"How to Improve You Chess" is devoted to the player who already
knows the rudiments of the game and wants to become more
proficient. The book is designed specifically for the average
player-- to help him tighten his game to the point at which he can
take genuine pride and pleasure in it. The authors, great chess
authorities, give pointers on what objects to pursue and how to
meet specific kinds of attack. Their method is to take several
games and play them out, and the reasons for victory or defeat made
clear. Special attention is paid to openings, including Sicilian
Defense, Queen's Gambit Declined, and Bird's Opening, and to
strategy, especially the management of bishops and the playing of
pawns for the formation of a strong pawn center.
