Book excerpt: Learn from the Legends is a modern classic. ChessCafe chose it as their Book of the Year and IM Jeremy Silman went even further when he wrote: I cant recall having seen a better book in the last two decades. Ten years after the original publication, Quality Chess is proud to offer a revised hardback edition with a new chapter on the latest chess legend, Magnus Carlsen. Mihail Marin examines and explains the ideas of the legends who shaped modern chess. The chapters in this book discuss: Rubinsteins excellent rook endgame technique; Alekhines expertise with the heavy pieces; Botvinniks ability for deep analysis; Tals handling of heavy pieces vs. minor pieces; Petrosians positional exchange sacrifices; Fischers strength with the kings bishop; Karpovs handling of bishops of opposite colour; Korchnoi the rebel; Carlsen the new king.
