Which side stands better? How much better? Why? Most chess players rely on loosely knit, unstructured methods to evaluate chess pieces and positions. They learn positional principles which often lead to inaccurate evaluations and faulty decisions about how to proceed. This groundbreaking book by best-selling chess author Dan Heisman addresses the evaluation and understanding of how static features affect the value of the pieces in a given position. Emphasis is placed on the static evaluation of each piece s value and its role in the overall position rather than the assessment of a specific position, but Heisman s approach can also be applied to help evaluate entire positions by helping to answer the questions who stands better, by how much, and why?

How many moves can YOU see ahead? This has always been a problem for the majority of players. Complicated evaluations are not possible if the simple ones can't be handled. It's not really a question of the quantity of analysis, but the QUALITY of analysis. It's necessary to understand what must be eliminated, when principles are a must, and to have goals or plans. In all of this, calculation is unavoidable. But calculation must withstand the constraints of time and reasonableness. Typically, too many players use intuition more and calculation less, because it becomes nearly impossible to keep track of all the branches on the analysis-tree. How does one look deeper and deeper to fathom the intricacies of a position? Buy this book and find out!
