Strategic chess tasks

In chess puzzle books, the focus is usually on tactics. However, in most cases, when pondering a position during a game, there is no tactical solution. Instead, one primarily thinks about how to improve their own position while simultaneously weakening the opponent's. Experienced chess coach Emmanuel Bricard has compiled a practical workbook with carefully selected and tested training positions that teach you how to develop the right plan for each situation. The book is aimed at anyone who wishes to improve their understanding of chess strategy, know what to do when there is no tactical solution, learn how to apply strategic principles in specific positions, gain time on the clock by calculating fewer variations, accumulate advantages in different types of positions, and generally find inspiration through grand examples of strategy. The difficulty level of the tasks varies, as this workbook is designed for a wide range of club players. Once you have worked through the strategic chess tasks, you will spend less time finding suitable plans in the future and will often outplay your opponents!.
