A practical Guide to making positional decisions
2004, 192 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch Throughout a game of chess, we must constantly make judgements and decisions that cannot be determined simply by calculation. We must then rely on our positional judgement. Good positional skills are primarily developed by experience, but they can also be learnt. In this book, Carsten Hansen provides a wealth of advice and ideas that will give readers a helping-hand up to new levels of positional understanding. Paramount in this discussion is the player's need to weigh up positional elements at the board, and decide which are most important for the situation at hand. Topics include: - The Quest for Weaknesses
- What is the Initiative?
- Understanding Imbalances
- The Relative Value of the Pieces
- Decisions regarding Pawn-Structures
- Structural Weaknesses
- Where and How to Attack
The book is rounded off with exercises to test your understanding of the concepts discussed, together with full solutions.
