Notes on Positional Chess

Description

This book presents positional chess in a practical and systematic manner, covering pawn structures, piece activity, strong and weak squares, planning, prophylaxis, exchanges, initiative, positional sacrifices, and the transition to the endgame.
The master games and analysed positions included throughout the book illustrate how these ideas are applied in actual play. They show how strong players improve their pieces, restrict counterplay, change plans when necessary, and gradually convert small advantages into decisive ones.
