    Современные секреты подготовки гроссмейстеров. Предисловие Г.Каспарова. В книге заслуженного тренера РСФСР и Грузинской ССР, международного мастера М.И. Дворецкого, воспитавшего целую плеяду мастеров высокого класса, обобщен опыт его тренерской работы. В своих анализах Дворецкий стремится не только выявить секреты конкретных позиций, но и вскрыть суть более общих, малоизученных пока явлений в шахматах: будь то, например, проблема подготовки к соревнованиям или даже принципы самого анализа. В главах об анализе отложенных позиций впервые, наверное, делается попытка проникнуть в самую суть такого анализа. Тема второй части книги - эндшпиль. В последнем разделе книги особенно интересны главы о разыгрывании позиций. Неординарное отношение ко многим вопросам современной теории и практики, попытка проникнуть в самую суть анализа, а также психологию творческого процесса делают данную работу весьма актуальной и полезной для шахматистов любой квалификации.
