He had it all--talent, skill and motivation. After winning many junior and student tournaments, he went on to play in fourteen Soviet championships at a time when these were considered some of the most powerful competitions in the world. You are now invited to join the author in a very personal autobiographical journey, as he traces his development from one of many gifted chessplaying children to a powerful international grandmaster, a member of the worlds chess elite. For Tukmakov, chess was more than just a hobby or passion--it was his profession. From talented boy and strong grandmaster to twice leading the Ukrainian team to gold medals in the 2004 and 2010 Olympiads, Tukmakovs story is a fascinating glimpse into the golden era of the Soviet School of Chess, and the trials and tribulations of individual will and genius. Included are dozens of photographs and over 40 deeply annotated games against some of the strongest chessplayers in the world.--P.

Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of todays mathematical knowledge. For example, the Gilbreath principle--a fantastic effect where the cards remain in control despite being shuffled--is found to share an intimate connection with the Mandelbrot set. Other card tricks link to the mathematical secrets of combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, topology, the Riemann hypothesis, and even Fermats last theorem. Diaconis and Graham are mathematicians as well as skilled performers with decades of professional experience between them. In this book they share a wealth of conjuring lore, including some closely guarded secrets of legendary magicians. Magical Mathematics covers the mathematics of juggling and shows how the I Ching connects to the history of probability and magic tricks both old and new. It tells the stories--and reveals the best tricks--of the eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic. Magical Mathematics exposes old gambling secrets through the mathematics of shuffling cards, explains the classic street-gambling scam of three-card monte, traces the history of mathematical magic back to the thirteenth century and the oldest mathematical trick--and much more-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668297 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1615593 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668559 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682509 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668904 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1537557 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687117 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1613365 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1683182 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1681687 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1623547 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668560 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1667916 This book is the essential in-depth guide to the characters, weapons, vehicles, events, and planets of the Star Wars galaxy during the turbulent times of the Old Republic.
