Understanding the Human Factor Most chess books give you a chapter and verse on how to understand chess better, but pay little attention to how your behaviour and psychological outlook - before, during and after a game - can affect your standard of play. Author Amatzia Avni addresses the latter issue head on, covering:
The setting of goals
Handling spectators
Dealing with losses
Motivational aspects
Cause-effect analysis
The search for behavioural clues.
Drawing on research findings, strong players' descriptions, as well as the views of the psychologist author, Practical Chess Psychology covers this much-neglected human aspect of chess. A better understanding of the psychology of chess playing as well as chess theory will assist players at club and tournament level to maximise their chess strengths.
