Today’s young players have benefited greatly from working with chess computers. There is little doubt that advanced software and electronic training programs have significantly contributed to the rise of the standards of play.
But there is a downside as well. Many young players think that computer analysis is the best and fastest way to find the truth in any position on the board. Inevitably, they have gradually stopped thinking and analysing for themselves.
Russian chess trainer Alexander Kalinin argues that in order to make real progress you don't need more compuer input, but increased understanding. To discover the ultimate secrets of chess you must (re)develop the habit of using your own brain.
In this practical guide, Kalinin shows players seeking the master title how concrete knowledge leads to improved decisions at the board. He provides a wealth of training material, the bulk of which has never been published before. kalinin reveals the mistakes he himself made as a Candidate Master and mostly uses games of players on the road to chess mastery.
