The Inner Game of Chess: How to Calculate and Win (McKay Chess Library)

The Inner Game of Chess: How to Calculate and Win (McKay Chess Library) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Every player has heard the saying, "Chess is 99 percent tactics." It isn't.

It's 99 percent calculation. But until now there has never been a book devoted entirely to this most mysterious and essential chess technique.

This book examines both the technical and practical aspects of how to think ahead — the selection of candidate moves, the evaluation of end positions, finding the proper move order, and the like.

Special attention is paid to the broad range of calculating mistakes, such as overlooked zwischenzugs and "quiet moves," visualization blunders, and "believing" your opponent.

Synopsis:

How to use tactics to achieve strategic goals, with many striking examples.

About the Author

Andrew Soltis is an International Grandmaster, a former U.S. Open Champion, and the author of more than seventy books. He writes an award-winning column for Chess Life magazine.
