The art of positional play is explained in terms of planning, manoeuvring, the study of typical positions, and deep strategy in grandmaster games.
The material in the book is based upon lectures given by Dvoretsky and others to strong young players in 1992. The other authors/lecturers are Dlugy, Kosikov, Khenkin, Kramnik, Bareev and Yusupov.
