This title is contemporarily sold out. Again expected in April-May 2024. From the cover: the chess instruction establishment claims that all you need to do is concentrate on the characteristics of a position. Stick to some rules of thumb and good moves will pop up more or less automatically. But that is not how it works, finds International Master Willy Hendriks. Chess players, both weak and strong, do not first make a plan before looking at candidate moves. Trial and error is a very common and in fact highly effective way to get to the best move... The book was first published in 2012 as a paperback and was awarded Book of the Year by the English Chess Federation. This third edition is the first to be published as a hardcover. IM Willy Hendriks has worked as a coach for 30 years and is also respected as an author - he has written books such as The Ink War and On the Origin of Good Moves.
