Amerikanische Verlage sind für kundenTitel berühmt (und bisweilen beüchtigt). „Geheimnisse der russischen Meisweckt Erwartungen, zumal der Buchrüvollmundig verkündet: „Die russische Dominanz im modernen Schach basierte auf einem einzigartig erfolgreichen Programm der Schacherziehung. Dieses Programm ist nun in gestraffter Form für den amerikanischen Leser in einer Reihe von Bänangepasst worden. Dies eröglicht dem Leser eine schrittweise Entvom Anfänger- zum Expertenniveau." Der dreifache US-Meister Lev Alburt, der sich 1976 während einer Europacup-Mannschaftsin Solingen von seinem sowjeischen Team absetzte und in die USA emigierte, und Larry Parr, der Herausgeber des Anfang des Jahres eingestellten „Chess Life" Magazins des US-Verbandes, wollen dieses imbitionierte Anliegen einlösen. Gelungen ist es ihnen nicht!
Zwei Bände mit zusammen 515 Seiten in einspaltigem, „luftigen" Layout hätten - entsprechend deutschen oder englischen Vorbildern - auf gut die Hälfte des Umfangs gepasst. Angesprochen werden im ersten Teil Anfänger, im zweiten Spieler bis einem Level von 1400. Alles konventionell: Kombinaionen (lerntechnisch ungeschickt mit Lösungen auf der gleichen oder gegenüberliegenlen Seite), einige Partien, wichtige Eröffnungen in Kurzabrissen und ein paar EndspielÜber die russische Schachschule und ihre Erfolgsfaktoren erfährt man schlichtweg nichts. Bisweilen lesen sich Definitionen über Taktik und Strategie ganz gerfällig, vereinzelte Checklisten helfen dem Neuling sicher. Aber was sich in Amerika -
wo Schach häufiger im „Community work", der sozialen Stadtteilarbeit, eingesetzt wird -für die Zielgruppe der Einsteiger eignet, ist in Europa längst vorhanden. Mit einem Klassiwie Rudolf Teschners „Eine Schule des Schachs in 40 Stunden" (demnächst in 5. akAusgabe Edition Olms) ist man für das halbe Geld mindestens genau so systebedient.
