Most chess books aim the guide and instruct by offering principles, rules, schemes and theories. "Creative Chess", on the other hand, has a quite different and original approach. It firmly maintains that every chessplayer, whether amateur or master, is capable of creating something new in chess.
After a discussion of the characteristics and processes of creativity, 10 central concepts, such as unusual positioning and functioning of pieces, alertness to subtle differences, absurd moves, flexibility, etc., are presented with a wealt of truly amazing examples to encourage the reader to broaden the horizons of his chess thinking.
With further chapters on techniques for developing creativity, analysis of particalarly creative games and test.yourself positions, the author, an Israeli chessmaster, prominten study composer and organisational psycholist argues that you too can play creative chess.

Eine Neuausgabe des exzellenten und anregenden Werkes aus dem Jahre 1991, angereichert durch fünf weitere Kapitel. Der israelische Meister und Studienkomponist Amatzia Avni untersucht die Grenze zwischen logischem Denken und dem Finden der "Ausnahme von der Regel" anhand vieler taktischer Stellungen. Man findet Themen wie ungewöhnliche Postierung und Funktion von Figuren, "zielorientiertes Denken" (d.h. sich vorzustellen, wo man eine Figur im Verlauf der Partie postieren möchte, unabhängig von der aktuellen Position), oder die Suche nach der Logik hinter scheinbar absurden Zügen. Die 161 Beispiele und Kompositionen wurden sorgfältig ausgewählt, um beim Leser nach und nach kreatives Potential zu wecken; gleichzeitig hat sich Avni - von Beruf Psychologe - viel Mühe gegeben, den Leser zu unterhalten. Das Resultat, einschließlich einiger Korrekturen der ersten Ausgabe, ist das ideale Handbuch für alle Schachbegeisterten: ein Buch, das viel Spaß bereitet, da man sozusagen "en passant" lernt, während der eigene (Schach-)Horizont erweitert wird.British Chess Magazine
