Positional Decision Making in Chess by Boris Gelfand
Positional Decision Making in Chess offers a rare look into the mind of a top grandmaster. In his efforts to explain his way of thinking, Boris Gelfand focuses on such topics as the squeeze, space advantage, the transformation of pawn structures and the transformation of advantages. Based on examples from his own games and those of his hero, Akiba Rubinstein, Gelfand explains how he thinks during the game."One of my favourite books of the last decade was Boris Gelfand's Positional Decision Making in Chess" -- GM Luke McShane, The Spectator
"Gelfand's book is a revelation." -- GM Lubomir Kavalek
"Gelfand is very good – and very honest – at explaining which decisions he could calculate and which decisions he needed to take on the basis of judgment, and how he did that… It adds up to the type of book I love… I think this book has masses to teach any strength of player.
***** (5/5)" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
"I like Rubinstein and Gelfand and found the book classy!" -- GM Igor Stohl
"Positional Decision Making is the best chess book I have read." -- GM Axel Smith
