Yusupov's award-winning
| Learn from Bent Larsen by Mihail MarinBent 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. Mihail Marin is a grandmaster from Romania. His books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world’s finest chess authors. 304 pages - Published (hardcover) 9 November 2022 Paperback ISBN 978-1-78483-150-9 Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-78483-151-6

"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."
