Learn from Kramnik, Karpov, Petrosian, Capablanca and Nimzowitsch
Chess Secrets is a brand new series of books which uncover the mysteries of the most important aspects of chess: strategy, attack, opening play and gambits, classical play, endgames and preparation. In each book the author studies a number of great players from chess history who have excelled in a particular field of the game and who have undeniably influenced those who have followed.
The chess world has been blessed with some wonderful strategists, innovators of the game with their instructive play and profound teachings. In The Giants of Strategy, Neil McDonald chooses his selection of the most prominent ones and highlights the major contributions they have made. He examines their differing approaches and styles, and from Nimzowitsch to Kramnik, how they followed in each other's footsteps. A careful study of this book will help you to understand and improve in one of the most crucial elements of the game.
An entertaining and instructive guide to chess strategy

Chess Secrets: The Giants of Chess Strategy
Comments :
This entire series (Chess Secrets) is first rate instruction. This book may be the bst of the bunch! GM McDonald (all of his books are excellent) uses examples of positional grandmaster play to demonstrate the logic GM's apply to construct their logical plans. McDonald's lucid explanations assist greatly in the learning process. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I have reread it already again, it being the chess book that goes with me on my treks to Wyoming. It's worth the extra weight!
