Books to be read or, rather, scrolled!
 

Every chessplayer knows that studying a chess book goes through that boring process of executing moves on the chessboard, viewing for variations, then sub-variations, and then restoring the initial position and so on...

Starting from this consideration a staff of chessplayers, programmers and designers created 
Chess Multimedia: a new way to read chess books, in which the book scrolls without a break. 

While you are comfortably sitting in an armchair, a speaker reads the text to you and, just as smoothly, the teaching positions can be seen by a simple click. 

The
electronic book also allows you to do many other things, such as searching for words, adding personal notes, bookmarking, printing, analysing the position with a chess engine, etc. 

Also, at the end you can verify how much you understood by performing tests with or without help (subtle or broad suggestions about the moves to be made, on the key square, about the underlying idea, etc). 
If you wish, you can be assigned an ELO rating in order to monitor your improvement. 

In the
first volume of the series, the Russian GM Averbakh unveils the secrets of all the fundamental endings, so that you will be ready to face the tournament arena up to master level, with a reputable chess learning. 
With
Chess Multimedia you'll get the chance, at last, of comfortably studying chess endings!

The second volume of the series is devoted to chess strategy. Strategy is the foundation of chess. It evolves at the same pace as the game itself, but the classic principles remain unaltered. In this work the Russian International Master Alexander Raetsky achieves a fine synergy between the immortal lessons of great champions of the past and the more advanced  teachings from contemporary tournament competition. In twenty lessons that range from the exploitation of weak squares to the analysis of typical centre formations, from the evaluation of positions to manoeuvring play.

Two new electronic books are in preparation: - The ideas behind the chess openings Vol.1: The Sicilian by GMs Stefan Djuric and Dimitri Komarov  and  Guess the move! by GM Zenon Franco
