Title: How to Defend in Chess by Colin Crouch ISBN: 1-85744-250-4 Publisher: Everyman Chess Pub. Date: 01 May, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.33 (9 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Not the typical collection of games
Comment: The games here are very interesting. They are not the ones normally found in best-game collections. Only one of the 20 verbosely annotated games appears in the Mammoth Book of the World's Best Games (and only 3 of the lightly annotated supplemental games) and none are in Chernev's Twelve Best.
The reason for this is that these games contain subtle, high-level errors. The point is to watch the 2 great defensive players, Lasker and Petrosian, recover from their mistakes.
It is clearly a quality, well-written book, but I think you need to be at least 1700 to get much out of these games, though the annotations are full of verbal description. Defensive moves are just harder to understand than vicious attacks, and much less fun. Still, Crouch has produced another worthy addition to nearly any chess library.

Summary: Lasker and Petrosian
Comment: OK games and analysis. Twenty games analyzed in depth, and another 20 games added as a supplement help illustrate the relationship between attack and defence. Ive found an editorial error in this book- a duplicate diagram that appears unneccessary in one of the Fischer-Petrosian games, so this book no longer seems essential to me, though the concept is excellent.
Rating: 1
Summary: Title is misdescriptive
Comment: The title is misdescriptive; in fact the book is nothing more than 20 heavily annotated games by Petrosian and Lasker.
