Description
Grandmaster Zenon Franco's in-depth analysis of 32 instructive games by Magnus Carlsen, where he wins with the white pieces. This book is written in a "move by move" style, making it an ideal training tool for studying chess and improving skills.
The games featured are from Magnus's recent career, including one from 2020 and eight from 2019, against top opponents such as Viswanathan Anand, Vladimir Kramnik, and Anish Giri. Franco reveals how Magnus outplays his opponents in the middlegame by making stronger moves and applying constant pressure.
With a foreword by Peter Heine Nielsen, Chief Second and Coach to Magnus Carlsen, this book provides valuable insights into Magnus's thought process and strategies. A second book, "Magnus Wins With Black", is also forthcoming.
