Highly Original Thinking is Paul Motwani's description of the acronym-based approach he advocates for chess thinking.
Those who play H.O.T. chess will build up a whole armoury of mnemonics to help them concentrate on key chessboard issues, even in the full heat of battle. Using these concepts you will "automatically" give due thought to king safety, pawn structure, etc., and so come to a more useful, objective assessment of positions.
His ideas extend beyond the situation on the board, maximising your strengths and exploiting your opponent's weakness.

Der Titel H.O.T. Chess, eine Abkürzung für "Highly Original Thinking", charakterisiert eine Vorliebe des ersten schottischen Schachgroßmeisters, nämlich die Memotechnik, die schon die römischen Rhetoren gerne benutzten. Anhand eingängiger Gedächtnishilfen soll der Leser stets an wichtige Aspekte des praktischen Schachspiels erinnert werden. So helfen die "The four S" für Safety (Sicherheit - des Königs), Scope (Reichweite - der Figuren), Space (Raum), Structure (-Bauernstruktur) etwa bei der objektiven Stellungsbeurteilung, während F.A.C.E. (Fear, Allegro, Consistency, Enjoy) auch subjektive Komponenten wie Kampfeinstellung und Motivation berücksichtigt. Seine Prinzipien erläutert Motwani vor allem an achtunddreißig ausführlich kommentierten Partien, wobei kleine Aufgaben, Anekdoten oder Turniervorfälle das Material auflockern. Daß der Schotte sehr unterhaltsam zu schreiben versteht, zeigen weiter Gedichte (etwa zur Berechnung der Kreisfläche), eine geträumte Partie oder Spielerbeschreibungen wie die von Jeroen Piket, der bei seiner Eröffnungsvorbereitung wohl mehr Systeme erforscht hat als Captain Kirk.
Ein ebenso unterhaltsames wie lehrreiches Schachbuch, in gewohnter Batsford-Qualität, das Lust auf die versprochene Fortsetzung des Schotten macht. Die soll dann C.O.O.L. Chess heißen!Helmut Riedl, Rochade Europa 1/97
