Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Everyone loses chess games occasionally, but all too often we lose a game due to moves that, deep down, we knew were flawed. Why do we commit these chess-board sins Are they the result of general misconceptions about chess and how it should be played And how can we recognize the warning signs better In this thought-provoking and entertaining book, Jonathan Rowson investigates, in his inimitable style, the main reasons why chess-players sometimes go horribly astray, focusing on the underlying psychological pitfalls:\* Thinking (unnecessary or erroneous)\* Blinking (missing opportunities; lack of resolution)\* Wanting (too much concern with the result of the game)\* Materialism (lack of attention to non-material factors)\* Egoism (insufficient awareness of the opponent and his ideas)\* Perfectionism (running short of time; trying too hard)\* Looseness ('losing the plot'; drifting; poor concentration)Jonathan Rowson became Scotland's third grandmaster in late 1999, within months of graduating from Oxford University. He was runner-up in the 1997 European Junior Championship, Scottish Champion in 1999 and winner of the Canadian Open in 2000. Rowson's first book, Understanding the Grünfeld, has been highly praised for the quality and originality of his writing, and freshness of approach.
