Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 38 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers, First edition. The Réti Opening is a hypermodern chess opening whose "traditional" or "classic method" begins with the moves: 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 White attacks Black's pawn from the flank, which may occasion 2.dxc4. White may couple this plan with a kingside fianchetto (g3 and Bg2) to create pressure on the light squares in the center. The opening is named after Czechoslovakian chess player Richard Réti (18891929). The opening is in the spirit of the hypermodernism movement that Réti championed, with the center being dominated from the wings rather than by direct occupation. If White fianchettoes both bishops, castles kingside, and refrains from occupying the center with pawns, the result may be described as the Réti System. Condition: Light edge wear else very good.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 64 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4) bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. The Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence is one of the most popular, reputable, and deeply studied of all chess openings. Modern Chess Openings calls it the "Cadillac" or "Rolls-Royce" of chess openings. The opening is named after the Polish-Argentine grandmaster Miguel Najdorf, although he was not the first strong player to play the variation. Many players have relied on the Najdorf (notably Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, although Kasparov would often transpose into a Scheveningen). The Najdorf begins: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 Black's 5.a6 aims to deny the b5-square to White's knights and light-square bishop while maintaining flexible development. If Black plays 5.e5?! immediately, then after 6.Bb5+! Bd7 (or 6.Nbd7 7.Nf5) 7.Bxd7+ Nbxd7 (or Qxd7) 8.Nf5, the knight on f5 is difficult to dislodge without concessions. Games in the Najdorf frequently feature opposite-side castling, where White castles long and both sides launch simultaneous attacks on their opponents' kings.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original polisher's red cloth with gilt letter to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. The 1973 FIDE World Chess Championship Interzonals marked a historic change in the qualification cycle, splitting the Interzonal stage into two separate 18-player round-robin tournaments for the first time. This system allowed more regional qualifiers a chance to advance, with the top three finishers from each venue securing a spot in the 1974 Candidates Matches to find a challenger for reigning champion Bobby Fischer. Held at the Dzerzhinsky House of Culture in Leningrad, Soviet Union, this tournament was thoroughly dominated by two powerhouse Soviet Grandmasters. Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov jointly took 1st-2nd place with dominant scores of 13½/17. Korchnoi achieved this with 11 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss, while a rising Karpov went undefeated with 10 wins and 7 draws. Robert Byrne of the United States claimed the 3rd and final qualification spot with 12½/17, leading the non-Soviet contingent. Jan Smejkal of Czechoslovakia finished just outside of qualification with 11 points, seeing his chances dashed after losing a favorable position to Karpov in the penultimate round. Former World Champion Mikhail Tal suffered a disappointing performance, finishing well down the field with 8½ points. The monumental games and tournament drama of this cycle were famously captured in the classic 1974 tournament book World Championship Interzonals: Leningrad-Petropolis, 1973, co-authored by Robert Wade, Les Blackstock, and Alexander Kotov.
