Learn from Bent Larsen by Mihail Marin

Descripción

Learn from Bent Larsen is one of the most celebrated chess players of the twentieth century.

Larsen is the man who pushed Bobby Fischer down to Board 2 on the Rest of the World team in 1970. The Danish grandmaster had spectacular results, but chess fans appreciated even more his creativity and fighting spirit.

For Larsen, a drawish-looking position was no reason to halt a game, as he had the ability to create magic out of thin air.

Learn from Bent Larsen is a labour of love by award-winning author Mihail Marin.

This project was originally planned as one chapter in a book about several players, but as ever more gems emerged, it became clear that Bent Larsen deserved a book of his own.

Mihail Marin is a grandmaster from Romania. His books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the best chess authors in the world.

Bent Larsen , the noted grandmaster and world championship contender was born and raised in Denmark. He learned to play chess at the age of 7, his first teacher and classmate was a friend from school.

At the age of 12, Larsen began to study chess literature on his own. He was greatly influenced by the book on the king’s tactic: « an opening as powerful as a hurricane, against which no one can resist! »Larsen quickly achieved success: he consistently became the first in the club, city, province and, at the age of 19, in all of Denmark.
