Commentaar:

For Lluis Comas Fabrego chess is about more than just winning as many games as possible, it is a creative search for the truth, in True Lies in Chess Comas Fabrego takes on the challenging task of separating the truth from lies in chess literature. Guided by many practical examples and clear advice, the readers will learn how to reduce the complexity of chess towards the essential features of each position, and so improve their play.

The author argues that in modern chess the tendency to prefer concrete analysis to the written word is dangerous. Humans are incapable of finding the correct move by brute-force calculation like a computer. We must simplify the problem by focusing on the elements that our judgement tells us are most significant. Comas Fabrego shows how his creative approach has helped him find many novelties in the opening, particularly concentrating on the Na6-lines of the King's Indian in which he is a renowned expert.

Lluis Comas Fabrego is a grandmaster and has twice been Spanish Champion. This is his first book for Quality Chess.

____________________________________________________

Very few chess books are able to make an original contribution about the strategic side of chess, but that is the aim of this remarkable book. The dog­mas of chess, which have been established for more than a century, are rarely questioned despite the clear evolution in the style of top class chess. By taking an irreverent look at the supposed absolute truths of chess, Comas Fabrego judges the validity of established rules and strategic con­cepts.
