What are the properties of each chess piece, and how can they be mobilized effectively to work together and get a strong position on the board? In his trademark humorous and kid-friendly way, Hertan teaches what you should actually be trying to achieve at the start of a game.

After studying this book, chess amateurs will find winning strategic maneuvers quicker and more often. They will not find them by accident or by relying on general principles, but because they have built up a large stockpile of highly practical ideas.

During the Second World War, Gligoric’s chess career was interrupted for four years when he joined Tito’s partisans. He was awarded four medals for bravery and rose to the rank of captain. In this book Svetozar Gligoric candidly tells about his childhood, his war experiences, his climb to the top in the chess world, his journalistic career, his travels, his friendship with Bobby Fischer and his work as a musical composer.
