"Besides being a very witty account of one chess-player's 'career', this book primarily aims to help the reader discover how to make the most of one's ability. Without drowning the reader in endless analysis, we have tried to cover all the practical points concerning playing chess..."
"How to assess your strengths and weaknesses, how to avoid blunders and time trouble, how to strike a balance between caution and optimism; when to play quickly or slowly, when to offer draws and when to accept them. This book aims to give some of the answers to the questions chessplayers of all strengths constantly ask themselves."

John Emms - International Master
