description: In the first two books of his celebrated Fire on Board series, Shirov traced his progress at the top of the chess world and presented a delightful selection of his most unforgettable games. Now, for the first time, 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 in his laboratory for many years because the openings in question have gone out of fashion. This book focuses on 1 e4 (open and semi-open games), while the next volume will cover all other openings. Fire on Board Part III also includes some previously unseen curiosities of Shirov’s chess life, analysis and games .*An insight into high-level opening analysis*A compilation of violent, attacking and imaginative chess*Written by one of the world’s leading players
