Every single game is fully annotated in a verbose style. Many books discuss how to attack in chess, but good, resourceful defensive play is also a vital ingredient in competitive success. However, this is an area largely neglected in the literature of the game. Very useful for all those d4 and QGD players out there - and well annotated. This is the first book to focus exclusively on the latest chess-related computer programs.
Several chapters review in detail the various types of software available.
Summery feature tables help you decide which software best matches your specific needs, and screenshots show the graphical interface for each program. Playing live chess over the Internet is also discussed. Grandmaster Chris Ward explains the important ideas behind every opening. He emphasises the need to understand the key elements of each opening rather simply memorise a series complicated variations. A thorough understanding of the middlegame is essential for any htmliring player wishing to improve their game.
