Book Notes
Many might consider the Nimzo-Larsen Attack
to be of only surprise value, but IM Ilya Odessky
believes it to be one of White’s more logical first
moves. In
Play 1.b3 he explains how White can undermine
the black center and steer towards an open battle.
On the DVD
Roman’s Lab, Volume 61: Art of Instant Attacks,
GM Larry Christiansen demonstrates how to create
instant violent attacks in your games. Larry
examines all the moves and motifs that effect the
enemy king’s position.
K vs. K
ChessCafe.com is pleased to bring you an
in-depth interview with Garry Kasparov about his

The Skittles Room. Also, don’t miss Stephen Ham’s
detailed
Book Review.
