    The book of an outstanding grandmaster and brilliant chess popularizer Alexander Kotov has already gained religious status. Talking about the principles of positional and combination games and illustrating them with examples, the author does not limit himself to explaining why this or that move is good or bad. He also shows the very process of the birth of grandiose designs in the grandmaster’s head, and also directs a powerful research beam to the dark corners of the brain, from which sometimes foolish errors ruin these ideas. The tone of the book is also surprising - a confidential one, built on a frank presentation of not always smoothly combed thoughts. What helps a strong chess player to penetrate the depths of the position and make a correct game plan for many moves ahead? Due to what he manages to accurately and far count puzzling, branching options? What means does he use to avoid hasty rash decisions? Kotov thoroughly answers these crucial questions, and at the end of the book gives general recommendations that are of particular value to young chess players. Using the advice of Kotov, more than one generation of chess lovers learned to discipline their thinking and better understand the game. Now it's your turn, dear reader!
