Most chessplayers would like to win their games by spectacular sacrificial attacks culminating in checkmate. However, the majority of games are in fact decided by the different positional skills of the two players. More often than not, it is only when one side has established a positional advantage that the probability of a successful direct attack emerges.
The Positional Chess Handbook is a complete guide for all players to improve their strategic play. By means of a series of clear examples of ascending difficulty, on themes such as key squares, bad bishops and pawn structures, this book enables the reader to build up an intuitive grasp of each concept. The examples are taken from the author's own coaching manuals, which he has used to great effect in training top Israeli juniors and the successful Israeli women's national team.
