Bobby Fischer tried to refute it in the early 1960s but a few years later he was playing it himself. David Bronstein and Boris Spassky are other leading players who have been attracted by the opening's complexities. This revised and algebraicized edition of a book first published in 1974 aims to provide a complete system for the enterprising tournament player. The material has been updated to include master praxis of the last decade and it should prove especially useful for players who defend 1 e4 with 1...e5. Grandmaster Viktor Korchnoi, twice challenger for the World Championship, is one of the most combative and uncompromising players ever. Vladimir Zak was trainer of both Spassky and Korchnoi and is regarded as an authority on the King's gambit.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49575235453201,"sku":"GOR006046005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713452897.jpg?v=1750944664"},{"product_id":"king-s-gambit-book-viktor-korchnoi-9780020220206","title":"King's Gambit","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhat My Mother Gave Me, \u003c\/i\u003e women look at the relationships between mothers and daughters through a new lens: a daughter's story of a gift from her mother that has touched her to the bone and served as a model, a metaphor, or a touchstone in her own life. The contributors of these thirty-one original pieces include Pulitzer Prize winners, perennial bestselling novelists, and celebrated broadcast journalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether a gift was meant to keep a daughter warm, put a roof over her head, instruct her in the ways of womanhood, encourage her talents, or just remind her of a mother's love, each story gets to the heart of a relationship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rita Dove remembers the box of nail polish that inspired her to paint her nails in the wild stripes and polka dots she wears to this day. Lisa See writes about the gift of writing from her mother, Carolyn See. Cecilia Mu oz remembers both the wok her mother gave her and a lifetime of home-cooked family meals. Judith Hillman Paterson revisits the year of sobriety her mother bequeathed to her when Paterson was nine, the year before her mother died of alcoholism. Abigail Pogrebin writes about her middle-aged bat mitzvah, for which her mother provided flowers after a lifetime of guilt for skipping her daughter's religious education. Margo Jefferson writes about her mother's gold dress from the posh department store where they could finally shop as black women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Collectively, the pieces have a force that feels as elemental as the tides: outpourings of lightness and darkness; joy and grief; mother love and daughter love; mother love and daughter rage. In these stirring words we find that every gift, ?no matter how modest, tells the story of a powerful bond. As Elizabeth Benedict points out in her introduction, whether we are mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, or cherished friends, we may not know for quite some time which presents will matter the most.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49876575289617,"sku":"CIN0020220200G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0020220200.jpg?v=1750939317"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-viktor-korchnoi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
