Product Description

Product Description
International Chess Master Jeremy Silman tests a player's strengths and weaknesses with 131 problems that cover openings, middlegames (both positional and tactical), and endgames. As a player completes a problem, he or she may then turn to consult Silman's lengthy answer to the problem, which is always detailed yet never dry. Through this process of problem solving, analysis and advice, a player is led to discover the major flaws imbedded in his or her play. Through this same process, a player is also led to an understanding of Silman's system of thinking about the game, and how it differs from many other systems of chess thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent interactive teaching about chess strategy, 10 Dec 2001
I am not a complete disciple of Silman's "Imbalances" concept of chess strategy, but it is a really good place to start, and this book is a really good way to develop your grasp of the methodology. (By the way, that is me calling it a methodology, not Silman; he has none of that pompous air about him, and neither does he call it "Imbalances (TM)" !).

The book consists of a brief review of the method (about 40 pages), then about 80 pages of problems, then a couple of hundred pages discussing the solutions. It is the solutions section which is so valuable: rather than a dry "the correct move is Nxe5" or "Option A is the right choice" you sometimes get in quizzes, there is a very substantial discussion and analysis of each case. This gives the book an interactive feel, in that your ideas are in effect compared and contrasted with those in the "right" line.

The bulk of the book is about strategy rather than tactics. A wide variety of situations are covered, in all three of the opening, middlegame and endgame.

It strikes me that this book might be a better place for youngsters to start on Silman's ideas than his other more deeply instructional books, since youngsters are usually impatient to "get on with it", and here they can do just that and receive a lot of instruction and feedback at the same time.
