Synopsis

The computer has changed the way top players think about chess. The silicon mind has no psychological barriers. It is willing to check moves that most humans, including top players, consider absurd and reject instantly. Thus this brave, new computer era inevitably leads to a reassessment of old axioms, principles and evaluations. In this book the reader will discover the incredible power unconventional moves can have. These moves contradict the most fundamental principles of the old chess , and yet most of them played by leading grandmasters. At first sight these moves look so strange that the reader can not avoid asking, Was this grandmaster was inspired or drunk? The answer will definitely surprise you.

Manella & Zeev Zohar are writing a very novel chess book. For us players, books such as this provide a good repository of games that can be analyzed time and again.

I wish the authors all the very best and look forward to enjoying the book and its entertaining analysis., Viswanathan Anand, World Champion 2007-2013
