Similar chess books to Kasparov's my great predecessors, which cover classics with commentary

ESP-918

I'm looking for books on classical games, similar to books by Kasparov my great predecessors, which covers classical games with commentary, history and modern analysis, which points out mistakes and how previous generations GM would play this or that and now GM would play something like that.

Do you know if I can find it in Russian?

I can only guess (that the books are not available in Russian). Maybe you could find out for sure by contacting Everyman Chess.

Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy

Read the original Alekhine, Euwe, Smyslov, and Tal books on their best games. They are fantastic in my humble opinion

ChessBookCollector

nah, that would be taking something away from the authors. Congratulating and praising others is more humble

I've just released that: https://www.amazon.com/Fine-Art-Chess-Lyudmil-Tsvetkov-ebook/dp/B07SPFTJSZ/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=fine+art+of+chess&qid=1559753101&s=books&sr=1-7

Most are classical games, featuring Capablanca, Alekhine, Lasker etc., as more instructive for beginner level, but contemporary masters, as well as comps are covered too.

Very comprehensive annotations, especially later in the book.

Very easy to follow, entertaining later on (probably after game 10 or so, the first are too easy, lol), and holding extensive supporting lines, verified with Stockfish, while the focus is on pattern recognition.

Took 8 months and 1700 hours to conceive and write ...

If anyone gives me feedback, would be extremely happy.

What could be wrong with the preview?

So what does 1700 hours get you?  A D Player?

Could be a reasonable estimate.

10,000 hours of training should get you the GM title.

Probably 5000 will lug you to around 2100 or so.

So for 1700 hours one could certainly become a 1600 player or so.

To reach 3000-3500 elos, one needs at least 20,000 hours of training, lo-oool.

Yup.

Chess is way too complex to fully understand.

Which is a boon, bearing in mind otherwise we'd be bored.

Has Chess.com membership shrinked?

Where are all people?

Lyudmil_Tsvetkov

What's growing?

The number of patzers?

Probably it's the summer time approaching.

Looking at different topics, they almost don't develop.

Last posted message 1 hour ago, 5 hours ago etc.

All folks are gone, barring a handful.

I was about to recommend Lyudmil books (as a joke, of course), but I am late

Well, not really...

Uhh, care to explain? I'm saying they're much better than me and I'm praising them (a lot of chess players are mysteriously nasty and miserable people who seem to just say lots of negative stuff -- you seem to be one of them I can tell. Must be lonely and not have much to do I suppose). Did you just comment to try to make a lame joke, then you realized it made you look sort of stupid and you hadn't thought it through, so now you reply and just say people are wrong but without saying why to save face? Seemed like a failed "gotcha" comment. You know, you don't have to be a dick and make lame jokes every time. You can try adding some value and saying something of worth besides just trying to be negative and making yourself look stupid

I do not think that this humble/not-humble thing was one of NM ghost_of_pushwood's better moments, but, somewhat to my surprise, I find that I enjoy a lot of the puffin stuff.

Does it accomplish much to accuse anyone of toxic positivity (or of a failure to be sufficiently humble)? If the idea was to disagree about "the original Alekhine, Euwe, Smyslov, and Tal books on their best games" being "fantastic", I suspect that, for most, that point has been lost somewhere over the last seven days.
