A look inside the chess thinking-process
This book investigates how chess-players find good ideas. Amatzia Avni, a
psychologist by profession, pursues this goal by interviewing top players and
analysts. The discussion focuses on their most interesting and instructive games
and compositions.
Avni has been careful to allow his interviewees to convey their own thoughts,
rather than direct their answers to comply with any pre-existing theories. We
experience the events on the board through the vivid recollections of the
player. This gives us a realistic view of each struggle and how the critical
decisions were really made.
Avni also presents the players with some unfamiliar positions, and records
their reactions upon encountering these new situations. Once we have heard from
the grandmasters, Avni discusses the essence of what was said, and provides some
insights and recommendations.
