Lev Alburt's Books

This is a detailed, comprehensive guide to learning how to play chess. Primarily intended to serve as a manual for those teaching chess in schools and colleges, and for parents teaching chess to their children, or themselves, the book is an ideal starting point for anyone, no matter what age, who wants to take up the sport.

Chess is a refreshing pastime for most players, and an all-encompassing obsession for a few. And yet much of chess literature—heavy on notation, low on useful illustrations, frustrating for the beginner—is directed at those already in the know. Knack Chess for Everyone provides an alternative: a clear, understandable, and fun entry into chess that doesn’t ignore the complexities and challenges. Photographs of actual game boards, often paired with a diagram, represent the perspective of the player looking at the pieces. The book clearly explains the rules of play and movement of pieces, and then gradually introduces various tactics and strategies.

Increase your skill and understanding of chess with the tactics that have produced unparalleled Russian grandmasters.

A complete, easy-to-use program for teaching and self-study of chess, in this series of books co-written by Roman Pelts and Lev Alburt, Grandmaster of Chess and three-time U.S. Chess Champion.

Don't get trounced by a machine--improve your chess skills and outwit your chess computer! Master tricks and tactics that exploit the computer's flaws-and help you beat people, too. You'll become adept at bewildering opponents with ruses, and increase your chess ability. Go move by move through a basic game, seeing openings you once might have missed, and proceed to middlegame strategy and to endgames no adversary (machine or otherwise) can predict.

Alekhine's Defence is one of the most provocative openings at the black's disposal, ideal for tournament players looking for exciting games. All the important variations are covered in this book which uses a variety of illustrative games to demonstrate the key concepts. Many of these games are from Alburt's own practice of the Alekhine, in which he is an experienced exponent. Lev Alburt is the current US Champion and Eric Schiller is a US Master and author of a number of books on this subject area.
