So I decided to read this book and see if it could help me out somewhat. Most of what I gained from this book was the idea of a plan. It doesn't necessarily have to be Checkmate. Silman is a fan of looking at imbalances and seeing what the board has to offer and responding accordingly. So he takes some games from Masters and goes over them, followed by a section where one of his rated students go and try to copy the moves. Silman also does one better by telling the student to say what they are thinking and why they did what they did. So they annotate their moves and then Silman chimes in with his own input. It's pretty well done, but as I am terrible at this game, I don't really have much else to say. IM Jeremy Silman is a fine instructor, author of numerous popular books on chess, and an engaging writer. His technique in this book is to take games from tournament play and give them, move by move, to his students, asking them for their evaluations and observations along with planned moves and ideas for progress. It is refreshing and interesting reading for students of chess. I would place this instruction at the mid to strong club player level. I agree that this book should be included in any list of contemporary chess instruction literature of interest to mid-level players. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
This book takes the student on a journey through his own mind and returns him to the chess board with a wealth of new-found knowledge and the promise of a significant gain in strength. Most amateurs possess erroneous thinking processes that remain with them throughout their chess lives. These flaws in their mental armour result in stinging defeats and painful reversals. Books can be bought and studied, lessons can be taken -- but in the end, these elusive problems always prove to be extremely difficult to eradicate. Seeking a solution to this dilemma, the author wrote down the thoughts of his students while they played actual games, analysed them, and catalogued the most common misconceptions that arose. This second edition greatly expands on the information contained in the popular first edition. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The basis of Silman's chess philosophy is identifying imbalances (both temporary and permanent) and then making plans to take advantage of the imbalances while denying the opponent the use of their imbalances.
The book goes through chapter by chapter over different imbalances, and then discusses some weakness in amateur chess play (such as mindless King hunters and playing on the right side of the board that one's play has led to).
Finally, the book ends with 26 chess problems, with in depth analysis of each problem.
Highly recommended for the amateur player to develop and improve their game. ( )
