Description
Bent Larsen is one of the most celebrated chess players of the twentieth century. Larsen is the man who pushed Bobby Fischer down to Board 2 on the Rest of the World team in 1970. The Danish grandmaster had spectacular results, but chess fans appreciated even more his creativity and fighting spirit. For Larsen, a drawish-looking position was no reason to halt a game, as he had the ability to create magic out of thin air.
Learn from Bent Larsen is a labour of love by award-winning author Mihail Marin. This project was originally planned as one chapter in a book about several players, but as ever more gems emerged, it became clear that Bent Larsen deserved a book of his own.

Reviews / Votes
"A really lovely book - definitely the best tribute I've read about a wonderful player. Hugely recommended - 5 stars" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess "Learn from Bent Larsen is a super piece of work. Marin is one of the finest contemporary chess writers, and it shows... Inspiration is indeed the main thing I take away from Marin's book... For those not familiar with the Larsen legacy, this tremendous piece of work will be an eye-opener." -- Ian Marks, Chess Scotland full reviewMore details
