Countering The Queen's Gambit

A Compact (but Complete) Black Repertoire for Club Players against 1.d4

By: Michael Prusikin

The Queen’s Gambit is easily the most talked-about chess opening since the immensely popular Netflix TV series of the same name became a hit. The screen adventures of Beth Harmon have inspired thousands to start playing the Royal Game but didn’t offer any information on this highly popular chess opening. This book fills that gap. German Grandmaster Michael Prusikin presents a solid but dynamic opening repertoire for Black against the Queen’s Gambit. He wants you to understand rather than memorize what is important. His primary focus is on explaining the relevant pawn structures and the middlegame ideas behind the lines he recommends. Prusikin deals with every single variation of the Queen’s Gambit in a way that is highly accessible for club players but at the same time surprisingly effective and concise: the Catalan, Tartakower, Carlsbad, London, Colle, Veresov, and all the others. As a bonus, the FIDE Senior Trainer also provides responses to openings such as the Bird, Réti, and Nimzo-Larsen. It may seem unlikely, and yet it is true: in less than 200 pages, Countering the Queen’s Gambit has Black covered for really every first move except 1.e4! To test your newly acquired insights in the tactical motifs and strategic ideas of the Queen’s Gambit, you are invited to solve 36 exercises in carefully selected key positions from actual games.

Attacking Strategies for Club Players

How to Create a Deadly Attack on the Enemy King

By: Michael Prusikin

Attacking your opponent’s King is not just a short-cut to victory, it’s also one of the most enjoyable and gratifying experiences in chess. If you want to win more games you should become a better attacker. Studying typical attacking motifs and ideas easily brings dividends while you are having a good time. Michael Prusikin presents the prerequisites and the rules for a King attack in a lucid and attractive manner. In 15 thematic chapters he teaches you how to assess the nature of the position, identify the appropriate offensive patterns, find the preliminary moves and conduct your attack in a clear and effective way. Battering rams, pawn storms, deploying your pieces and striking the castled position, obstructive sacrifices, opening up the g-file by sacrificing a Knight on f5, Prusikin demonstrates the most important patterns of attack with lots of clear and well chosen examples. Prusikin next tests your newly acquired insights and your attacking intuition with exercises covering all the themes and motifs. You will find that studying Attacking Strategies for Club Players is both rewarding and entertaining.

Michael Kidner

By: Michael Kidner

To mark the occasion of Michael Kidner's 90th birthday, Flowers East staged a major retrospective exhibition, celebrating an enduring career and exceptional contribution to the arts. A pioneer of Optical Art, Kidner has devoted much of his career to developing work of a constructive nature. His interest in mathematics, science and the theories of chaos has determined an art that is both formal and playful. The curiosity of his mind is matched by his willingness to accept the unexpected outcome. Examples of work from all periods of his career, from the 1950s to the present, were included in the exhibition (these include After Image, Stripe/Moiree, Wave, Series, Column, Lattice, Elastic Fixed and Flexible Frame and Pentagon). The show comprised paintings, works on paper, sculpture and prints.
