Laugh And Learn.......2007-07-20
I enjoyed this book. It is quirky, funny, and yet highly informative. I wouldn't call these "grandmaster secrets" but things that average players need to know. I don't think you can find this sort of advise anywhere else. I have the endgame book, too, and like it for the same reasons. The style won't appeal to everybody, obviously, but I got a big kick out of it and maybe you will too. But the main point is that it improved my chess.
Book Description

Profuse illustrations and games allow everyone to grasp the concepts quicker, so you will improve in a shorter amount of time. Charts, graphics, and annotated examples in algebraic notation will add to your reading pleasure.

Probably the best book for the average player.......2005-12-22
Well, I don't normally write reviews, but given the quality of some of the earlier reviews, I feel compelled to speak up. I am a reasonably strong player (USCF 2200 years ago, today FIDE 2100) and know a little bit about chess theory, having trained several junior players over the years. I have bought hundreds of chess books and I know what it takes to improve.
The key to improving in chess is to learn the basic principles and then study typical positions which exemplify those principles. The study of master games is the best way to do this and there are no strong players who have not made a study of many master games.
The problem with the endgame is that there are few good books on the subject. Part of the problem is that, unlike the early middlegame, the endgame cannot be easily categorized into specific pawn structures. Most books deal with very basic endgames such as rook and pawn against rook. Perhaps you will play some of these endgames every now and then, but most players need to know how to play more complex positions. This book does an excellent job and, in my opinion, accomplishes the task of teaching this aspect better than almost any other book. A series of basic principles are laid down: 1) when to exchange and what to exchange 2) the two on one 3) strategic thinking etc etc and examples are shown.
This book would suit players up to about USCF 2000, ELO 1900 etc. (yes, even the more experienced can benefit from this book). By all means read a book on basic endgames (I like Albert's book "Just the Facts") but have a look at this book. The endgame demands serious study by all players who aspire to a rating of 2200 or above. Shereshevky's book "Endgame Strategy" is good too, but this book is better for the average player. In fact, there is some overlap (at least conceptually) between the Shereshevsky book and this one, but this one is a more entertaining read!).
Yes, in reply to one reviewer, the format is a little cute. But it seems to work (at least it does for me, and I am quite critical). It certainly isn't dry. Perhaps, in my dotage, I need to be entertained as well as informed.
Everyone should have a copy of this book. Andy Soltis continues to produce great books. This is one of his best.
Really Good Read on a critical subject.......2004-05-27
This book is really good at teaching the most critical aspects of the endgame. It is probably suitable for players up to around 1800 USCF.
Beyond that rating level, something more like Shereshevkys' series would be more appropriate.
Don't be put off by the single reviewer who signed on and left 3 reviews (two from Australia, one from new York) with 1 star. He clearly has some sort of ax to grind.
This book is very good, and worth getting.
Amazon.com needs to do a better job at eliminating multiple reviews from the same person.
What Secrets?.......2003-07-26
It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the great reviews about it on this website were written by the author himself. The book is absolute RUBBISH.
I have never read a book with so little genuine chess content. The vast majority of the book consists of stupid (and annoying) discussion between the author, and a pupil concerning endgame principles. The trouble is, the discussion is so general and basic as to be meaningless. It only offers basic principles such as "keep your rook active", with little to no practical examples.
The book fails to cover numerous key endgame topics, such as pawn structures, pawn breakthroughs, entry squares for the king.
The title is completely misleading. The book is limited to basic concepts, which even then, are poorly explained, with very little supporting analysis or examples. The depth of analysis is truly pathetic - frequently no more than one or two lines of play, looking ahead 3-4 moves. If only endgames were this simple.
DON'T BUY THIS BOOK.
What Secrets?.......2003-07-25
Having read all the great reviews about this book, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that they were written by the author himself. This book is DREADFUL.
Contrary to the title, it contains no secrets whatsoever. Rather, it states no more than obvious principles that any half decent player knows. What's more, it is full of general statements, lacking in concrete examples. Further, numerous key topics are not covered at all; eg pawn break throughs; penetration squares for the King.
The book contains extremely little analysis. On numerous occasions, it says something like: "If White plays this move, he should draw" without offering any supporting analysis whatsoever.
Making it even worse is the endless discussion between the author and pupil. I suspect this was put it to compensate for the lack of genuine chess content. Take out the endless dialogue bewteeen author and pupil and the book would only be around 20 pages.
Don't buy this book.
Don't waste your money.......2003-07-24
This book has to be the worst chess book of all time. 75% of the content consists of inane discussion between the author and a fictious pupil, containing no insight or relevance to chess whatsoever.
The analysis of positions is extremely scant; typically one or two lines of play only, looking ahead just four moves.
A more appropriate title for the book would be "Secrets for Players Rated Below 1200". For example, the book contains such wonderful insights as "Passed pawns increase in value as they progress further down the board" - hardly the insight of a grandmaster.
Don't waste your money.
Product Description
Chess Explained is a new series of books about chess openings. They are not theoretical works in the traditional sense, but more a series of lessons from a chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience with an opening. You will gain an understanding of the opening and the middlegames to which it leads, enabling you to find the right moves and plans in your own games. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have.
The Caro-Kann is one of the most popular responses to 1 e4. Black stakes a claim to the central squares and seeks free development for all his pieces. While solid, it is by no means a drawing weapon the resulting positions generally contain at least a degree of imbalance and the critical lines lead to sharp positions with chances for both sides. Many new approaches for both sides have been developed in recent years, and a good understanding of these ideas is vital for anyone looking to handle either side of the Caro with success.

No es lo que esperaba........2005-11-30
Fue el primer libro de ajedrez que compré(despues de oir que los finales eran primero) y el libro me descepcionó, la información es deficiente, los diagramas no estan en la pagina que se necesita (a veces tienes que adelantarte 2 paginas para ver el diagrama del que hablan); los analisis son malos siempre con una sola variante, maximo 2 (como si fuera tan facil), hay veces en que el "maestro" dice "el blanco debe ganar aqui con.." pero no se justifica con ningun analisis; tambien esta lleno de caricaturas sobre los jugadores que son de muy mal gusto; y lo peor no hay nada de secretos todo el tiempo es una aburrida conversacion, que no te enseña la tecnica para saber jugar los finales; el libro en español se llama "Finales de ajedrez" cuando leí el título en inglés, me moria de la risa...
En conclusión, no gasten su dinero en este libro, que al final de cuentas no les deja nada.

In-depth analysis of 24 fighting games by John Nunn.......2004-12-08
This is a thoroughly revised update of the 1985 collaboration between John Nunn and PC Griffiths. It analyzes 24 games played between 1974 and 1985, in which Nunn took on and beat some chess giants including the Soviet grandmasters Polugaevsky, Vaganian, Korchnoy and Tal. The Polugaevsky game, played at Skara, Sweden in 1980, saw Nunn tear his opponent to shreds in just 32 moves - with the Black pieces, no less! The author describes this Bobby Fischer-like exploit as "a veritable witches' cauldron of tactics", and gives extensive notes showing the various possibilities at each move.
Nunn is one of the world's best annotators, thanks to his excellent calculating ability and merciless quest for objectivity. There is much to be learned from this book and "John Nunn's Best Games", which takes up the tale in 1985.
Very strong effort.......2000-05-22
I have both 'Secrets of Grandmaster Chess' and the earlier 'Secrets of Grandmaster Play' that Nunn co-authored with Griffiths. SGC has about 120 pages more than SGP. Much of this difference is spent in narrating Nunn's autobiographical and tournament details, which is itself quite readable. Some extra games and snippets of games are also given. Some of the analysis has been corrected and amplified, on the basis of flaws found by Dvoretsky and Yusupov, and also by checking the analysis using Fritz4. The book has been designed as a prequel to 'John Nunn's Best Games'. It is a more professional effort than SGP. However, it has to be said that SGP has a more pedagogic slant, and is more likely to be useful to the bumbling club player trying to improve his play (i.e. myself). This is because of the input of Griffiths, a worthy chess pedagogue whose every book I've bought.
But coming back to SGC. This book can be unequivocally recommended as a top-flight book. These are the games and notes of a strong, modern Grandmaster who plays mainline openings, and has a preference for complex, tactical chess. Nunn has to be considered the strongest, most professional chess writer currently around.
The book is most likely to be useful to players who are rated at least 1800 or 1900. The earlier SGP could be used with profit by players at least 1700, or perhaps even 1600.
A must have book for the diligent player.......2000-04-03
I thought my opinion on this book, although favorable, would not change. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and quality the changes that were made from the earlier edition. I feel that chess books ideally should have the following characteristics; honesty, quality anotations, good explanations in prose, usefull topics and a well thought out layout. This book has all of these qualities and more. This book is most useful for those player who already study a lot and love to study. What John Nunn gives you is how Grandmasters look at positions and the amount they calculate before making their moves. It takes an ambious and diligent player to go over even one game. This book is very rare indeed.
My Best Chessbook.......2000-02-11
I understand that this is a book for the more serious player. Nevertheless, I (being a 1500-1600 player) enjoys it very much and, at least imagines, that I get playing beneits from reading it.
Of course, it is very detailed, but I think I can follow the discussions quite well. And, you don't have to go through every detail if you don't have the time. Sometimes, I also read it in bed before I go to sleep.
The anecdotes placed between the games are also worth reading.
I highly recommend this book!
Hard Work, Interesting Study, For Serious Players.......2000-01-20
I agree: Nunn's book is intense study material. Less-experienced players (like myself 10 years ago) will find it hard going because Nunn has not written a simplified "tutorial" work. What he does is extensively annotate various games he played throughout his chess career discussing openings, planning, tactics, etc. His notes are thorough, variations numerous, and the lessons learned important. I have to admit: I had an early edition of this book ten years ago, and gave it away. It was too hard. I wanted something light. Maybe I was lazy. Anyway, now I really enjoY this book, but be warned: it demands attention.

The people (John van der Wiel c.s.) who put up the special Nobel Prize for anyone who succeeds in refuting the Petroff Defence, will probably also be prepared to offer some kind of award to whoever draws the fangs of the Marshall Attack, another annoying drawing weapon for Black in the 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 repertoire. It appears that there have been rumours buzzing on the Internet about such a refutation, but, as Van der Tak explains, Marshall addicts need not despair yet.

Book Description
Now In Paperback! Develop an effective measurement system by targeting the vital few key measures!
Keeping Score: Using the Right Metrics to Drive World-Class Performance ensures that you look at the right measurements. Following a Baldrige approach, Mark Graham Brown shows you how to evaluate your current approach to measurement and redesign inadequate metrics and systems used to collect and report data. He contends that your measurements must focus on the past, present, and future and be based on the needs of customers, shareholders, and employees - pinpointing the vital few key measures is the key to success.
This book will ensure that you correctly measure:
Customer satisfaction and value. The quality of products and services before they reach the customer. Employee satisfaction. Keeping Score will help you improve the accuracy of your metrics by linking them to key success factors as well as learn how to select the right financial metrics, perform process measurement, and track supplier performance.
Customer Reviews:
A primer/reference, not in depth.......2006-09-30
This was the first book that I have read on metrics. Not that I'm a complete newb to them, but it is an entry-level view at them. Multiple times this book references Kaplan/Norton's The Balanced Scorecard which I am currently going through right now for more meat and potatoes on the subject.
This is a nice quick read for a quick start.
A Solid and Detailed Performance Measurement Guide .......2006-09-15
The author makes a number of important points in this book. There is an emphasis on the few key measures that matter, linked to strategy and stakeholder needs. As to their characteristics, he recommends metrics that provide a view of the past, present and future. While it is relatively easy to develop metrics with a focus on the past or present, developing future oriented metrics is a little more difficult. Unfortunately no generally applicable guideline seems to exist.
One very good aspect of "Keeping Score" is the presence of summaries at the end of each of the chapters of part 2, telling you how successful organisations measure performance in the areas of finance, quality, suppliers, customer satisfaction, processes/operations and employee satisfaction. Whether or not you currently have a system in place, you're likely to find more than a few useful ideas here.
Good stuff!.......2004-05-12
I've read all of Mark Graham Brown's books and been through a couple of his workshops. He always nails the topic and this book is no exception.
This book shows you how to pinpoint key measures, evaluate your measurement approach, and redesign inadequate metrics. I find it a very useful guide for my executive coaching and consulting practice.
Substantially Unsubstantial.......2003-06-24
Substantially Unsubstantial
Keeping Score is a good high-level review of the importance of metrics in strategy-driven organizations. Brown employs Kaplan & Norton's balanced scorecard methodology to illustrate the relationship between measurement and strategy. He doesn't really deliver much more than you would find in Kaplan & Norton's classic Balanced Scorecard book. I would like to have seen more suggested metrics around the various "themes": financial performance, customer satisfaction, product/service quality, process and operation performance, supplier performance, and employee satisfaction. I know macro- and micro-metrics are organization-specific; however, there are "generic" financial and satisfaction metrics he could offer. The Measurement System Self-Assessment 50 -item survey illustrated in the book is a great resource. It can easily be customized, automated and administered to stakeholders responsible for developing measurement systems. I applaud Brown for consistently reinforcing the formative rather than purely summative evaluation model. That is, any measurement system must contain historical (lagging), current, and forecasting (leading) measures. Those systems that are driven by summative data (i.e., historical) do not serve the real purpose of a measurement system, which is to allow stakeholders to make well-informed and better business decisions. Oftentimes, Brown downplays the complexity of developing and implementing a measurement system. He makes statements such as "Measurement is easy" and "Designing your own new and improved measurement system may not be a much work as you think..." These kinds of statements are worrisome and misleading because developing a robust measurement system aligned with organizational strategy is no simple feat. Nor, should it be. One extremely important area that is only slightly addressed is that of system maintenance and integrating the system into business processes. Once a measurement system has been established clear guidelines should be established as to how the data will be employed and used to make decisions. A truly strategic organization will incorporate the measurement system into the daily operations of the organization.
"Keeping Score" Right On Target.......2001-12-19
I ordered Mark Graham Brown's "Keeping Score" just as I got involved with a Balanced Scorecard implementation. As we worked through the process of designing our internal scorecard I found this slim volume (
<200 pages) an invaluable aid. From the introduction through to the last chapter, I found this book full of practical ideas and advice. For instance, one of my personal pet peeves is the short shrift most larger companies give to the value of their people. In chapter 10: "Measuring Employee Satisfaction", Mr. Brown addresses topics such as the short-sightedness of improving profits through downsizing and how a balanced scorecard can help underline this mistake. He ends the book with a practical 10 item list "The Key To Successful Plans". After all the theory, I was glad to have a roadmap handy. I'd recommend this book to anybody who is contemplating a new scorecard, or rehabbing an existing one.
