What really separates masters from ordinary club players.What really separates a master from an ordinary club player? Acclaimed author Grandmaster Andrew Soltis argues that it is not superior knowledge of opening theory but a different way of thinking: a sense of priorities, an eye for piece activity, sound practical decision-making and a set of hard-to-define "master" skills. Through a wealth of instructive examples he identifies the habits and thinking methods you need to acquire in order to cross the threshold towards master strength. Written in Soltis's characteristically clear and entertaining style, it is an ideal book for ambitious players who want to understand how strong players really think. Andrew Soltis is an American grandmaster and a prolific, award-winning chess writer.
