{"product_id":"modern-chess-from-steinitz-to-the-21st-century","title":"Modern Chess","description":"The revolutionary Wilhelm Steinitz\n(1836-1900) considered himself to be in the vanguard of an emerging, late-19th\ncentury ‘Modern’ school, which embraced a new, essentially scientific vitality\nin its methods of research, analysis, evaluation, planning, experiment and even\nbelligerent fight.\n\n\n\n\n\nSteinitz, who dominated the chess world in\nthe shadow of a more directly attacking, openly tactical and combinative,\nso-called ‘romantic’ age, established a much firmer positional basis to chess.\nA pivotal change!\n\n\n\n\n\nThis book follows that story, both before\nand beyond Steinitz’s early ‘modern’ era, focusing closely on the subtly varied\nways in which the world’s greatest players in the last two centuries have thought\nabout and played the game, moving it forward. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe author reflects on all sixteen ‘classical’\nworld champions and others, notably: C-L. M. de la Bourdonnais, Adolf Anderssen,\nPaul Morphy, Siegbert Tarrasch, Aron Nimzowitsch, Richard Réti, Judit Polgar and\nthe contemporary Artificial Intelligence phenomenon, AlphaZero.\n\n\n\n\n\nBe inspired by this exploration of the ‘modern’\ngame’s roots and trajectory!","brand":"Thinkers Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53987426926936,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789464201437.jpg?v=1765905339","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/modern-chess-from-steinitz-to-the-21st-century","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
