Think Like a Grandmaster

200 pp. A classic chess training manual that teaches players how to analyze positions and calculate variations like a master, focusing on methodical, structured thinking through the 'tree of analysis' and candidate moves, though some modern players find its rigid approach less practical than more intuitive methods. The book, a bestseller since its 1971 publication, covers fundamental concepts like selecting candidate moves, analyzing variations systematically, and positional judgment, making it a foundational text for understanding a grandmaster's work, even if its specific calculation method is debated.
