Final vergriffen
In the era before the computer-driven homogenization of chess styles and the instant transmission of new moves through the internet, chess players had distinctive styles, and none was more distinctive than that of Canadian Grandmaster Duncan Suttles. Few players have been as willing to take risks as Suttles, and his games combine fearlessness and creativity in a unique way. Suttles played fighting, uncompromising chess. While his ideas may not always have been objectively correct, his opponents faced the challenge of proving that at the board. Suttles was not afraid to lose games, and he was even less afraid lo lose post-mortems!
In this, the first volume of a three-volume series, 100 of Suttles' games are analyzed in detail. Readers of all levels of experience and ability will enjoy these games and learn from them.
Reading these booksThe three volumes contain all of Suttles' tournament games which could be found. The first volume consists of 100 games, ordered by theme. Our intention is to help the reader explore various positional ideas and strategies, or particularly good or bad results, in a single place. The main goal of the first volume is to help the reader understand Suttles' unique style, but there may be instructional or inspirational value in this volume as well.
Where a game is annotated in the first volume, it is referred to throughout all three volumes as "(Game [#]").
The second and third volumes consist of 513 full Suttles games, ordered by opening, plus 7 supplemental games. In addition, the first ten moves of the 100 games in the first volume are given in the appropriate location. Here the idea is to let the reader see how Suttles handled different openings and the positions arising out of them. Some of the games in the second and third volumes are annotated briefly, but many have very detailed notes.
Where a game appears in the second and third volumes, it is referred to in the usual manner, with the players' names, the location and the year. The absence of a game number indicates the game is not one of the 100 selected games in the first volume.
