GM (and WIM) Zsuzsa (Susan) Polgár was born in Budapest, Hungary, and along with her two younger sisters, Judit Polgar and Zsofia Polgar, she was taught chess by her father, Laszlo Polgár. By 1984 she became the top-rated woman chess player in the world. Later that year, FIDE, in a controversial decision, granted 100 rating points to every female player except Zsuzsa. In 1991, Susan achieved the men's grandmaster title, and later that year, her sister Judit Polgar earned the title as well. She is a FIDE Senior Trainer. In 1996, Susan won the Women's World Championship, but refused to defend her title in 1999 against Xie Jun, because she believed the conditions were unfair. In 2004 she competed in the 36th Chess Olympiad, winning gold medals for points and for the highest performance rating. In total, she has won ten Olympiad…

Description:
100 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. We are dealing with one of the most solid and respected weapons against Queen's Indian Defence - Petrosian System. The starting position of the variation arises after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.a3. Sometimes it is hard to believe that with the subtle positional move 4.a3 White is actually fighting for the e4-square. The main idea is to play Nc3 on the next move without allowing ...Bb4. This approach forces Black to immediately start fighting for the centre. In different time periods, Petrosian Variation was employed by many top players. For instance, nowadays, this is the way in which Mamedyarov meets the Queen's Indian Defence. Theoretically speaking, like in every decent opening, Black should be able to hold the balance. From a practical perspective, however, White's play is easier. In many positions, Black struggles to obtain counter play.Condition: Spine sunned else very good.

Description:
139 pages with diagrams. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated by Ralph Lawrence. First American edition. The Queen's Indian Defense[1] (QID) is a chess opening defined by the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6. The opening is a solid defense to the Queen's Pawn Game. 3...b6 increases Black's control over the central light squares e4 and d5 by preparing to fianchetto the queen's bishop, with the opening deriving its name from this maneuver. As in the other Indian defenses, Black attempts to control the center with pieces in hypermodern style, instead of occupying it with pawns in classical style. Condition: Lightly soiled, foxing to preliminaries, corners bumped, light edge wear else very good.

It did not take the local police long to put two and two together, especially when the husband confessed to the crime. But at the trial an able defense counsel tore the police evidence to ribbons and the case was thrown wide open once again, much to the relief of Inspector Crow, who had always distrusted the confession. What puzzled him was why it had ever been made. Condition: Jacket price chipped else a better than very good copy in a near fine jacket.

Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition.The author's description of the Quiche conquest of the Guatemala Highlands is based on his analysis of the region's well-preserved Late Post-classic archaeological remains in conjunction with the abundant ethnohistoric documentation of the pre-Hispanic period. In order to assess the degree of Quiche influence on subjugated peoples, he analyzes the settlement remains of each conquered ethnic group before and after Quiche domination. Ethnohistory provides complementary data on such political acts of conquest as military occupation and levies of tribute in goods or services. Fox also infers economic relationships from the information the documents provide on tribute payments and agricultural production. Quiche Conquest is valuable not only as a complete portrait of the settlement system of…
