    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The Hungarian International Master has succeeded in writing something special that should appeal to a wide range of players? Karpov's Strategic Wins Volume 1 is not only a tribute to Karpov's strategic brilliance, it is also a fine instructive work? Many of the notes that Karolyi offers will be of great benefit to amateur players as well as professionals? Wonderful prose like this makes the book special? Karpov's Strategic Wins Volume 1 belongs in every chess player's library. Highly Recommended." IM John Donaldson, jeremysilman.com


    Anatoly Karpov is one of the greatest Chess World Champions with his prime strength the subtle manoeuvring of positional play. Many of his opponents have been baffled by the profundity of his strategies, but here Karolyi explains Karpov's genius: Karpov's Strategic Wins features Karpov's most entertaining and instructive strategic wins from 1961-1985 when Karpov proved he was a worthy successor to Bobby Fischer's title.



    "Karolyi dissects Karpov's wins thoroughly and the books examine Karpov's career in detail. It was a colossal undertaking and Karolyi spent several years studying his protagonist. He delivers a fascinating account of Karpov's skills." -- GM Lubomir Kavalek, full column at Huffington Post and ChessBase
