Dynamic Decision Making in Chess by Boris Gelfand

In Dynamic Decision Making in Chess former World Championship Challenger Boris Gelfand continues his investigation into decision-making at the top level, discussing some of his best games as well as his worst slips, giving the reader a unique insight into the mind of a world-class grandmaster.

"This is a book about doubt, about guessing at decisions, about calculating and seeing a lot but still missing things and how that all works out in practical games at the highest level

In conclusion, this is a book that speaks to your practical soul… it's an invaluable opportunity to compare your thinking process to the way a top grandmaster takes difficult decisions." -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess


"Gelfand's Positional Decision Making in Chess was last year named ECF Book of the Year, and the sequel Dynamic Decision Making in Chess is also worthy of great respect. The format is just right with lots of text and not too many variations." -- GM Simen Agdestein


"Dynamic Decision Making in Chess is a wonderful book, one of the best of its kind… The analysis is best suited for experts and above, but players of all strengths can't help but learn from this book." -- John Hartmann, Chess Life


"Gelfand's character and personality really shine through in this ongoing set of books, which is shaping up as a must-buy series. Players up to – and including – grandmaster level will find plenty of interest here, whether it is the original anecdotes, the pieces of advice or the deep annotations." -- Sean Marsh, CHESS magazine


"Karjakin-Gelfand… a beautifully analysed game (and there are many in this book) in which one learns not only about the opening and dynamic chess, but about all aspects of a chess game, including psychological factors that always play a greater role than one might think. It was not for nothing that the first book in this series, 'Positional Decision Making' was proclaimed ECF Book of the Year." -- Bab Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad

Grandmaster Boris Gelfand has been an elite player for 30 years. He won the European Junior Championship in 1987 and reached No. 3 in the World in 1990, and has won the World Cup, Olympiad Gold, Candidates and many other top tournaments.
