MOVE FIRST THINK LATER - WILLY HENDRIKS GEBUNDEN

Winner of the ECF Book of the Year Award 2012. Now available in hardcover! 3rd Edition - with a
new epilogue: 'The Discussion Continues'  The chess instruction establishment claims that all
you need to do is concentrate on the characteristics of a position. Stick to some rules of
thumb and good moves will pop up more or less automatically.  But that is not how it works 
finds International Master Willy Hendriks. Chess players  both weak and strong  don't first
make a plan before looking at candidate moves. Trial and error is a very common and in fact
highly effective way to get to the best move.  In his journey into the chess-playing mind 
Hendriks uses recent scientific insights in the working of our brain. He raises a number of
intriguing questions:  ? Can you  too (whether you are talented or not)  become a grandmaster?
? Why does a chess trainer's advice often sound like a horoscope? ? Can you find strong moves
by ticking off a to-do list? ? Is it possible to reach master level without ever making a plan?
Presents a wealth of valuable  no-nonsense training material. In this refreshing  entertaining
and highly instructive book  Willy Hendriks shows how you can travel light on the road to chess
improvement!
