Not only is International Grandmaster lossif Dorfman feared as a player; he is even more renowned as one of the world's best chess trainers. Most notably, he has coached Kasparov through four world championships. Today's top grandmasters Veselin Topalov and Etienne Bacrot have counted amongst his pupils - and the latter still does.
In his ground-breaking book "The Method in Chess" the author introduced a small but complete set of basic criteria that are essential in properly evaluating positions. In "The Critical Moment", he puts his theories to test in the most demanding of chess positions: the critical turning points in games, where the decision cannot be delayed, and the player must plan the future course of the game, sometimes even its outcome.
The author only uses high-quality games between top-level players. His careful and often subtle explanations will enable you, the reader, to answer these questions:
- How do I know when I reach a critical moment in my game?
- What measures can I use in evaluating such a position - what really does matter?
- How do 1 decide on my choice, without calculating long variations?
- How do I pick the most promising plan?
lossif Dorfman's long experience in teaching is evident throughout the carefully selected examples. He has no equal in understanding how to turn a gifted amateur into a master.
