Grandmaster Preparation – Positional Play

Descripción

Grandmaster Preparation – Positional Play have there been times during a game when you have tried to calculate like mad, but can find no rhyme or reason to your lines?

Have you ever felt that the computer’s suggestions in your post-mortem analysis make no sense to you?

Ever felt like the man with a hammer, suspecting that the world may not be made up entirely of nails after all?

Grandmaster Preparation – Positional Play

In Positional Play Jacob Aagaard shares his simple three-step tool of positional analysis that he has used with club players and famous grandmasters to improve their

positional decision-making.

Working from the starting point that all players who aspire to play at international level have a certain amount of positional understanding, Aagaard lays out an easy-to-follow

training plan that will improve everyone’s intuition and positional decision-making.

ECF and ChessCafe Book of the Year awards. He is a FIDE Senior Trainer, and on his retirement from professional chess

he has taken up the post as trainer for the Danish elite. His training material is used by amateurs, grandmasters and World Champions alike.

The Grandmaster Preparation series is aimed at ambitious players.

Grandmaster Preparation – Positional Play

First of all I would like to congratulate the readers of this book on making a very good choice! As with all books by Jacob Aagaard, this is a quality work! It combines clear explanations

and carefully selected material, mainly from very recent games, which you won’t find in other books. As a chess trainer, I know how difficult it is to find good positional exercises.

(On the contrary it seems a relatively easy task to look for tactical positions – computers are a big help in showing us how poorly we can play chess!)

The examples from this book will make the life of chess trainers a little bit easier and the life of their students and readers much more interesting!
