Golombek fought tenaciously against this denigration of his art, for he considered chess an art form. The Grandmaster Emeritus always sought to explain the ideas behind the moves and give the strategic justification for any course of action. For this reason alone Golombek's chief openings manual, reprinted here, will outlive the ephemera which largely characterise rival efforts to explain the entire gamut of openings available to the ambitious player. Armed with Golombek you will understand what you are doing -not just become a performing monkey which apes the movements of the masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Golombek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843821338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843821335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardinge Simpole Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Harry Golombek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984385605887,"sku":"9781843821335","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9003dafe-bc45-456e-ba76-fa108d981e88.jpg?v=1683272010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-opening-chess-strategy-harry-golombek-9781843821335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
