Play with structure board games is developmentally appropriate for
latency-age children but is seldom discussed in the child therapy
literature or seen as therapeutically useful. This book describes
ways that structured board games can reveal the internal
psychodynamic working of the child and can be understood as
projective material. Clinical examples of children's play reveal
parallels between their dramatic and their board-game play. Both
show unconscious content, defensive needs, and interpersonal and
transferential relationships. As therapists, we can search for the
same underlying dynamics we would look for in these other symbolic
expressions."This book also discusses a child's developmental
changes and how the dramatic, magical play of childhood is replaced
by the structured, rule-oriented play of the middle years.
Therapists must sensitively follow hem in this development, rather
than force them to continue the more regressed play of childhood or
push them prematurely into the verbal world of adolescents and
adults. Children's Use Of Board Games in Psychotherapy demonstrates
ways to work with the material which children give us at this
stage, even when expressed in the form of structured games.

Two great books by Neil McDonald from the Everyman Chess Library,
Starting Out the Reti and Starting Out: The English, brought
together in one volume. ----- The Reti is a popular opening at all
levels of chess. The great advantage it possesses over other
openings is that it's a thematic system which can be adopted
against many different defences, and because of this it's a firm
favourite amongst those who prefer the understanding of ideas over
dry memorization of moves. ----- In this book, Grandmaster Neil
McDonald examines the Reti by going back to basics, introducing the
key moves and ideas, and taking care to explain the reasoning
behind them - something that has often been neglected or taken for
granted in other works. ----- The English is a sophisticated and
popular opening system that is suitable for all types of players
and can lead to both positional and tactical middlegames. Many of
the world's top players, including Kasparov and Kramnik, include
the English in their openings weaponry. ----- In this
groundbreaking book, Grandmaster Neil McDonald revisits the basic
principles behind the English and its many variations. Throughout
this easy-to-read guide the reader is aided by a wealth of notes,
tips and warnings from the author, while key strategies, ideas and
tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated. This book is ideal
for the improving player.

Experts agree that regularly solving tactics is a vital component
of chess training. However, it's also widely acknowledged that
there is one drawback of traditional chess puzzleswhen solving them
students know for sure that there is a genuine tactic in the
position, whereas during a real game there is no such guarantee. In
this workbook, Volker Schleputz and Grandmaster John Emms offer a
unique framework to study chess tactics independent of themes,
difficulty andmost importantlyeven the existence of an actual
tactic in a given position. Analyzing carefully selected games,
from beginner level through to club and tournament level, the
reader assumes the role of a tactics detective, checking for
mistakes and missed opportunities by both sides without the help of
a chess engine. This training method resembles live play far more
realistically than solving puzzles, because each move has to be
analyzed with respect to tactical possibilitieswhether they exist
or not. The same thinking processes used in the training can then
be applied in real games. *A unique framework to practice chess
tactics*Exercises resemble over-the-board situations*Ideal for
beginners, intermediate and club players
