Do you instinctively know what to do in every type of chess position, or are you often uncertain about how to proceed?
Wouldn't it be really useful to know all the best chess strategies, and to recognize when we should use them?
In this book, Sam Collins examines key games from both the classical and modern eras. He analyses the major strategic ideas that have stood the test of time and notes their considerable influence on his own games. Studying classic examples from great players allows us to create a personal library of standard ideas. This helps us recognize key positions, making it easier to determine the most effective ways to attack and defend. Crucially, it helps us find the right path much more quickly than we would by relying on calculation alone.
