The Thinking Process in Chess: Exercises and Insights from a Coach's Perspective (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789493435247)

The purpose of The Thinking Process in Chess is to provide a resource to aid in development of
chess skill for advanced players. The benefit can be twofold: first, the
exercise of concrete calculation and evaluation skill by solving the positions.
Second, the absorption of more general concepts provided in the solutions on
the basis of concrete examples. We have always tried to take a specific example and not
only explain it in itself, but also try to help the reader see what lessons for
chess thinking processes in general can be derived from it. There is not a
single overarching theme these exercises are supposed to illustrate, but the
recurring motif is striving for optimal activity above all. This, in author's evaluation, is not so much the feature of these specific positions, but rather
the result the nature of chess as a game that always turns out to reward active
and attacking play above purely material or defensive concerns
