The Complete Manual of Positional Chess Volume 2  (English, Paperback, Sakaev Konstantin)

The Complete Manual of Positional Chess, probably the most thorough grounding in the history of teaching chess, was recently created for chess teachers at the DYSS, the special sports school for young talents in Russia. Konstantin Sakaev and Konstantin Landa present a complete set of instructions and tips for trainers and self-improvers. The reader will learn not only how to enhance fundamental knowledge and technical skills, but also how to work on physical and psychological conditioning. The book is full of basic and advanced tools to improve in a wide array of areas, like handling different pawn structures, exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's position, attacking the enemy king, detecting dynamics and tactical motifs, finding resources for defence and counterattack in precarious positions and, last but not least restricting the role the chess computer plays in our life.
