MAGNUS CARLSEN - THE CHESS DNA OF A GENIUS - KA...

Since there is already so much literature about Magnus Carlsen  one wonders why the author
added yet another book. - Because he found it extremely interesting to look at the strategic
play of a genius through the lens of the so-called 'model of the four types of players'. And as
a result  he actually managed to illustrate both the outstanding strengths and the universality
of the 16th world champion. But even if the reader isn't necessarily interested in this
approach  he might as well consider the book an extremely useful 'textbook on strategy' given
how instructive Magnus Carlsen's games are. Because according to his style  he masters many
strategically indispensable and effective methods (for example active prophylaxis  strategic
pressure play  etc.) like no other. In order to go deeper  the author has formulated numerous
clear and meaningful rules of thumb on the various topics. However  he does not fail to point
out that in chess  knowing this or that rule by heart is not the most important thing. Rather 
it's crucial to train your intuition to recognize as reliably as possible when you are dealing
with a standard case and when with an exception. And since Magnus Carlsen's skills can also be
described as absolutely brilliant in this respect  it goes without saying that any reader who
delves a little deeper into Carlsen's games can learn a great deal about the subtleties of
chess from one of the greatest players of all time Each chapter is rounded off with
topic-related exercises. And practical QR codes make it easier to work directly on your
smartphone whenever there's no board at hand.
