Chess Movies 2: The Means and Ends

Chess Movies represents a new idea in the Pandolfini Chess Library series. It offers instructional material with every single move diagrammed and explained. Thus a chessboard and pieces are not needed to follow through. This makes it possible to rely solely on the book itself, as one would with a text on tactics and problems, without having to set up the positions. It’s almost as if one is sitting in a movie theater, watching the film roll by, with the narrative carried along by subtitles. But whereas a film seen in the theater just keeps going, here you can “stop” the action and take time thinking about what you’re seeing and what’s being explained to you, as if you were home watching on your own DVD.

In this second volume of the Chess Movies series, The Means and Ends, the enthusiast is presented with an assortment of 50 precisely finessed and well-executed endgames from the oeuvres of the world’s foremost chess gladiators. Lasker, Rubinstein, Capablanca, Karpov, Fischer, Anand and other chess gods, offered in stratagem, maneuver, and insightful simplification, provide the subject matter for this newest collection of chess cinema. Taking off from volume 1 of the Chess Movies series, the present volume shows the other end of successful chess play, the actual final moves of winning endgames. Read and watch on, and may all of you play happily ever after.

5 Minute books give story choices with beautiful illustrations
Format: Hardcover
The 5 Minute books are a perfect way to read great stories and see beautiful illustrations every night before bed and not have long stories that takes away from bedtime routines. The book has a variety of choices so kids can select the “story” they would like. My granddaughter loves the princess version but we have so many 5 Minute books!

Cute book, damaged on arrival
Format: Hardcover
The book arrived with some damage to the cover and corners, but the pages inside are fine and the stories are enjoyable. My child liked reading them at bedtime. Consider checking the condition on delivery if you want it gift-ready.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
The stories may push the 5 minute time, but they are cute and fun. The pictures/artwork are perfect. My child wants certain stories just for the pictures as we go through it. Solid book build as well so can't beat the value.
