{"product_id":"under-the-surface-jan-markos-9781784832636","title":"Under the Surface: Second Edition","description":"When Under the Surface was published in 2018, it won the ECF Book of the Year prize and was universally acclaimed for its originality and instructive value, with GM Peter Wells calling it \"a modern classic\" and GM Matthew Sadler praising the author's \"original ideas about all sorts of chess topics and a wonderfully witty and enthusiastic way of bringing them across.\" Seven years later, this new edition adds four new chapters along with various improvements to the original content. Author Jan Markos shows how a grandmaster perceives chess, presenting his concepts as vividly memorable metaphors such as Magnetic Skin, Karpov's Billiard Balls and many others which will come as revelations to even titled players. Rediscover the original Markos magic while adding The Hannibal Manoeuvre and other new concepts to your chess arsenal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Markos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784832634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784832636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quality Chess UK Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jan Markos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474463211775,"sku":"9781784832636","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f2fb52f-da5b-46fc-bb2e-578f682c7b12.jpg?v=1762316902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-surface-jan-markos-9781784832636","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
