"Zuerst ziehen, dann denken" - Das klingt zunächst mal wie die Aussage eines Patzers. Oberflächlich betrachtet, ist es wohl auch so. Aber in diesem Buch geht es nicht um das einfach wahllose ziehen von Figuren, sondern darum, Automatismen zu entdecken. Wenn wir beispielsweise unser Leben lang auf den Zug 1.e4 mit dem Zug 1...e5 antworten, dann ziehen wir diesen Zug, ohne zu überlegen. Genau hier setzt dieses Buch an. Nicht suchen, sondern wissen. Wer meinte, dass in den heutigen Schachbüchern immer wieder das gleiche steht, dem wird mit dieser Lektüre das Gegenteil bewiesen. Schach hat viele Themen und das vorliegende Buch präsentiert ein komplett Neues. Absolute Kaufempfehlung !

The chess instruction establishment claims that all you need to do is concentrate on the characteristics of a position. Stick to some rules of thumb and good moves will pop up more or less automatically.
But that is not how it works, finds International Master Willy Hendriks. Chess players, both weak and strong, don’t first make a plan before looking at candidate moves. Trial and error is a very common and in fact highly effective way to get to the best move.
In his journey into the chess-playing mind, Hendriks uses recent scientific insights in the working of our brain. He raises a number of intriguing questions:
• Can you, too (whether you are talented or not), become a grandmaster?
• Why does a chess trainer’s advice often sound like a horoscope?
• Can you find strong moves by ticking off a to-do list?
• Is it possible to reach master level without ever making a plan?
Presents a wealth of valuable, no-nonsense training material. In this refreshing, entertaining and highly instructive book, Willy Hendriks shows how you can travel light on the road to chess improvement!
International Master Willy Hendriks (1966) has been working as a chess trainer for over 25 years. Inspired by recent developments in the cognitive sciences, he challenges the conventional wisdom in chess instruction.
Steve Giddins, author of 50 Ways to Win at Chess:
“What a fantastic book! I have not enjoyed reading an instructional book so much in years. I was laughing out loud throughout, because it is very witty, but it is also a really important instructional volume.”
