Yochanan Afek

Yochanan Afek is an over-the-board IM from Israel who holds titles in almost every area of chess, including Grandmaster of Chess Composition.

In a long and celebrated chess career, Afek has been a composer and a solver, an arbiter and a tournament organizer, as well as a player, trainer and author.

Henrik Mortensen, Facebook Group Chess Book Collectors:

«It is one of the very best books for chess lovers who like to sit at home – and perhaps on a winter evening – at the chessboard.

I give the book 5 stars out of 5 possible.»

Practical Chess Beauty Second Edition

The first edition of my ‘deep purple’ book, published in 2018, was dedicated to the first fifty years of my creative chess career. In the years that followed,

I slowed down my playing and training activities – yet in chess composing and writing, I continue to find worthy alternative channels to express my never-ending chess passion.

Following the growing popularity of the art of the endgame study, also as a highly appreciated training tool, and consequently the success of the first edition,

I was encouraged by Quality Chess to add a selection of my more recent efforts, partly in collaboration with gifted fellow composers.

Introduced in the additional chapter, they represent a variety of my favourite themes and motifs with a clear affinity to the over-the-board game.
