Danger In Chess: How to Avoid Making Blunders

by Amatzia Avni

One false move, and you're dead - as in other games, chess is fraught with situations in which the wrong reaction leads directly to defeat. However, unlike most other games, chess's most dangerous moments are often subtle and easily overlooked. This volume offers players at every level guidance on how to develop an early warning system. Its advice is structured around three main outside (the opponent); inside (the player's own thought process); and the stimulus itself(the board position). The author, an Israeli psychologist and FIDE Master, shows players how to identify actual and potential hazards and how detecting them can be use not only to bolster defense but also as an attack strategy. --- from book's back cover
