"And the Rest Is Just a Matter of Technique..." How often has this comment been appended to a game move or variation? As many players know, it really may not be all that easy to figure out what is meant by this familiar phrase. After the untimely passing of legendary instructor Mark Dvoretsky, Artur Yusupov was given access to Dvoretsky's famous card files. With the core material based upon these files, the former top ten grandmaster - and perhaps the most successful of all of Dvoretsky's students - put together this book, modifying and refining the content as needed. The book begins with a "theoretical" explanatory section. This is followed by 102 practice positions, which increase in in difficulty. Good technique for gaining an advantage is useful in all areas of the game, so there are positions from the opening, middlegame, and especially the endgame - not only from practical games but also from various studies. The comments to the solutions are very detailed, explaining not only the main line but also the supplementary side variations. Yusupov thought it important to demonstrate the logic in the search for a decision and to show how a chessplayer can come to the right conclusions at the board. Dvoretsky's master student Artur Yusupov has done a great job in selecting and presenting the material so that this book "feels" like another genuine Dvoretsky work. This book is a real gem and I hope that it gives you as much pleasure as it has given me. And that from now on, when you have an advantage, the rest really will be, well, just a matter of technique... - From the Foreword by Grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller
"To a large extent, the level of any chessplayer's skill depends on his or her ability to discover and evaluate positional operations as quickly and correctly as possible. In this book, premier chess instructor and trainer Mark Dvoretsky examines one of the most important aspects of positional skill, namely the art of playing with pieces, of maneuvering and finding the best squares for your pieces. Training your maneuvering skills will help you at every stage of the game -- which is why among the exercises there are opening, middlegame and endgame positions, and not only those that are taken from practical games, but also studies. The conscientious student, carefully working his or her way through this book, will help improve positional mastery and significantly enhance overall playing skill."--
The Second Edition of Another Dvoretsky Classic! It is very important for the practical player to train his or her ability, understand when to rely on intuition, rules of thumb and more general positional considerations, when to try to solve problems by calculating variations to the end and how to manage time to avoid time pressure. With these goals in mind, the second edition of Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual delivers excellent, high quality training materials and many exercises. Here what critics had to say about the First Edition: "Very good stuff! ... There is a shocking amount of rich material in this book ... Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual is a magnificent piece of work ... It gets my highest recommendation for those 2200 and above." -- From Jeremy Silman's review at JeremySilman.com "Established Dvoretsky fans will definitely enjoy this volume; it might even be his best to date." -- From the review by Sean Marsh at MarshTowers.com. "Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual's high-octane, excellent instructional material is nicely enhanced by the author's erudition and wit ... A true gem!" Grandmaster Lev Alburt

The Mark of a Master Mark Dvoretsky has long been considered one of the premier chess coaches and trainers in the world. He is renowned for taking talented masters and forging them into world-class grandmasters and champions. His literary achievements are also quite distinguished. For example, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, soon to be released in a fourth edition, established itself as the sine qua non of endgame theory from the moment it appeared over a decade ago. This accomplished chess instructor and author now shares his story in a ground-breaking two-volume set. You are invited to share his journey from his childhood and maturing into a strong master, to his participation in the powerful Soviet championships and then, his transition to full-time chess coach. Along the way, Dvoretsky pulls no punches with his commentary and insights about the all-encompassing Soviet chess machine, top-flight grandmasters, and his trials and tribulations as he helped develop "average" masters into world-class players.
"Success is a collection of problems solved." - I.M. Pei, Architect In this, his penultimate work, legendary chess instructor Mark Dvoretsky (1947-2016) explores identifying and dealing with problems on the chessboard. "While working on the games that I have included in this book, I have sought to uncover their core ideas which are important for a chessplayer's improvement and demonstrate them as vividly as possible. Those may include both approaches to playing out certain typical situations and mastering various positional and tactical ideas, as well as improving technical skills and training an ability to search for decisions and to make them on the basis of the precise calculation of variations. "The last two parts of the book are devoted to the specific forms of training that I routinely use during my lessons: analysis of games in the form of solving a string of consecutive tasks and playing out of certain specially selected positions. "I hope that this book will be of help not only to high-ranking players at whom it is primarily aimed, but also to every reader who is serious about self-improvement and wishes to understand problems that grandmasters and masters face over the board and the ways they solve them; what are the reasons for errors they sometimes commit and how to avoid those mistakes." - Mark Dvoretsky, from his Foreword
The Journey Continues! Mark Dvoretsky has long been considered one of the premier chess coaches and trainers in the world. He is renowned for taking talented masters and forging them into world-class grandmasters and champions. His literary achievements are also quite distinguished. For example, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, now in its fourth edition, established itself as the sine qua non of endgame theory from the moment it appeared over a decade ago. In this second volume of his highly-acclaimed autobiographical work, the author focuses on his early development as a player, issues which challenge chess coaches, as well as varied topics related to improving one's play. Whether you are a player, coach, fan or passionate aficionado, you will find this second volume as enjoyable and enlightening as the first. Here's what the critics had to say about Volume 1: "[Volume 1 is]an insightful glimpse into the mind of one of the strongest coaches in any sport ever to walk the face of the earth. I can't recommend this book highly enough, especially for students of chess history." -- Chris Wainscott, ChessIQ.com
The FastTrack to Endgame Expertise! Since it first appeared in 2003, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual has been acclaimed as the best single volume ever written on the endgame. With staggering depth and accuracy, it clearly reveals the secrets of this most important stage of the game. One of the unique characteristics of the Endgame Manual has been the highlighting of text considered to be essential to the understanding of endgame theory. The late, great trainer Mark Dvoretsky carefully selected the text to be highlighted so that players at all levels could benefit from this monumental work. Now in its fifth edition, the 440-page manual may seem somewhat intimidating to some readers. With that in mind, German grandmaster Karsten Müller and American grandmaster Alex Fishbein - both recognized endgame experts in their own right - have collected the highlighted text from the fifth edition and presented it so that the core concepts might be more readily available. The result is Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition. As noted by Australian grandmaster Ian Rogers in his foreword: I am very pleased that Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition has come along. It is eminently suitable to sit in an amateur player's library as their only endgame book, and equally good at preparing a serious student for many other fine endgame books - not forgetting of course the storied father of this volume, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual.If you are serious about studying endgames, have a limited amount of time, or are simply looking for a convenient way to improve your play in endgames, the FastTrack Edition may just be the book you have been looking for.
