Can a chess move be both irrational and brilliant? Can a move which looks like it has been played by an absolute beginner actually be the brainchild of a world champion? Noam A. Manella and Zeev Zohar certainly believe so, and here they present an abundance of instructive and entertaining examples. The authors select and examine moves which at first sight appear illogical, absurd or, in their language, 'drunk'! These moves seem to contradict fundamental chess principles, and yet in many cases they are played by world-class grandmasters on their way to convincing wins. In each example the authors answer the key question: Inspired or Drunk? Is the move a vital component of a masterpiece, or simply the result of confused and muddled thinking? Studying this book will enhance your understanding of chess strategy and thought processes. Free your mind of inflexibility and join the authors on a fascinating journey through chess creativity. *A treasure trove of brilliant chess ideas *Improve your chess creativity and vision *Covers opening, middlegame and endgame play
