The Inner Game of Chess
How to Calculate and WinEn til av stormester Andrew Soltis sine tidlige klassikere i ny utgave, riktignok bare litt oppdatert og justert fra den opprinnelige i 1994.
Soltis klarer mer enn de fleste en troverdig balanse mellom det faglig holdbare og det praktisk tilgjengelige for oss vanlige folk.
Forlagets egen omtale
PDF-utdragDo masters methodically cut their way through the branches of a tree of analysis? Is it true that attacking players calculate a dozen moves ahead, while positional specialists rely on abstract principles? What exactly does it mean to “calculate,” anyway?
In The Inner Game of Chess, GM Andy Soltis shows that the key to good calculation is good visualization of the position in front of us and then after the moves we’re considering. Being aware of tactical motifs; knowing when to stop looking; and verifying your chosen move are essential, but they all depend on the basic requirement to see clearly what’s going on. The author discusses common obstacles to clear visualization and offers techniques to overcome them in your own play.
This 21st-century edition of Soltis’s celebrated work features new material and revised diagrams and analysis, while retaining all the insights that made The Inner Game of Chess an instant classic. About the Author
