Books published by publisher Bell and Sons LTD

`Planning, basic ideas and not sequences of moves (variations) are our main concern and have been studied at length within a small compass of openings.' In these words the authors describe the purpose of their present book. Further Chess Ideas is divided into three parts. The first deals with the opening and middle game-including detailed studies of the French, Sicilian and Nimzo-Indian defences. The second examines tactical ideas. The final part discusses the underlying principles required to handle the end game successfully. The book is lavishly illustrated with games and includes positions from actual play which the reader is asked to solve for himself and by which he can judge his own proficiency. In their highly successful Chess Ideas for Young Players, the authors wrote for the needs of the chess apprentice. In Further Chess Ideas they apply the same brilliant technique of lucid exposition to the needs of players, young or old, who have passed the apprentice stage and require a deeper insight into the finer points of the world's oldest game.
