In this thought-provoking, wide-ranging and often inspiring book, the authors examine how chess style and abilities vary with age. The conventional wisdom is that greater experience should compensate for a loss of youthful energy, but with so many of the world elite currently in their twenties, chess is increasingly looking like a young man’s game. By making a number of case studies and interviewing players who have stayed strong into their forties, fifties and beyond, the authors show in detail how players can steer their games towards positions where their experience can shine through. Interviews include: GMs John Nunn, Yasser Seirawan, Nigel Short, Judit Polgar, Keith Arkell, Pia Cramling, Jon Speelman, GM Sergei Tiviakov, and others. Accompanied by many annotated games and feagments. Indexes of openings, players and themes. Further information about the book and a sample are available at gambitbooks.com
