Overview
Finding strong moves doesn't simply depend on how much a chess player knows about chess. In fact, greater conceptual knowledge makes choosing a move more complex as it increases the number of directions the mind can take. More important is optimizing the thought process. Grandmaster Joel Benjamin knows that pointing out the moves his students missed is just half the job. They need to understand that they were looking in the wrong direction. This book will improve the structure and effectiveness of the chess players decision making process.
