It's a multi-year effort by GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko and his world-renowned trainer IM Vladimir Grabinsky to introduce you to the world of "unnatural" tactical moves. Presenting examples of extreme beauty, no matter where they come from - be it online bullet or world-class grandmaster praxis - this book will cure your "selective blindness" by destroying the false notion of chess principles being a set of rules, instead of helpful guidelines.

Codename Revolution
Nintendo's hugely popular and influential video game console system considered as technological device and social phenomenon. The Nintendo Wii, introduced in 2006, helped usher in a moment of retro-reinvention in video game play. This hugely popular console system, codenamed Revolution during development, signaled a turn away from fully immersive, time-consuming MMORPGs or forty-hour FPS games and back toward family fun in the living room. Players using the wireless motion-sensitive controller (the Wii Remote, or "Wiimote") play with their whole bodies, waving, swinging, swaying. The mimetic interface shifts attention from what's on the screen to what's happening in physical space. This book describes the Wii's impact in technological, social, and cultural terms, examining the Wii as a system of interrelated hardware and software that was consciously designed to promote social play in physical space. Each chapter of Codename Revolution focuses on a major component of the Wii as a platform: the console itself, designed to be low-powered and nimble; the iconic Wii Remote; Wii Fit Plus, and its controller, the Wii Balance Board; the Wii Channels interface and Nintendo's distribution system; and the Wii as a social platform that not only affords multiplayer options but also encourages social interaction in shared physical space. Finally, the authors connect the Wii's revolution in mimetic interface gaming--which eventually led to the release of Sony's Move and Microsoft's Kinect--to some of the economic and technological conditions that influence the possibility of making something new in this arena of computing and culture.

Four Suit Dungeon Delve
Lucky Diamonds, jack of all trades, stood outside the doors of the Red Wyvern with two others - the first Myndara, an enchantress of the Black - not black sorcery but the color black; as well as Griff, a knight of the Old Ways in gleaming steel plate. Soon they would start their quest - to rescue the four daughters of Good King Redthorne - stolen by Malkrit, the Evil Sorcerer, and twin brother to the King, but they needed to hire a few fighters first, which is why they were outside the inn. They soon found three adequate fighters and the six of them left town, en-route to whatever fate had in store for them. Four Suit Dungeon Delve is an attempt to play the classic dungeon adventure with a deck of playing cards. No dice are used in the game. Once the basic rules are learned, a game takes about 10 minutes. Your party of six must defeat foul monsters, dodge fiendish traps and the powers of Darkness itself in order to rescue the king's lovely daughters. The four young ladies (the four Queen cards) were stolen by the evil sorcerer and are imprisoned somewhere in his lair. If the party finds all four, they gain the reward of some additional luck, but they must make their way to the exit and escape. The game is played until the deck runs out. If at least one of your party survives the adventure, the game is won. The princesses can't be harmed while in your delvers' care, unless they fail in their quest. If so, the unfortunate girls are recaptured by the monsters that serve the evil sorcerer and the king will need to send another party to save them. Rules are included for parties ranging in size from 1 to 12, as well as several scenarios including Double Decker Delving and The Quest to Save the World. Other sections include Expanded Characters, Expanded Monsters as well as an optional rule you will probably need to use - Fleeing from Monsters. To play, you will need a deck of playing cards with jokers and a piece of paper to keep track of party strength values.
The Ruins Near Town
"Near every village there are ruins to explore." -Dwarf Prospector Proverb The Ruins Near Town is a fantasy role-playing game, designed for solo play, wherein your party of bold adventurers explores monster-infested ruins, dark dungeons, ancient dwarf realms and spider-haunted crypts, where horrid monsters roam and fiendish traps snare the unwary, where coffers of riches lie waiting. It is a world where knight, cleric, rogue and hireling; slayer, enchantress and leprechaun; jester, elf and dwarf join forces to explore dungeons and travel the land on a quest for fame and fortune. The goal of play is to have fun, slay some monsters, find some treasure and earn ten Legend Points. As the party recovers certain artifacts, slays certain monsters and travels the land performing certain deeds that the villagers deem to be good, the party's legend grows. If they perform enough noble or noteworthy deeds, bards start to sing of their deeds in the taverns of the land. If the party gains 10 Legend Points, they retire from adventuring and take up farming or maybe move to a large city and open a shop or something. Game play is centered around an extensive number of encounter tables. Once the party enters a dungeon, d66 rolls are made on the Dungeon Room Table - the central "hub" dungeon encounter table. From there, you will often be sent to one table or another until the encounter is concluded. There are 35 dungeon tables in all. Your party of adventurers is created with a standard deck of playing cards. The party's gear is also determined by card draws. If not playing a one-shot dungeon delve, there are expanded rules for traveling the land to find more ruins to explore, attracting more characters to your party as well as equipment costs when you find some gold. The rules are simple enough to allow you to play an entire party of characters solo. Monster encounters scale in difficulty according to party strength; combat is boiled down to a single d6 roll per side (the stronger side adds 1 to its roll); keeping track of lost party strength (the main attribute) is a snap given the game's combined strength rules, while delver action rolls are resolved with d6's as well. To play, you will need a pencil, a pad of paper for your expedition record, a standard deck of playing cards with two jokers, 6 and 10-sided dice.

The Chess Revolution
One of the world's top chess journalists in the world explores why, after 1,500 years of existence, chess has never been more relevant than now. Chess is not just one of the greatest games ever devised. It has inspired writers, painters, and filmmakers, and was a secret mover behind technical revolutions like artificial intelligence that are transforming society.

The Real Paul Morphy
Paul Morphy might well be the most brilliant and enigmatic chess champion of all time. He burst onto the scene in 1858 as a 20-year-old and dominated the chess world for two short years, convincingly defeating all the strongest players. After conquering the European chess scene, Morphy was universally recognized as the greatest player of all time. But at the age of 22 he suddenly and permanently retired from serious competition. Morphy's greatness shone so brightly that 75 years later he was still considered the greatest by world champions Lasker and Capablanca. He is still revered for his brilliant combinations and other contributions to chess. Bobby Fischer called him 'perhaps the most accurate player who ever lived'. Garry Kasparov regarded him as 'the prototype of the strong 20th century grandmaster' and 'the forefather of modern chess'.There are many important biographies and game collections about Morphy. Award-winning chess author Charles Hertan brings us something new - a comprehensive modern biography that delves deep into his fascinating history, unearthing new information about Morphy's origins, intertwined with an in-depth exploration of Morphy's games, often overturning over 160 years of previous analysis. Hertan uses his experience as a professional psychotherapist to shed new light on Morphy's tragic mental deterioration. The author also examines the state of chess before Morphy, wading into the current debate about the role of the great masters Howard Staunton and Adolf Anderssen in chess history, and whether Morphy's time should rightly be called the 'Romantic Era'. The Real Paul Morphy brings you everything you need to know about Paul Morphy's life, chess and legacy in a single volume.
