Product Description
DIVDIVAs a professional journalist and popular chess author, International Master Andrew Soltis is perhaps the best qualified to collect and edit this treasury of chess wisdom through the ages. With quotations running the gamut from timeless irony (#8220;The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.#8221;#8212;Anonymous) to pithy advice (#8220;To get squares, ya gotta give squares.#8221;#8212;Bobby Fischer), each nugget of wisdom is accompanied by a chess position illustrating the idea behind it. Divided into chapters on Calculation, Intuition, Strategy, Position Evaluation, Openings, Sacrifices, Attitude, Endgames, Mistakes, Studying, Time Management, and Tournament Tactics, this is a book that chess fans will appreciate as much for its memorable wit as for its practical lessons.BR/DIV/DIV

0 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a rather unique chess book. Andre Soltis has filled this book with 288 ideas and general principles. For each idea, we get story behind the idea and an instructive example with one or several diagrams. This is an easy, instructive and historical chess book which is fun to read. Can you ask for more? For chess players rated 0-3000 :-)
