Now, this fourth and final edition -- completely rewritten and featuring all new examples -- takes Silmans ground-breaking concept of imbalances to a whole new level. Designed for players in the 1400 to 2100 rating range and for teachers looking for a ready-made chess curriculum, the author shares a mind-expanding journey that takes the reader through imbalance-basics, ensures that every detail of all the imbalances are mastered, and leaves the player\/lover of chess with something he always wanted but never believed he could achieve: a master-level positional foundation. A section on practical chess psychology (titled Psychological Meanderings) presents never-before-published ideas on psychological processes that hinder players of all levels, and gives easy-to-follow advice and techniques that will help anyone overcome these ubiquitous mental\/emotional failings. Hundreds of games brought to life by instruction-rich prose, and stories that offer humour while highlighting various lessons, vividly illustrate all the books topics in a manner thats both personal and fun. If the positional masterpieces of the chess legends have always been a mystery to you, if chess strategy has always been an unsolvable enigma, if you find yourself a positional pawn rather than a positional master, then How to Reassess Your Chess, 4th edition will prove to be a life-changing experience.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308613611893,"sku":"9781890085131","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781890085131_87c9b6bb-5efc-4a45-bd6a-6c5da85749d0.jpg?v=1786029174"},{"product_id":"9781890085025","title":"Amateur's Mind","description":"This book takes the student on a journey through his own mind and returns him to the chess board with a wealth of new-found knowledge and the promise of a significant gain in strength. Most amateurs possess erroneous thinking processes that remain with them throughout their chess lives. These flaws in their mental armour result in stinging defeats and painful reversals. Books can be bought and studied, lessons can be taken -- but in the end, these elusive problems always prove to be extremely difficult to eradicate. Seeking a solution to this dilemma, the author wrote down the thoughts of his students while they played actual games, analysed them, and catalogued the most common misconceptions that arose. This second edition greatly expands on the information contained in the popular first edition.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308830536053,"sku":"9781890085025","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781890085025_3bae1125-0bf0-40ac-b043-c69a4bb34a5f.jpg?v=1786029171"},{"product_id":"9781890085056","title":"Reassess Your Chess Workbook","description":"International Chess Master Jeremy Silman tests a player's strengths and weaknesses with 131 problems that cover openings, middlegames (both positional and tactical), and endgames.

Through this process of problem solving, analysis and advice, a player is led to discover the major flaws imbedded in his or her play. Through this same process, a player is also led to an understanding of Silman's system of thinking about the game, and how it differs from many other systems of chess thinking.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308830798197,"sku":"9781890085056","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781890085056_64820fe1-2d49-4bb0-83d5-33b8bbb023df.jpg?v=1786029172"},{"product_id":"9781890085018","title":"Complete Book of Chess Strategy","description":"An easy-to-understand guide to chess strategy -- conceptual planning -- has always been the amateur's dream.
