In his usual flamboyant style, Alexander Shabalov explains how he battled in the many tournaments he played in his long career. How he prepared, how he picked the sharpest lines and how he created totally new ground and theory in chess. He also does not neglect the mental and physical factors a player needs to have. Anything that makes the chess warrior stronger and better, Alexander highlights using his own huge experience as a chess player and coach.
Four times US Champion Alexander Shabalov realized chess would be his profession after winning the Latvian junior championship at the age of 11.
Alexander is from Riga, the birthplace of the Latvian wizard and highly celebrated ex-World Champion Mikhail Tal. ‘Shaba’ and the famous Alexei Shirov, who also writes for Thinkers Publishing, had the luxury to work with Tal personally and both inherited his thrilling style. If you are watching the first board of an open tournament and the pieces are flying in all kind of directions, it’s a good bet that Shabalov is one of the players! Alexander is now a US citizen, residing in Pittsburgh.
