Street Smart Chess is an expert guide to scoring more points at the chessboard. When does it pay

off to play hard for a win? Or safe for a draw? And how do you adapt your playing style accordingly?

 

GM Axel Smith answers these questions, and more, by using a world-class player as a model for

each chapter. Learn how Magnus Carlsen grinds out wins from level positions; how David Navara

beats lower- rated opponents, and how Baskaran Adhiban beats higher-rated ones! Or serve-and-

volley in the opening like Peter Heine Nielsen.

 

Playing well is a good start in chess, but you also need to be Street Smart.
