NLP for chess
by Axel Rombaldoni
Non chiedete ad Axel Rombaldoni di guardare gli scacchi con occhi che non siano nuovi: semplicemente non ne è capace. Nella sua opera prima, il Grande Maestro pesarese condivide con il lettore il percorso che lo ha portato a vincere il titolo di Campione Italiano nel 2014 e ne trae utili strumenti per pianificare il proprio allenamento scacchistico. Il principale protagonista del libro è il ‘Cerchio degli Scacchi’, un innovativo strumento di autovalutazione sviluppato da Rombaldoni secondo i canoni della Programmazione Neuro-Linguistica (PNL). Non secondariamente, il libro è anche un’occasione per vedere da vicino alcune tra le migliori partite di Axel, uno degli scacchisti più fantasiosi d’Italia.

FictionLike wild beast
by Giuse Alemanno
Oppido Messapico, a small town in deepest Puglia. Costantino Ro chira and his henchmen plan to wipe out the rival mob family, the Sarmenta. It’s all about money and the neighboring Calabrese mob, the ‘Ndrangheta. But the plan works only halfway: by sheer luck the Sarmentas’ only son, Massimo aka Mattanza (Slaughter), a troubled and cruel kid, cheats death, together with his uncles and his cousin Santo. They all leave town on an old Fiat Regata, after clearing the family money and staging their own disappearance. Their trip leads them in the far North of Italy, in Lombardy’s Val Camonica, where an old friend and compatriot, Giovanni Argento, gives them shelter. There, Santo and Mattanza plot their revenge… “Like Wild Beasts” is a tough novel with hard-core nuances, sparing nothing and no one: a Tarantino movie, as told by Giovanni Verga.
