Dynamic Chess Strategy

by Mihai Suba

In this enlarged edition of a modern classic (first published in 1991) on the battle of chess ideas, grandmaster Mihai Suba developed the concept of ?dynamic potential? in modern chess strategy. In improving your position on the board the old strategy principles often lead to conflicting conclusions. Suba takes another view on the meaning of, for example, ?bad positions? and ?quiet moves?, and uses a light touch to explain his ideas. With many entertaining and instructive examples the author explores ?the accumulation of potential? as the modern way to get the advantage. A thought-provoking and yet very practical guide.

One of my all time favorite chess books. Before I read this book, I was a "solid" player in the style of Karpov and Capablanca. However, after reading this book I started to play in a much more "energetic" and "dyanamic" style - and was winning more games! Suba goes over many of his games and thoughts and all of the information is quite valuable. Highly recommended!!

Entertainingly written (although some of it is lost in translation), but hardly an instructional manual. The author shows some of his best games but fails to make a convincing case that there is something called "dynamic strategy" versus "dynamic style."

To me it didn't seem there was much 'general' strategy specified, which maybe was the point. I really felt more like this was an analysis of the authors games and the hedgehog and english systems review. For what it was it was a fine game collection I guess, just not what I was expecting.

Explanation not clear enough. Too wordy and mostly beating around the bush.

More of a personal games collection than an instructive text.
