Brought together in one volume are two of Jacob Aagaard's great
books- Excelling at Technical Chess and Excelling at Positional
Chess. "And the rest is a matter of technique" is an annoyingly
common phrase used in chess literature. The implication from the
author is that the task of converting a typically winning position
into a full point or converting a drawing position into
half-a-point is relatively straightforward. However, as all of us
practical players realise, it's not always a simple as this, and
many hard-earned points are wasted through "a lack of technique" In
Technical Chess Jacob Aagaard aims to solve this perennial problem.
He arms the reader with several endgame weapons that every strong
technical player has in his toolbox. These include important skills
such as schematic thinking, domination, preventing counterplay,
building fortresses and utilising zugzwang. These tools are
illustrated in deeply analysed games containing numerous different
themes. A serious study of this book will ensure that the reader
need no longer need fear the word "technique"! Positional chess
remains a mystery to many and yet an understanding of the finer
points of the game so often makes the difference between two
equally matched players. Improve your positional play and you will
see chess in a totally new dimension! In Positional Chess, Aagaard
selects many original examples of positional chess, the creme de la
creme of those that he uses for training and study. Aagaard also
delves deeply into the ideas of positional evaluation and analysis
