An educational book about the critical questions that teachers ask themselves before making a move – a checklist for all players. Beginners learn to ask themselves the main questions. As they improve, they ask more complex questions: “What does my opponent's last move allow me to do?”, “Where is their position weak?”, “Should I make an irrevocable move now or wait?”, “What does my opponent want me to do?”. For master chess players, these questions are almost subconscious. Andy Soltis guides us through the checklist of things to ask before making a move, with exciting and enlightening examples from real chess games, from Karpov to Judith Polgar, from Magnus Carlsen to Fabiano Caruana. A key aspect of improvement is to ask all these questions and find the right answers, for players who wish to evolve. The advice of master chess players is good advice for all chess players and the best way to take their game to the next level.
