Written by a young Grand Master, this introduction to chess strategy is aimed primarily at players for whom a game plan is utterly enigmatic.
By isolating the basic elements and illustrating them through a selection of Master and Grand Master games, Simple Chess breaks down the mystique of strategy into easy-to-understand ideas.
More than a lesson in fundamentals, this book illustrates an increasingly prevalent and successful style of play-a method that begins by slowly accumulating small but permanent advantages and saving the outright attack for later in the game.
Newly converted into the current algebraic chess notation, this edition offers a strategic weapon for players at every level of expertise.
New algebraic edition of the work first published by Faber & Faber, London, 1978.
