Sharpen Up Your Chess

In this
long-awaited second Thinkers-book of International Master, Armin Juhasz, the reader is
invited to take a seat in his classroom and follow his useful guidelines how to
improve your practical play. The emphasis is on general principles that readers
will be able to use in their own games, and detailed analysis is always given
where it is necessary. Each game and fragment contain many lessons and
practical tips, guiding the reader through the most important ideas in each
phase of the game. This book illustrates an increasingly prevalent and
successful style of play, a method that begins by slowly accumulating small but
permanent advantages. The author does a very good job of explaining the key
points of the game in such a way that the reader is given a true account of
what is happening and not some watered down version. Translating the muddy
world of modern master chess into something that is understandable to the
layman, is a skill Armin mastered.
