Item description from seller

Paperback. Shortlisted for the FIDE Book of the Year Award Is chess a logical game? What constitutes an advantage in chess? How can we set problems and create psychologically difficult situations for the opponent? These are big questions, and Erik Kislik tackles them and others head-on in this thought-provoking, thoroughly modern, and original work. He answers the first of those questions with a resounding 'yes!'. His assessments focus on concrete points: pawn-structure, material imbalance and compensation. Even though the analytical proofs may be complex, he repeatedly shows that these elements are the keys to evaluating positions and forming plans. As the trainer of players ranging from high-level grandmasters to average club-players, Kislik is very strong on providing practical guidance on topics such as how best to use chess software, choosing hardware, getting psychologically ready for a game and preparing for specific opponents. He is always willing to boldly state his views, even when they run contrary to conventional chess wisdom. "I was excited by this book because of the way all of the ideas are intertwined and you get very concrete advice . Everything is applicable and it is easy to see how it applies to the real world." - from the Foreword by GM Hjoervar Steinn Gretarsson. One of the worlds top chess trainers offers practical advice on an enormous range of topics, including computer use, preparation and psychology. Erik Kislik is originally from California and lives in Budapest, Hungary. He has worked with many leading grandmasters, including assisting World Champion Magnus Carlsen with his opening preparation. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
