Language: English | 2008 | ISBN: 188869047X | 400 pages | PDF | 24,4 MB

This ensures that it will overflow with exceptionally complex analyses and exercises, which will be difficult for even the leading grandmasters to handle. But even amateur players will find something of interest in it. How can it not be interesting to peek - perhaps not as an owner, but at least as a guest - into the world of high-level chess, to see with one's own eyes what sort of problems chess "pros" have to wrestle with (successfully or not), and how far from being complete even their play is?

Disassembly Required: A Field Guide to Actually Existing Capitalism by Geoff Mann
Language: English | 2013 | ISBN: 1849351260 | 160 pages | PDF + EPUB | (1,2 + 0,5) MB
