John Watson

Gambit · 1999
Paperback · 272 pp.

Watson sheds new light on classical principles in chess: the center, pawn structure, the bad Bishop, the Knight on the rim. He advances the idea of dynamism: active piece play can take precedence over pawn structure, and consideration of the position at hand is more critical than dogmatic adherence to general principles. He refines many of the traditional ideas we had used to guide our chess thinking.

Winner of the 1999 USCF and BCF Book of the Year, this is essential reading for club players on the road to expert or beyond.

A modern classic, and Blackstone Chess Platinum pick. See the sequel: Chess Strategy In Action
