Bullet Chess, One Minute to Mate

En nærmest solid seriøs innholdsrik bok om 1-minutts lynsjakk fortrinnsvis på internett, med stjernen over dem alle i denne grenen, Nakamura, som en av forfatterne.

Kjempenyttig(!) i alle fall for dem som spiller veldig kjappe partier på nettet, men også endel for praktisk lynsjakk i sin alminnelighet. Dessuten mye taktikk og psykologi og ganske underholdende skrevet, med utrolig mange artige(!) partieksempler og stillinger som illustrerer forfatternes budskap.

Fra forordet til Yasser Seirawan:

(..) To my knowledge there has never been a book devoted to serious bullet play(..) Hikaru (or "H-Bomb"as he is known) is a bullet legend on internet chess servers around the world.

His bullet skills are simply extraordinary, and watching him play is a marvelous, and at times jaw-dropping, experience. He is that good (..)

Drawing from his games and the games of others, his experiences and how he thinks about bullet, the reader is welcomed into a fascinating parallel universe of the chess world. (..)

What bullet really teaches us is pattern recognition. Specifically mating and tactical patterns that win material. All these themes are chapters in this work and critical components of playing bullet successfully. (..)

This book will teach you to be a sharper tactician and a much stronger bullet player.
