A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHESS SETS... Each of the sets include 32 pieces, with the exception of the Tournament Range, which comes with an extra queen in each colour. All sets are supplied in card boxes. The white pieces of all sets are made from boxwood. As natural materials vary in shade and grain, the set you receive may differ slightly in appearance. Ebony is a mature, robust wood which is black in colour. Striped Ebony has flecks of rich brown graining showing through the Ebony black. Rosewood is a reddish brown wood, with a pronounced grain. Sheesham is a very natural coloured wood, medium brown with some graining, although not as pronounced as Rosewood. Antiqued Brown or Black indicates that the pieces are made of boxwood, with the black chessmen being stained to achieve the desired effect. We also stock a range of boxes to store your pieces in - see page 8.

Chess Clocks

Traditional Chess Clocks Analogue clocks are the traditional method used to time chess matches and have remained more or less unchanged since their introduction over 120 years ago. With their combination of simplicity, accuracy and old-world charm it is easy to see why they remain popular with chess players around the globe. Batteries are not needed (except with the Master Quartz Timer) as analogue timers are powered by a wind-up mechanism! Pressing the button down on your side stops your clock and starts that of your opponent. A flag will fall at the exact moment a player’s time has expired. However, they are less accurate than digital timers and are unable to implement advanced time controls such as increment and time delay.

ECONOMY RANGE The ideal way to get your club up and running at the lowest cost. The timers are robust enough for use in schools.

MASTER QUARTZ TIMER ECONOMY PLASTIC TIMER £19.95 each £17.50 each if 5+ Wind-up mechanism. Dimensions: 16 x 8 x 4.5cm

£24.95 each £20 each if 5+ Uses 1 x AA battery (included). Perfect for schools as there will be no over-winding problems. Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.5 x 6.5cm

THE TURNIER RANGE

All our Turnier clocks have the same reliable precision mechanisms and come with a 1-year guarantee. Each clock is distinguished by its casing, varying from the durable Standard Turnier, to the elegant wooden clocks. Discounts are available when buying quantities of 5 or more. Dimensions: 15 x 8 x 3cm.

DARK WOOD TURNIER £59.95 each £54 each if 5+ Also available:

STANDARD TURNIER

BLUE TURNIER

BLACK TURNIER

£44.95 each £40 each if 5+

£44.95 each £40 each if 5+

£44.95 each £40 each if 5+

LIGHT WOOD TURNIER £59.95 each £54 each if 5+

Digital Chess Clocks

GARDE CLOCK £59.95 each £50 each if 5+ This is the finest analogue chess clock available. Its robust casing and reliable German mechanism have such a good reputation that it was used in the Kasparov - Short World Championship match in 1993. Dimensions: 22 x 12 x 6cm

If accuracy is what you need then look no further than our broad range of Digital Chess Timers. All our digital clocks are accurate to within a second per hour and with the most extensive selection in the UK we’re sure to have something to suit you. Digital chess clocks have the advantage over the traditional analogue clock as they are able to handle a wider range of time controls such as as time delay and increment. Digital clocks are perfect for serious matches at clubs and tournaments or for the casual game at home. However, they really show their worth in blitz games and time-scrambles, where knowing exactly how much time you have remaining can make all the difference! As they don’t function on a wind-up system like analogue clocks they need batteries, although a set of 2 AA batteries can last an incredible eight years (based on a usage of 4 hours per week).

Killer Endgames (DVD) - Nick Pert - £24.95 per volume £45 for Volumes 1 and 2 Running time: 5 hours per volume Chess players have a tendency to focus mainly on improving their opening play but one must not forget that many games are actually decided in the endgame. Ginger GM has released two new endgame DVDs that will enhance a player’s performance in this particular area of the game. Using his wealth of knowledge and expertise, Grandmaster Nick Pert presents a series of lessons, categorised according to rating, that are designed to familiarise players with endgame theory.

Killer c3 Sicilian (DVD) - Sam Collins - £19.95 Running time: 4.5 hours

Play Like Tal (DVD) - Simon Williams - £24.95 Running time: over 8 hours on 2 DVDs!

Over the years, the c3 Sicilian, otherwise known as the Alapin variation, has become increasingly popular not least because it avoids the reams of theory associated with Open Sicilians, but also because it offers White flexibility. Indeed, the positions that arise from this opening can be either tactical or positional and are therefore suitable for chess players of all styles and strengths. Follow International Master and former Irish Champion Sam Collins as he explains the fundamental principles and ideas behind this fascinating opening.

** THE FIRST EVER INTERACTIVE CHESS DVD ** Simon Williams presents some of Tal’s best games during which the viewer will be prompted at critical moments of the game to work out Tal’s next move – a first for any chess DVD! Packed full of key facts and historic photographs, the DVD is a must for any chess fan wishing to learn about one of the best tacticians of all time.

Back then fashion bowed to the safety-first style of reigning world champion, Karpov.

Part 2: Joining the Elite (113 mins) £19.95 By 1981, though still a tender 18 years of age, his ferocious talent demanded that he clear ever-higher hurdles.

At a time when the Soviet Union was wired with paranoia and the winds of political change were beginning to stir, the brash Kasparov manoeuvred to be in the right place at the right time to capitalise on the new climate. Part Four: Hitting the Wall (110 mins) £19.95 The shadows of political intrigue would threaten to do what no chess player could manage - to eliminate Garry from the hunt for the World title. And when the long awaited confrontation between Karpov and Kasparov arrived, it turned out to be the most remarkable and controversial match ever played. Part Five: Rite of Passage (89 mins) £19.95 On the eve of the most important game he would ever play, Kasparov sought the advice of legends Botvinnik and Tal.

Chess Software

NEW FRITZ 13 (RRP £44.95) £40!

Fritz 13 is now even stronger and faster than before, whilst retaining the same cool features – plus many enhancements – that have made it the most sought-after chess software for players of all strengths and abilities. Whether you are a beginner, club player or professional – Fritz has everything you could want including: automatically adjusting playing strength, coaching functions, explanation of positions, game analysis and a database of over 1.5 million games! Used by the world’s greatest players, including Garry Kasparov redesigned Fritz interface gives you instant access to all the most important functions. This means more comfort and clearer controls. Never before has it been so easy and fast to play with Fritz. “Let’s Check” is the revolutionary new feature of Fritz 13. With it users can join a worldwide community that will put together a giant knowledge base for chess. Whenever you analyse a position to any meaningful depth Fritz 13 will, if you allow it, send the main line and evaluation to a central server, to be shared by all participating users. Soon you will be able to find deep analysis to almost every position you look at – instantly, pre-generated by the finest engines in the world, running on the most powerful machines around. Gone are the days of waiting hours for Fritz to reach substantial enough depth in order to test an opening novelty. “Let’s Check” keeps updating the evaluations to any given position with newer, deeper analysis as it becomes available. Using powerful machines and the latest engines allows you to “conquer” positions, with your name attached to the newest, deepest analysis. You can also add comments to your analysis, which other users will see when they encounter the position. Even if you are not a great openings expert you can become one using “Let’s Check”. The entire body of modern openings theory is built into the system, and “Let’s Check” provides you instantly with the latest statistics of any position in the opening: how often it occurs, which moves were played and with what success. The openings book (LiveBook) is updated on a weekly basis and will show you which variations are currently topical and how good they are. Naturally Fritz 13 continues to offer chess players everything they need to study and train: professional board graphics, engine management, adjustable playing strength, coach functions, move explanation, automatic game analysis and commentary, training modules for openings, tactics and endgames, professional printing of games and diagrams, a database of 1.5 million games and hours of Fritz Media video samples. And the icing on the cake: six months free premium membership to the world’s largest chess server: Playchess.com. Premium Membership to Playchess enables you to listen to audio commentary during major events, receive live training, play in simultaneous exhibitions against top GMs, watch the TV ChessBase shows and play in leagues and tournaments.

RYBKA 4 (PC-DVD) £44.95 Rybka 4 is the world’s strongest chess program having won the 2008 World Computer Championship and leading all ranking lists by over 100 elo points, but strength is not everything! Today the main use of chess software is analysis and Rybka’s analysis features coupled with its awesome playing strength make it the number one choice for the serious chess player. Using an earlier version of the Fritz interface Rybka introduces several ground-breaking new analysis features: Monte Carlo Analysis yields precise evaluations by playing thousands of ultra-fast games in a few minutes from any given position. This is much like using game result statistics, something human players do when choosing their opening variations. Monte Carlo Analysis can be used in any position, but generally it's most useful in endgames and positions with sacrificial possibilities. Engines often give high scores to drawn endgames, Monte Carlo recognises fortresses and other no-progress situations, giving a much more accurate assessment of a position than other engines. It is also useful in positions where one side has made a material sacrifice for slow compensation (i.e. not just for combinative reasons). Sampled Search gives information about the search process, showing scores and alternative variations from the main line. This is helpful when the program searches for a long time in one position, allowing the user to see how the engine is thinking and making its decisions. Singular Moves are annotated graphically. This indicates situations where only one clearly best move exists. Look For Win is used whenever you feel that there should be a forced win in a position you can explicitly ask for it. Rybka then searches for a decisive move, considerably faster than in normal analysis. Persistent Hash Rybka can save its hash tables between analysis sessions to preserve valuable information already accumulated in the search tree.

DEEP RYBKA 4 £89.95 (PC-DVD) is the multiprocessor version of Rybka 4. The program will run on a PC which has multiple processors/multiple cores, harnessing the machine’s additional hardware to speed up the program’s chess calculation. Running on an Intel Core 2 duo system, Deep Rybka 4 will calculate at roughly twice the rate of a single-processor system. This is particularly useful when analysing a large numbers of positions, researching new moves in an opening variation, or analysing a single position in detail with a number of candidate moves. Deep Rybka is at least 50 points stronger than its single-processor counterpart running on the same hardware.

Fritz Powerbooks 2011(DVD) £44.95

Rybka Book (CD) £24.95

Endgame Turbo 3 (DVD) £44.95

Fritz Powerbooks can be used by both Fritz and Rybka and is designed to enhance their opening repertoire or to study opening lines from. Contains over 30 million opening positions, derived from over 1.5 million quality games. The source games are also included so you can see how the games continued from any position! Discover new lines to revamp your repertoire and then practice them against your Chess program.

The same format as the Powerbooks (see left), Rybka Book was developed to maximise Rybka’s playing strength. The choice of opening lines has been matched to the style of the program. The value of the book lies in its original analysis and move choices, which has led to a re-evaluation of certain lines in modern theory, all of which have never been published before.

Consists of 9 DVDs of endgame databases allowing your chess program to play all five-piece and most six-piece endgames perfectly. Likewise, it will handle endgames with more than six pieces much better since the program can access this endgame knowledge during its analysis. A must-have for correspondence players, endgame theoreticians and fans of engine matches.

Understanding Chess Middlegames John Nunn £15.99 Following on from his successful Understanding Chess Endgames, John Nunn turns his attention to the middlegame - the phase in chess where most games are decided, yet the one that has received the least systematic treatment from chess writers. With the outstanding clarity for which he is famous, Nunn breaks down the middglegame into 100 bitesized lessons. Each lesson features two inspiring examples from modern chess. Both sides' ideas are emphasised, so we get a clear picture of the ways to disrupt typical plans as well as how to form them. Understanding Chess Endgames

New York 1927 Alexander Alekhine £14.99 Alekhine's controversial masterpiece finally in English! For decades, Alekhine's account of the New York tournament was at the top of a list of chess books that had never been translated into English. Not only do you have one of the greatest annotators of all time rendering some brilliant analysis, but he melds it with an exceptional agenda, an antiCapablanca agenda. And since he wrote it after defeating Capablanca in their marathon match, he sounds like a sore loser who became a sore winner.

Endgame: Bobby Fischer's Remarkable Rise and Fall Frank Brady £17.99 Endgame is acclaimed biographer Frank Brady’s decades-in-the-making tracing of the meteoric ascent—and confounding descent—of enigmatic genius Bobby Fischer. Only Brady, who met Fischer when the prodigy was only 10 and shared with him some of his most dramatic triumphs, could have written this book, which has much to say about the nature of American celebrity and the distorting effects of fame. Drawing from Fischer family archives, recently released FBI files, and Bobby’s own emails, this account is unique in chronicling all of Fischer’s life and playing career.

Koltanowski Phoenix Attack The Future of the c3 Colle David Rudel £15.99 In his earlier book for Colle Players, The Moment of Zuke, David Rudel wrote that the main line of the c3Colle was a dead end for White. He proposed a new idea, meeting 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Nbd2 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Bd3 Bd6 7.O-O O-O with 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.b4!, a line he dubbed the Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack. Rudel promised to write a treatise on this new idea, and—two years later—he has delivered. This new title gives extensive coverage of all critical defenses.Yet its presentation allows a player to begin using the Koltanowski-Phoenix almost immediately. Magic!
