Fire on Board : Openings Secrets Pt. III Paperback

Alexei Shirov has dazzled and inspired a generation of chess fans with his unique brand of attacking chess.

The Grandmaster, originally from Riga, Latvia, is widely regarded as one of the most aggressive and inventive chess players of the modern era, an argument backed up by his wealth of amazing games, rich in tactical fireworks and extraordinary moves.

In this book, the third volume of his trilogy, Shirov discloses the secrets of his high-level opening preparation in this computer dominated era and the stories behind his most famous opening novelties.

Some of these discoveries from his 'private laboratory' have seen the light in vital over-the-board encounters, while others have remained hidden for many years because the openings in question have gone out of fashion.

Fire on Board Part III also includes some previously unseen curiosities of Shirov's chess life, analysis and games.

Giving an insight into high-level opening analysis, this is a compilation of violent, attacking and imaginative chess.

It is written by one of the world's leading players.
