Invisible Chess Moves

Invisible Chess Moves

Książka opisująca momenty zaćmienia szachowego, kiedy nawet najlepsi gracze nie są w stanie dostrzec kontynuacji mimo, że ruch którego szukają jest na wyciągnięcie ręki i niejednokrotnie wydaje się zbyt oczywisty przez co jest pomijany. Opisane przeoczenia są ciekawy spojrzeniem na psychologiczny aspekt szachów. Uświadomienie sobie w jakich sytuacjach dochodzi do takich przeoczeń może wpłynąć na poprawę gry zawodnika. Książka dzieli się na rozdziały i rozpatruje kilka rodzajów ,,niewidzialnych'' ruchów i zawiera wiele przykładów z partii szachistów na najwyższym poziomie. Bardzo pouczająca lektura.
