Anno 2007 it has become apparent that chess computers have superior calculative prowess in matches with human players under tournament conditions. Is this the "End of Human Chess"? In this book it is demonstrated that it is surprisingly easy to defeat chess programs. What is the trick? ÒIf you can not beat them, join themÓ. Play computer chess with analyses and variations displayed on BOTH sides of the board. This approach is called MAN-ASSISTED-MACHINE CHESS or MAMS. The risk margins are considerably larger than in tournament games leading to spectacular games. ÒNo guts, no gloryÓ is the motto. In an appendix the opening lines played in the recent match between ruling world champion Kramnik against Deep Fritz ( 2-4, Bonn 2006) are transformed to winning positions.

Concise, well researched and objective; a great homeschool resource
This is a great read; sufficiently detailed to be worth the time spent, but not so bogged down in minutia that you find yourself wondering how long the chapter is going to go on and glancing ahead to see if it ends with a quiz. Particularly notable is the prose: flowing, easy to read, a comfortable narrative. You get a sense of the author relaxed in an easy chair, his audience gathered about, attentive ears regaled with true tales of valor, intrigue, and conquest. But you will find no glorification of war between these covers; rather a well-balanced rendering of man at his best within his worst.
“Great Battles” is well researched, factual, and untainted with retroactive speculation and subjective parochialism that pervade some of today’s ‘historical’ accounts. In short, a valuable addition to any homeschool or military historian’s library; highly recommended.

FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
