1000 double dummy problems, ranging from 'very easy' to 'fiendishly difficult', collected by the acknowledged expert in the field. Double dummy problems are to bridge players what chess problems are to lovers of that game: exercises in ingenuity, unexpected manoeuvres, art and beauty. Some of the problems in this book were created before bridge - they come from its precursor, whist, but the principles are the same. The problems used in these exercises come from composers around the world, including over 100 by Darwen himself. Any puzzle fan will find hundreds of hours of entertainment in these pages.

Mastering Chess Logic
What exactly makes the greatest players of all time, such as Magnus Carlsen, Bobby Fischer, and Garry Kasparov stand out from the rest? The basic aspects of chess (calculation, study of opening theory, and technical endgame ability) are of course of great importance. However, the more mysterious part of chess ability lies within the thought process. In particular: - How does one evaluate certain moves to be better than others?- How does one improve their feel of the game? This book will tackle this woefully underexplored aspect of chess: the logic behind the game. It will explain how chess works at a fundamental level. Topics include: - What to think about when evaluating a position.- How to formulate and execute plans.- How to generate and make use of the initiative. The reader also has plenty of opportunities to test their decision-making by attempting 270 practical exercises. These are mostly designed to develop understanding, as the justification of the moves is more important than the actual correct answer.
Nepomniachtchi - Move by Move
Ian Nepomniachtchi, challenger to Magnus Carlsen's World Championship title in 2021, is an outstanding chess talent. "Nepo" as he is universally known is a fascinating player and this book assesses his career and analyses his original and creative style in great depth with numerous deeply annotated games.Nepo is one of the very few players in the world to hold (at least prior to the match) a plus score (four wins to one with six draws) against Carlsen in classical chess. Nepo and Carlsen are peers and first started playing each other in the Under-12 category of the World Youth Championship in 2002. In that event, Nepo edged out Carlsen on tie-break. At that time he out-rated Carlsen by 100 points and was generally considered to be the more promising of the two prodigies.Nepo is a fascinating player who loves open and irrational positions and excels when on the attack. Unsurprisingly, he cites Mikhail Tal as his all-time favorite player and says Tal is the player who has exerted the greatest influence on him. As with that great Latvian genius, Nepo thrives on anarchy and chaos and has frequently got the better of Carlsen in games with mind-boggling complications. He is also lethal when he has the initiative.Nepo has steadily climbed the world rankings and his finest achievement was his victory in the 2020/2021 Candidates' tournament with 81/2/14 points (+5-2=7) which gave him the right to challenge Carlsen for the world title. Cyrus Lakdawala is an International Master, a former National Open and American Open Champion, and a six-time State Champion. He has been teaching chess for over 40 years, and coaches some of the top junior players in the U.S.

FIFA Football
EA's most beautiful game - the FIFA series - has proved a global success. It has sold a record-breaking number of copies, garnered numerous plaudits and awards, and established itself as the leading sports title on the market.But it almost never was.Back in 1993, when the Premier League was still in its infancy, the Champions League a new-fangled term, and Lionel Messi had just started to kick a ball, EA Sports took a punt on the FIFA license for their first 'soccer' game.But, with the World Cup rights secured by a rival ahead of USA 94, bigwigs at the Canada-based firm started to fret that FIFA International Soccer would flop, and almost pulled the plug on what would become a seminal release.Instead, the game confounded all expectations and - despite being released in December - became the best-selling game of the year. EA had unwittingly stumbled upon a diamond.In FIFA Football, author Lee Price explores the history of the series including its gameplay and unique isometric camera angle, the battle with Pro Evolution Soccer for gaming supremacy, and the hi-tech software used to put together FIFA 16 - a release which includes women's teams for the first time. It's a series which continues to innovate and exhilarate.The book includes exclusive contributions from key figures in the FIFA story as well as behind-the-scenes insights from EA's HQ in Vancouver. It also details the futuristic head-scanning process that captures the players you love, the world of FUT, YouTubers, competitive gaming, soundtracks, FIFA's spinoffs, and so much more.This is the definitive story of the FIFA video game.

The Inner Game
'A wonderful achievement... so tense, so gripping and so readable' STEPHEN FRY'A remarkable book - The Inner Game has all the compulsion of a good thriller' ROBERT HARRIS***The 1993 World Chess Championship was one of the most eagerly anticipated clashes in the game's rich history.On one side was Garri Kasparov, the greatest in a long line of Russian World Champions and a player whose remorseless aggression both in play and in person seemed to terrify his opponents.Across the board was Nigel Short, a bespectacled, guitar-playing 28-year-old Lancastrian who had earned his place in the contest over a gruelling three-year qualification campaign.Their epic duel of the intellect was fought out in the full glare of the world's media and the intricacies of the battle captivated observers around the world - chess experts and novices alike.The Inner Game is an intimate and gripping insider's account of this unique sporting contest. It reveals the secrets of chess at the highest level, from dirty tricks behind the scenes to bugged conversations, stolen tapes and sexual intrigue, and opens up the strange inner world of the Chess Grandmasters, men of a narrow but all-consuming passion.***'Gripping narrative... absorbing between-the-synapses account of an epic drama to which (Lawson) had unique access' Sunday Times'Brilliantly written' Guardian'Perhaps the most intimate portrait of a chess genius ever written' ROBERT HARRIS'Lawson creates great drama out of his material... the tension is brilliantly sustained. And no, you don't have to be a chess expert or even to have played the game at all to enjoy this book' Independent on Sunday'A riveting narrative' Observer'Immensely readable... The characters come through very precisely' Daily Telegraph

This books contains tips and advice that I have picked up over the years that I have incorporated into my own play. Some of these may be new to you, some you may accept as obvious truths. Each of these work for me, and I have included examples of either the tip in use, or how I came about incorporating the advice into my own play. I share lots of examples of my own playing to illustrate each tip. This book grew out of a run of blog articles I ran in 2021, and that grew out of a video series I posted on YouTube, and the comments I recieved from my solo community.

Get ready for charades like you've never played it before. You can play Pop Freak! with as many people as you can find. Divide yourselves into teams then randomly pull out about 40 cards (more for a longer game, fewer for a quick one) - but no peeking! Set the cards in a pile in the middle. This is the playing deck. Each game has three rounds. Teams take 60 second turns to collect as many cards as they can by correctly guessing exactly what's written on each of them. One person in the team does the talking (or not talking) to the rest of the team, who do the guessing. For every correct guess, your team gets to keep the card. A round is over when there are no cards left in the playing deck. Tally the scores and shuffle all the cards back together for the next round. The winning team is the one who has accumulated the most cards over the three rounds. Round 1You can say anything you want besides the words or phrases on the card. If you say any of these, the card is returned randomly to the playing deck, and you lose five seconds from that turn. There's no skipping of cards that you get stuck on. Sorry. And no spelling out words or rhyming! Round 2The same as round one, but you can only say one word. Use it wisely. Round 3No words or sounds.
Miguel Najdorf - 'el Viejo' - Life, Games and Stories
I was lucky enough to play against six world champions and several top players in my modest chess career, but the greatest player I feel privileged to have known, to have spent time with him, was Miguel Najdorf, "El Viejo". This is a chess book, with 275 commented games, it covers all his chess career, but it has also many stories. Najdorf was the most important Argentinean chess player, and he was an exceptional person. Oscar Panno said that Najdorf reminded him of Don Quixote, in the part of the book where he tells Sancho Panza, "Wherever I am, that is where the head of the table is going to be". He successfully overcame the most terrible setbacks, as few are capable of doing. Writing about Miguel Najdorf is one of my greatest pleasures as a chess journalist and writer!

Defensive Signals
Regarded as one of the best ever written on the topic of signaling, this book will help you defend better regardless of your experience or skill level. It explains several ways to describe your holding which are commonly used by experts but not generally known. It compares new methods with old, including the pros and cons of upside-down versus standard signaling. It explains how to draw inferences, not only from partner's signals, but also from what he fails to do. Even if you are an expert and think there is nothing about defensive signals you don't already know, you will probably see a few situations you haven't thought about and discover how other experts handle them.Originally published in 1995, this book has been unavailable for more than 20 years.
