Presentazione dell'Editore

If you want to excel at chess, you have to delve deeper, and appreciate not only visually pleasing combinations, but much more subtle positional ideas as well � writes Daniel Naroditsky (1995) in this book.

Daniel is a unique talent. He became World Junior Chess Champion in 2007, and now, at the age of 14, he is also the youngest published chess author in history.

Mastering Positional Chess is a serious, but entertaining chess instruction book. Daniel started writing it when he realized that his lack of positional understanding was causing him to lose many games.

Despite his young age, Daniel’s mature style and systematic method of working stand out. He gives crystal-clear, verbal explanations on the essence of positional chess, thus showing himself to be a born writer and instructor.

This refreshingly original book contains six chapters on the important positional aspects of chess, with many attractive games and fragments from Daniel’s own games, but also from games by top players like Kasparov, Karpov, Topalov and Petrosian.

Naroditsky's course covers the following subjects:

Prophyaxis
Defense in worse positions
Building and breaking fortresses
Positional sacrifice
Paralysis in the middlegame
Maneuvering.

There are many exercises and summaries throughout the book.

In a special preface Daniel’s parents tell the story behind this book, which teaches chess skills every club player needs in order to win more games.

IM John Donaldson:
"In some ways, a book from earlier times in that it offers the reader a significant amount of explanatory prose. Yes, analysis is given, but only what is needed, not more. The author repeatedly reinforces the points he wishes to make not only through the illustrative games he offers, but also in the summaries and the exerices."

B.H.Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad:
"Club players, the target group of this book, will be able to work on improving their positional skills by using the great games, the summaries and the exercises."

John Saunders, British Chess Magazine:
"You would never guess that he was so young when he wrote it as it is imbued with a great deal of understanding of the game and expressed in good, plain English."

Marshtower Chess Reviews:
"This book will suit improving club players who are prepared to work on building up their positional skills. Is it possible that an author so young has sufficient wisdom to impart such knowledge? As far as this book goes, the answer is an unequivoical 'yes'."

GM Simen Agdestein:
"The book is quite excellent. It is easy to understand and contains a good collection of illustrative examples of how you can improve your positional understanding."
