content: I picked this book at a recent Malaysian local PCMM open in Kuala Lumpur. I was interested in the title having read "Excelling in Positional Chess" by Aagard.The chapters started with analysing chess space: Strong Weak Squares, then continuing to Files / Diagonals, 1st and 2nd ranks and outposts. The other chapters discusses specifically on the strenghts/weaknesses of each piece: King, Queen, Rook, and Minor Pieces.I admired his excellent analysis as he is able to illustrate the pivotal square(s) being subtly fought for, and the possible variations. Remember these are GrandMaster vs GrandMaster games and not Amateur vs Master. For those still stuck between 1500-1900, I believe this would be good book to rub off "grandmaster" techniques on your play.However if you are still being caught with opening traps, and knight forks; you are probably under 1500; you should look at other beginner books.Malaysian Chess tournaments - watch out for me this year !!
