I have too many books where it’s far too easy to look at the solutions after only a few minutes of “looking” at the problem. I am at the point where I have read all the Silman, Kotov and other’s theories on positional analysis. I needed practice in applying this knowledge more. I do OTB games at a club once a week. But to stay in shape beyond merely doing tactics, I wanted a book that forced me to think. Its tough but well worth it. <BR/>The first sections are on endgame techniques and looks at key positions. Subtle variations in these key positions are nice because it makes you think about the game. I work those like I do the tactical puzzles I train with. Only when I think I have the right answer along with a few prime variations, do I plug the position into Fritz ( or an online endgame datatbase) for validation. <BR/>The second section is the middle game positions derived from the 60 classic games the author thinks are worth committing to memory. Here, I set up a chess board and set the clock as if I am playing these games. <BR/><BR/>The last section has the games listed. I am in the process of entering them into a database and annotating them. <BR/><BR/>So far, I find that I am getting more accurate and confident with my ability to correctly analyze the position OTB. <BR/><BR/>I hope this helps.BlunderPronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316158004635698398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-4124320414330543882007-04-05T08:45:00.000-05:002007-04-05T08:45:00.000-05:00Very nice game!
