On Fischer – Spassky 1972 the title only tells part of the story – yes, there is in-depth study of the famous Reykjavik match, but Karolyi also covers the 1992 rematch. You can read an excerpt here.
Korchnoi and his Chess Grandchildren features 25 deeply annotated games from the latter stages of Korchnoi’s career. Numerous articles, photos and interviews also provide a vivid portrait of a spiky and lively character. You can read an excerpt here.
For July & August, we are continuing our free-fourth-book offer – if you buy three books or more and live in the normal European Union zone (as defined by UPS – for example, they exclude some islands and remote areas) we will send you an extra book free.

With three new books being published on May 18 this seems an ideal time to buy three or more books at the same time.

THE SECRET LIFE OF BAD BISHOPS
The newest episode of Perpetual Chess Podcast is out! Ben Johnson hosts Michael Adams and they talk about Think Like a Super GM and Mickey’s life as a top player for more than 3 decades! Enjoy here.
On May 18th we expect to publish three new books, from authors Mikhail Tal, Boris Gulko & Joel Sneed, and Gawain Jones. Excerpts are available for all three.
The Chess Alchemist by Mikhail Tal is a unique book containing 80 of Tal’s best games spanning four decades of his chess career, all annotated by the Magician himself. Normally at this point I explain who the author is, but… it’s Mikhail Tal – the celebrated World Champion whose writing was always entertaining.
Analyzing the Chess Mind by Gulko & Sneed delves into all aspects of chess psychology and offers practical advice for players of all levels, often using Gulko’s own games against elite players. An excerpt is available here.
The authors are ideally qualified for the topic: GM Boris Gulko is one of the few players to have a plus score against Garry Kasparov, and is also the only man to have been both Soviet and U.S. Champion. He also has a Master’s degree in Psychology from Moscow State University. Dr. Joel R. Sneed is a Professor of Psychology at the City University of New York.
King’s Indian 2 by Gawain Jones: the second and final part of a complete repertoire for Black by the world-class English GM. You would expect a King’s Indian repertoire to help the reader against 1.d4, but GM Gawain Jones went further – after reading his books you will also be ready for 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 and… everything except 1.e4.
Killer Chess Training has invited GM Gawain Jones on the 10th of March, at 20:00 UK time, (21:00 CET, 12:00 PST, 15:00 EST) to present his latest books on King’s Indian to the academy members. For those of you interested, there are 500 spots available, so fill in this form if you want to receive the link to the class!
