One of the most famous chess strategy classics, updated and revised with modern algebraic notation. In one of the most influential chess books written, readers will learn the most important strategy, tactics and themes that comprise a successful chess game: space, time, force and pawn structure. In a book that has been called the "bible for novice to intermediate players," Evans uses actual game examples to illustrate dozens of chess themes. Each is a mini-lesson that illustrates the fundamental concepts of modern chess theory, ones that can be learned in easy, quick sittings. Evans discusses space (mobility, the center, controlling unoccupied squares, stability.), time (development, gambits, pins, tactics), force (relative values, sacrifices), and pawn structure (passed, connected, isolated and backward pawns), showing players how to weave these concepts together for a stronger and winning chess game. Features 200 diagrams and, for the first time, chess notation in modern algebraic notation making the book accessible to a new generation of chess players who couldn't read the antiquated notation of the original.… (altro)
The book is titled “New Ideas in Chess”, but the concepts presented are timeless. After some preliminaries, Evans, himself an International Grandmaster, includes chapters on pawn structure, force, space, and time, the key aspects to a well-rounded game. The principles in each chapter are illustrated in general summaries as well as in examples taken from individual games from history. The titles on lessons (e.g. “Strike Pawn chains at their base”, “My kingdom for a Luft!”) are succinct and memorable – I still recall some of them decades after studying this book in the effort to become a better player. I got a lot out of it and only wish it would have included richer chapters on openings as well as the end game, which are also important. ( )

The life, the fortune, and the happiness of every one of us and, more or less, of those who are connected with us, do depend on our knowing the rules of a game infinitely more complicated than chess . . . The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But we also know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake or makes the slightest allowance for ignorance. To the man who plays well the highest stakes are paid, with that sort of overflowing generosity with which the strong show delight in strength. And the one who plays ill is checkmated without hate, but without remorse. -- Thomas Henry Huxley, 1887
