Product Description
A collection of annotated games from Purdy's previous publications. The first 25 games are world championship games. The next 25 are grandmasters in conflict while the last 50 are master-level combat from his friends Down Under.
If you have not read over games the Purdy has annotated, you are in for a wonderful treat. Who better to analyze games than the world's first correspondence chess champion?
Purdy’s self-annotations on his own games provide deep insight into his thoughts, plans and strategies, and explain everything crystal clearly. Unlike others, Purdy not only goes through his fine wins, but his losses too, and compliments his opponent when credit is due. He thoroughly examines positions in an easy to understand way, so everyone can see the master’s ideas.
Dr.Tykodi has carefully compiled and edited a collection of C.J.S.Purdy’s games, and as a result has created books with only the best. He has gone through all of Purdy’s articles, picked the most interesting games, and compiled them all into four books.
In addition to these games, Tykodi has included some articles to help improve the reader’s understanding of both basic and advanced ideas.
Instructive for almost any caliber player, from novice to expert, this book is a must have for not just people who have read any of the volumes, but for anyone interested in greatly improving their chess ability in an easy and constructive manner.
