A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHESS SETS...<br />

Each of the sets include 32 pieces, with the exception of the Tournament Range, which comes with an extra queen in each colour. All sets are supplied in card boxes. The<br />

white pieces of all sets are made from boxwood. As natural materials vary in shade and grain, the set you receive may differ slightly in appearance. Ebony is a mature, robust<br />

wood which is black in colour. Striped Ebony has flecks of rich brown graining showing through the Ebony black. Rosewood is a reddish brown wood, with a pronounced<br />

grain. Sheesham is a very natural coloured wood, medium brown with some graining, although not as pronounced as Rosewood. Antiqued Brown or Black indicates that<br />

the pieces are made of boxwood, with the black chessmen being stained to achieve the desired effect.<br />

it is exclusively reared.<br />

The Camargue chessmen are handcrafted sculptures fashioned from finest pewter. Each piece is individually worked<br />

to attain a superb degree of detail and finish, whilst retaining the quality and character that comes from being hand<br />

made. Each piece is based in nappa leather, hallmarked by the principal sculptor J. Du Preez, and a single white<br />

pawn in each set is initialled. The set comprises 34 chessmen (2 queens), with the King standing 4". Presented<br />

in a beautiful Rosewood casket, with the interior lavishly finished in leather, and bearing the unique Knight<br />

clasps. Includes Maple & Chacate chessboard (pictured below). This set is also available in Silver - POA.<br />

The most popular chess program on the market is back and even better. For years <strong>Fritz</strong><br />

has fascinated the chess public. Whether it was the match against World Champion Vladimir Kramnik at Bahrain 2002,<br />

against Garry Kasparov at New York 2003, or the revenge match against Kramnik at Bonn in 2006 – the pitting of the wits of the strongest<br />

players on the planet against the world's finest chess playing program has generated unprecedented media attention and<br />

fired the imagination of people from all walks of life. “Man vs Machine” has become one of the great themes of our time.<br />

<strong>Fritz</strong> is also great for less experienced players. The program will help you along during the game, with sophisticated coaching<br />

functions, adjusting its playing strength to exactly match that of any opponent. It graphically displays threats, plans, and<br />

opening guidance. For beginners <strong>Fritz</strong> will explain moves and positions, or warn you of errors you are committing. It has instructive<br />

training modules and amusing handicap levels. For club and tournament players <strong>Fritz</strong> has long become a trusted<br />

friend and indispensable advisor, helping them to study their games and find new opening ideas. A database with more than<br />

a million games provides the basis for state-of-the-art analysis. Even Garry Kasparov has used <strong>Fritz</strong> on a regular basis.<br />

How often have you attended Grandmaster lectures or training sessions? With its <strong>Chess</strong> Media System <strong>Fritz</strong> brings the<br />

world's greatest chess players into your living room in high resolution video and sound with a synchronised graphic<br />

chessboard. Listen to Garry Kasparov, Victor Korchnoi, Alexei Shirov or (former world champion) Rustam Kasimdzhanov<br />

as they explain important openings and ideas that lead to success. A host of famous chess teachers provide instruction<br />

in subjects such as opening traps, middlegame strategy or endgame skills. For those of you who have never played<br />

chess before there are elementary courses to teach you the basics in a matter of hours. <strong>Fritz</strong> also has a variety of beautiful<br />

photo realistic 3D chessboards, and can provide amusing verbal comments during the game.<br />

System Requirements: Minimum : Pentium 300 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 2000/XP, DVD drive, Windows Media Player 9. Recommended: Pentium IV 2,2 GHz or higher, 256 MB RAM,<br />

Windows XP, GeForce5 or compatible graphics card with 64 MB RAM or higher, sound card, Windows Media Player 9, DVD drive. <strong>Fritz</strong> is Windows Vista ready!<br />

DEEP FRITZ <strong>11</strong>£109.95 (DVD) is the multiprocessor version of <strong>Fritz</strong> <strong>11</strong>. The program will run on a PC which has multiple processors/multiple cores, harnessing<br />

the machine’s additional hardware to speed up the program’s chess calculation. Running on a Intel Core 2 duo system, Deep <strong>Fritz</strong> <strong>11</strong> will calculate at roughly twice the rate of<br />

a single-processor system meaning it will evaluate twice as many positions as <strong>Fritz</strong> <strong>11</strong> does in the same amount of time or looking at it another way it will produce the same<br />

results but in half the time! This is a great help when analyzing large numbers of positions such as researching new moves in an opening variation or when analyzing a single<br />

position in detail which has a number of candidate moves. Deep <strong>Fritz</strong> <strong>11</strong> is at least 50 points stronger than its single-processor counterpart when run on the same hardware.<br />

NEW SHREDDER <strong>11</strong><br />

£39.99 (DVD)<br />

No other program in the world<br />

has been able to win as many<br />

world championship titles as<br />

Shredder. The new version is<br />

stronger, with its performance<br />

improved by about 100 Elo<br />

points. This was achieved by<br />

implementing more efficient<br />

search techniques and a new<br />

evaluation function which delivers<br />

more realistic assessments. The evaluation of<br />

passed pawns has also been greatly improved. All of this<br />

leads to more reliable and realistic results during your<br />

analysis with the computer. A new feature is the ‘Opening<br />

Advisor’, which allows Shredder to handle opening lines<br />

better without consulting an openings book.<br />

NEW DEEP SHREDDER <strong>11</strong> £74.99 (DVD)<br />

The multi-processor version of Shredder <strong>11</strong> and the winner of the<br />

2007 World Computer Blitz Championships held in Amsterdam.<br />

FRITZ <strong>11</strong>(DVD) £29.99! (RRP £39.99)<br />

JUNIOR 10<br />

£39.99 (DVD)<br />

The single-processor version<br />

of the Computer World<br />

Champion. The program is<br />

noted for its creative and tactical<br />

playing style which shot to<br />

worldwide prominence when<br />

it rocked Garry Kasparov with<br />

a famous bishop sacrifice on<br />

h2. No other program on the<br />

market can assess unbalanced<br />

and tactical positions as accurately as Junior 10. After<br />

pitting your tactical wits against the program you will<br />

be well placed to dominate the opposition on the<br />

playchess.com server. Includes 12 months free access.<br />

DEEP JUNIOR 10 £74.99 (DVD)<br />

Deep Junior was the 2006 Computer World Champion and<br />

more recently dispatched Deep <strong>Fritz</strong> 10 - 4:2 in a match. Junior<br />

continues to impress experts with its dynamic play and<br />

resilient defence.<br />

ZAP!CHESS £39.99 (DVD)<br />

Zap <strong>Chess</strong>! is the commercial version<br />

of Zappa, the 2005 World Computer<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> Champion. With an aggressive<br />

style of play that likes to attack the<br />

opponent king, Zap <strong>Chess</strong>! boasts a<br />

fearsome yet positionally sound<br />

playing style. STOP PRESS! in September<br />

2007 Zappa won a match<br />

against Rybka by a score of 5.5 - 4.5<br />

and is currently number two in the<br />

computer chess rating lists.<br />

TIGER 15 £39.99 (DVD)<br />

Tiger by name, ferocious by nature.<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> Tiger 15 is one of the most aggressive<br />

programs on the market, favoring<br />

tactical combinations to quieter<br />

waters. The program comes with a<br />

giant tournament-tested openings<br />

book and a database of 500,000 top games, making this<br />

one of the best prepared Tigers to play chess ever!<br />

NEW RYBKA 2.3.2 The World’s Strongest <strong>Chess</strong> Program<br />

For a very long time the difference between the best chess programs has been only a few ELO points, but a new program, Rybka, is now the leading program<br />

in all lists (sometimes by as much as 100 points!) and it’s all down to its revolutionary method of move selection. The developer of the program - IM Vasik Rajlich<br />

(Hungary) has inserted algorithms of positional valuation which are extremely close to the thought<br />

patterns of the super GMs - allowing it to achieve its amazing results in playing (undefeated in 20 games<br />

against Deep Junior) and a superior quality of analysis! There are four versions of Rybka available:<br />

Rybka 2.3 UCI £29.95 Available as a UCI (Universal <strong>Chess</strong> Interface) version which requires the user to<br />

also have a <strong>Chess</strong>Base program (e.g. <strong>Chess</strong>Base, <strong>Fritz</strong>, Shredder, Junior, Hiarcs) or Arena in order to run,<br />

and comes with a <strong>Chess</strong>Base compatible Opening Book. Recommended for more experienced users.<br />

Rybka 2.3 + <strong>Chess</strong> Openings £39.95 Full <strong>Chess</strong> Assistant version with its own interface, plus the<br />

UCI version and a special Rybka opening book with GM-annotated Encylopedia.<br />

Deep Rybka 2.3 UCI £49.95 The UCI version of Rybka optimised for multiprocessor PCs.<br />

The software employs the multiprocessor to effectively share the workload, meaning better play.<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> Openings opening book to improve opening play.<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> for Tigers 3 rd edition<br />

Simon Webb £15.99<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> for Tigers tells you how to<br />

make the most of your playing<br />

strength, how to play upon your<br />

opponent's weaknesses, how to<br />

steer the game into a position<br />

which suits you and not your<br />

opponent, how to get results<br />

against strong opposition and<br />

how to avoid silly mistakes. This is<br />

a cult classic that is as relevant<br />

now to a new generation of chess<br />

players as the first edition was.<br />

Improve Your <strong>Chess</strong> in 7 Days<br />

chess as you will ever need.<br />

Understanding <strong>Chess</strong> Tactics<br />

Martin Weteschnik £14.99<br />

‘<strong>Chess</strong> is 99% tactics’ is an old<br />

saying. This may be an exaggeration,<br />

but even the remaining 1%<br />

still depends on tactics.<br />

Weteschnik draws on his years of<br />

experience as a chess teacher to<br />

produce a book which does more<br />

than simply listing puzzle after<br />

puzzle, instead explaining the<br />

concepts behind them to get the<br />

most from their study.<br />

This book is the first in a brand new series following<br />

on from My Great Predecessors. <strong>Chess</strong> legend<br />

Garry Kasparov reflects on a pivotal time in<br />

chess history. Bobby Fischer's rise towards the<br />

chess summit (1970-1972) marked the approach<br />

of a new era, affecting all aspects of the<br />

game and opening theory in particular. Fischer<br />

demonstrated the need for deep preparation<br />

with both colours, expanded the range of<br />

openings studied and laid the basis for present-day<br />

professional chess. He became the<br />

first real chess professional in the West.<br />

The leader of the new generation, Anatoly Karpov, fully reaped the fruits<br />

of the Fischer revolution and mastered the lessons of his great predecessor.<br />

Of the players of the older generation, only Victor Korchnoi was<br />

able to achieve such a high level of professionalism.<br />

Alas, Fischer left the chess stage. Between 1972 and 1975 alone,<br />

progress in the field of opening theory was more significant than in the<br />

entire preceding decade! Under the influence of Fischer who imparted<br />

a great impetus to the development of the game, chess was radically regenerated.<br />

This process accelerated in later years. As a result the overall<br />

picture in the openings changed almost beyond recognition.<br />

By studying this fascinating book the reader will certainly learn a great<br />

deal, discover things that are unexpected, and see how rapidly and inexorably<br />

chess development approached the computer era.<br />

Rowson presents many new ideas on how<br />

Lite' can arise, where White finds himself<br />

lacking any constructive moves.<br />

Why has one game, alone among the<br />

thousands of games invented and<br />

played throughout human history, not<br />

only survived but thrived within every<br />

culture it has touched? What is it about<br />

its thirty-two figurative pieces, moving<br />

about its sixty-four black and white<br />

squares according to very simple rules,<br />

that has captivated people for nearly<br />

1,500 years? Why has it driven some of<br />

its greatest players into paranoia and<br />

madness, and yet is hailed as a remarkably<br />

powerful intellectual tool?<br />

finesses. Some help on opening<br />

leads often crucial to the making or breaking<br />

of a contract.<br />

strategies for pairs and teams bridge.<br />

DVD 3 Cards on the Table £14.99<br />

to think about the contract before playing the first trick is also emphasised.<br />

aBRIDGEd<br />

an introduction to Bridge £12.99<br />

When is bridge not bridge? When it’s<br />

aBRIDGEd, which is bridge without the bidding,<br />

akin to what is known as MiniBridge but with a<br />

more commercial approach that eschews bridge<br />

jargon and sophisticated bidding systems and<br />

introduces simplified cards and scoring. For<br />

example, there are colours instead of suits and<br />

numbers instead of honour cards.<br />

The rules can be picked up in just a few minutes<br />

and players can be up and playing in<br />

almost no time. The perfect gift for those who<br />

wish to learn Bridge but who have seen the<br />

game as too daunting.<br />

David Bird £<strong>11</strong>.95<br />

Every intermediate player is familiar<br />

with the routine techniques of dummy<br />

play. What this book describes are less<br />

include methods for creating entries,<br />

surviving bad trump breaks, elopements,<br />

getting the defenders to help<br />

you out, and many more. In this unique<br />

and quirky book, the author introduces the reader to new<br />

ways of thinking about declarer play, ways that just might<br />

help him make that next contract!<br />

Mark Horton £<strong>11</strong>.95<br />

What makes a bridge expert, and why<br />

does he always come out on top compared<br />

to the average club player? No,<br />

it's not the ability to execute esoteric<br />

squeezes and endplays - they simply<br />

don't come up enough to account for<br />

the way the experts consistently win<br />

against weaker opposition. This book<br />

is a collection of deals that illustrate the difference between<br />

the expert player and the would-be expert. These are decisions<br />

that will come up in every club game, situations in<br />

bidding, play and defence where the amateur will often go<br />

wrong, but the expert never will. A study of the concepts<br />

in this book will take the reader a long way from amateur<br />

status towards actually becoming an expert player.<br />
