ReviewsOne wonders if many players, especially time-limited amateurs, might not do better to adopt Andersson's approach emphasizing overall understanding in place of memorizing lots of sharp opening theory. Strongly recommended., From Andersson, better than from anyone else, one learns pure chess, without being distracted by tactical coincidences., The choice of the games is just as good as the penetrating analysis and the didactic presentation. The authors unlock the essential characteristics of each position by showing the ideas behind the moves., Positional precepts are often a mystery to many a player, but Kaufeld and Kern's explanations are so percipient that average players will come to a deeper understanding of the concepts of positional play. There are few books that speak to its audience in such an accessible manner., If this was just a collection of his games, I would be high on the book. However, the authors took things to another level by offering 80 of his finest games, but also making each one a lesson. The notes are simple and clear, and the writers go out of their way to explain all the key positional features so you can follow what's going on and learn from it. Adding greatly to the instructional value are test diagrams., A good mixture of prose and variations. The book is both an anthology of best games and a teaching text on positional chess. It can be enjoyed on many levels., Reading Grandmaster Chess Strategy is an invigorating experience which will stimulate your positional vision and make you appreciate the subtle features of chess., The annotations are ideally suited for the average player - clear verbal explanations, supplemented by sufficient, but still relatively few, variations.
