Street Smart Chess

Descripción

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.

Axel Smith is the award-winning author of The Woodpecker Method, Pump Up Your Rating and e3

Poison, which were all enthusiastically received by readers and reviewers. Using the Woodpecker as part

of his training, as an adult he improved from a rating of 2100 to becoming a Grandmaster.
