A new edition of a winner of the US Chess Federation Award for Best Book
“This is an outstandingly thorough and insightful book. ... I heartily recommend it” - GM Jonathan Rowson
Igor Stohl has selected 62 outstanding games from recent years and analysed them in painstaking depth. Here he presents his findings to chess enthusiasts, who will find the games entertaining and the annotations both instructive and illuminating. Stohl is an outstanding theoretical expert, so the opening phase of each game reads like a lesson in the key strategic aspects of the opening chosen, with a critical survey of modern trends. The middlegame is dissected and the critical decisions subjected to keen scrutiny - we are invited inside Stohl’s laboratory to join him in the quest for the truth. The endgame phase, if reached, is handled with similar erudition, with insights into the grandmaster’s approach to questions of technique. Following each game there is a discussion of the most important lessons to be learned. The expanded and revised new edition of this award-winning work features 12 new top-level games from the period 2000-7 annotated in great depth - about 40% new material. There are also corrections to the existing notes and a revised Introduction.
“Stohl scores over earlier annotations with a beguiling blend of deep analysis and adroit commentary” - John Saunders, British Chess Magazine
Igor Stohl is a well-known grandmaster from Slovakia. He plays in several national leagues and is a noted opening theoretician. His thorough annotations frequently appear in Ceskoslovensky Sach, Informator and ChessBase Magazine. The first edition of Instructive Modern Chess Masterpieces won the United States Chess Federation Cramer Award for Best Book. His follow-up was a monumental two-volume work, Garry Kasparov’s Greatest Chess Games.
“GM Igor Stohl’s Instructive Modern Chess Masterpieces was a game collection that won the 2001 Cramer Award for Best Book. The new edition is enlarged by 12 well-selected games. Stohl’s opening erudition shows throughout the book. His comments are deep, insightful and of high quality.” - GM Lubomir Kavalek, Washington Post
“...a tremendous amount of high quality chess material - a good candidate to take if marooned on a desert island” - IM John Donaldson, USA Team Captain
“...the new games make up for an additional 130 pages in the new edition I’d say that’s pretty good value for money. As could be expected, Stohl didn’t just pick some games from 2000-2007 he picked exactly those that tell the reader most about recent chess (opening) developments. Thus, it’s no coincidence that among the newly added games, we find instructive and exciting encounters with the Petroff, the Berlin Wall, the Chebanenko Slav, the Anti-Moscow Semi-Slav - in other words, precisely those opening systems that have become increasingly popular in exactly those years.” - Arne Moll, www.chessvibes.com

I was surprised to see this rated modestly by a limited sample of readers. I already owned the earlier paper edition, so I recently picked up this edition for my Kindle. I consider it good enough to buy twice , obviously. I like all of the author's work that I've seen. I can see no basis to criticize it.Product details

Instructive Modern Chess Masterpieces edition by Igor Stohl Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
Quality literature with a good selection of games, backed up with sound analysis and commentary. A must buy. So many books in chess are poorly written, here's one that's great on all levels. Balanced and brilliant.
This, as is the previous edition, is a great chess book. Don't take any anonymous person's word for it (including mine). Google "John Watson Chess review Stohl Instructive Games " and see what an acknowledged, high-quality chess reviewer says. It's advanced, but worth the money and the work to read/play through.
Stohl has very little to add to his computer's analysis--and if that were not already unforgiveable in a chess author, his lack of judgment in the lines he evaluates and includes, too many of which are entirely irrelevant to the themes and motiffs the players are exploring, completes the assessment. I am rated > 2400, and find analysis like this, UNLESS I CONDUCT IT MY SELF, next to useless it is unlikely that a person can learn mathematics by watching someone else add.
Stohl's two volumes on Kasparov is better, but let's face it, Stohl is not a great chess player, and he is not a great author. He is, as Davies has complained more generally, one of the "organization men" of the chess world, not really needed, but wanting any other form of life, compelled to impose themselves where they would most like to fit.
I rate it one star, but it perhaps deserves two--if I were grading it as a doctoral thesis on the unimportant.
