FUNDAMENTAL CHESS STRATEGY IN 100 GAMES

Descripción

This book will bring something new to your chess library. In our computer era, focus is usually on

openings. Watching recent broadcasts, the new generation would rather choose games of a certain

opening and look for an interesting idea or even a brilliant novelty. I offer, and recommend, a different

concept altogether, based on the famous Soviet school of chess. The focus should be on understanding

strategical concepts, principles and underlying logic. Fashionable opening lines will be forgotten (or re-

evaluated) sooner or later, but understanding cannot be lost, and can be only upgraded. It is sad to see

some players that are well equipped with opening lines, who are unable to realise a big positional

advantage in an endgame. So, our advice is to concentrate on Strategy and Logic.

 

This book is highly recommended for club players, advanced players and masters, although even higher

rated players may also find it useful. There is no doubt that lower rated players will learn a lot about

thinking processes and decision making, while some logical principles can be put to use by more

advanced players too.
