Paperback. Zustand: New. This book takes a closer look at the Classic mistakes by amateur playersinclude: 1. Moving a piece too often in the opening. This is one of themainstays which we think relates at least partly to the desire to createsomething in the opening, when we would be better advised to focus on simpledevelopment. 2. Impatience. Sometimes amateur players are too eager to changesomething when there really is no need. 3. Overgeneralizing. One of the biggestdifferences I've noticed when comparing professional play to amateur play is thatthe former is much more about concrete calculation - you go there, we go hereand so on - whereas an amateur player will have a tendency to overgeneralizewhen thinking about a position, perhaps because they are not used to the basicart of calculation. 4. Cutting variations off too quickly. Amateur players donot extend their calculation far enough, and thus superficiality tends to kickin. These and other mistakes are explained in the book. Of course itshould be noted that professional players also make these kinds of mistakes.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Given the changes in the chess world over the last few years I feel that we badly need an update of how to prepare and out-prepare your opponent during a chess tournament.The pandemic giving rise to vastly underrated junior and amateur players. Online chess taking a much more prominent role. Accusations of cheating making the headlines. Social media being used as a tool to educate the chess masses. All these have led to a different landscape, but some things stay the same. The player who is willing to analyse and work on chess harder than the rest will still separate his or herself from their peers. In my view, at least 90 percent of success in tournament play will come down to how good your calculation and analysis is. Because that is the bread and butter of tournament play. This is what I will try to get across in this book, that a chess player will often stand or fall on the quality of analysis and I will discuss the positive and negative role that working with computers has on a player's overall strength. I will also try to explain why my chess fell into a torpor because of an over reliance on computers and how I have recently come to realize that technical deficiencies have often held me back from reaching the higher echelons of the game. And in doing so, and looking at the chess world and trying to explain it from my point of view while following my own progress and that of others I will try to put together a tournament battle plan.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Classic Amateur Mistakes and How to Fix Them is an essential read for the aspiring tournament chess player.Experienced author and coach Grandmaster Daniel Gormally argues that amateur players have a different outlook on chess compared to more experienced and professional players.Due to a lack of confidence in their chess calculation, they often struggle to deal with concrete positions and will succumb to paralysis by analysis. If you ask an amateur player about a typical chess position, they will often waffle on in such a way about the general features of the position to the extent that your eyes will glaze over. Ask a professional player about that same position, and by contrast they will bombard you with variations. In this entertaining, humorous and entertaining read, Gormally gives his reasons why this is and tries to explain how they can improve, as well as also analysing other classic amateur mistakes, like moving a piece too often and not attacking enough.The sum result is a tome that will not only help the amateur player to achieve better results but will also give them a consistent process going forward at the board that they feel comfortable with.…
