Chess Coach The Profound and Lasting Influence of Mark Dvoretsky this remarkable book is

When Dvoretsky started coaching after a fairly successful career as a player, he became a kind of

doctor who could quickly spot what his students needed help with. He made them better chess

players but also better people.

Chess Coach The Profound

In this book, not only his most famous students Artur Yusupov and Sergey Dolmatov explain

what made Dvoretsky so special, but also former World Champions such as Garry Kasparov, Vishy

Anand, Veselin Topalov and Magnus Carlsen, and many others.

In addition to a wealth of delightful and often touching stories, Chess Coach contains 39 of

Dvoretsky’s games, which show what a strong player he was. They have been analysed by Dvoretsky

himself and by many of his former students. Several interviews and articles complete this colourful

compilation. One of Dvoretsky’s own most famous books was called For Friends and Colleagues –

as Garry Kasparov writes in his extensive foreword, this book is a worthy reply ‘From Friends and Colleagues’.

A LIFE DEDICATED TO CHESS AND ITS PLAYERS

Mark Dvoretsky (1947-2016) was known as ‘the strongest International Master in the world’ in

the mid-1970s when he decided to pursue a career as a chess trainer. His students Artur Yusupov and

Sergey Dolmatov became World Championship Candidates. A meticulous chess analyst, Dvoretsky

wrote many highly acclaimed books, his most famous being Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual. He

became so popular as a coach that dozens of world-class players repeatedly sought his advice.
