Chess Puzzle Book 4: Mastering the Positional Principles - Karsten Mueller & Alexander Markgraf.
Mastering the Positional Principles
Welcome to The Chess Puzzle Book 4! This title mostly deals with the important technical question of how to convert a static advantage.
As noted by Mark Dvoretsky in his Foreword: "I cannot think of any books with high-quality exercises regarding such topics as domination, the 'do not hurry' principle, the principle of two weaknesses, etc., all of which are discussed by Mueller and his co-author Alexander Markgraf. I hope that you enjoy this new book by Muller and Markgraf and I encourage you to seriously study the positions discussed in the book. As a result, you will significantly progress in your understanding of chess and improve your results."
Topics include: Prophylaxis, The Principle of Two Weaknesses, The Right Exchange, Domination, Do Not Rush, and Converting an Advantage. There are also many well-chosen exercises with comprehensive solutions to help guide and instruct the reader.
Who should read this book? Highly recommended for advanced players!
