True Lies in Chess cover

For the author, chess is about more than just winning as many games as possible, it is a creative search for the truth. In True Lies in Chess, Comas Fabrego takes on the challenging task of separating the truth from lies in chess literature. Guided by many practical examples and clear advice, the readers will learn how to reduce the complexity of chess towards the essential features of each position, and so improve their play.

"one of the best books published in the last ten years" -- Andy Ansel, Chess Today


"If, as Jonathan Rowson thinks, serious improvement at chess can only take place if we free ourselves from habitual patterns of positional assessment, there can be no better guide to this 'defamiliarisation' process than Comas. And True Lies is also a delight to read… a treasure-trove of highlights" -- James Vigus, British Chess Magazine
"There are several other useful novelties, each worth the cost of the book… Highly Recommended" -- IM John Donaldson
"a delightful smorgasbord… very well produced, as can be expected from Quality Chess… Grandmaster Comas Fabregó's first book… I hope he is already working on another one." -- Rick Kennedy, ChessV
