Learn From Bent Larsen PB

Learn from Bent Larsen by Mihail Marin is an English-language chess book in paperback that takes a close look at one of the most inventive and fighting grandmasters of the twentieth century. It is aimed at readers who want to study Larsen’s games and understand the ideas behind his bold, uncompromising style.

Bent Larsen was remembered not only for his results, but also for the way he played. He earned a place on the first board for the Rest of the World team in the 1970 match, which pushed Bobby Fischer to board two, and his games often showed the kind of creativity that could change a quiet position in an instant.

What this book covers

Mihail Marin wrote this volume as a dedicated study of Larsen rather than a brief chapter in a larger work. The amount of material was so substantial that Larsen was given his own book, making this a focused read for anyone who wants to go beyond a few selected examples and explore his style in more depth.

Who it is for

This book will appeal to ambitious club players as well as readers interested in chess history. If you enjoy games built around initiative, practical fighting spirit and original decisions at the board, it offers plenty to study and enjoy.
