Every chess player, from club level up, can improve their game by
using engines. That is the message of Matthew Sadlers
thought-provoking new book, based on many years of experience with
the worlds best chess software. You may not be able to replicate
their dazzling-deep calculations, but there is so much more your
engine can do for you than just checking variations! Matthew
Sadler, co-author of the ground-breaking bestseller Game Changer,
presents some unique methods to improve by using your engine. He
explains how in your opening preparation, instead of sifting
through masses of computer analysis you should play training games
against your engine. He also shows how to train your early
middlegame play, the conversion of advantages, your positional
play, and your defensive skills. And, of course: how to analyse
your own games. These generic training methods Sadler supplements
with concrete techniques. He explains how the top engines tackle
crucial middlegame themes such as entrenched pieces, whole board
play, attacking rhythm, exchanging pieces, the march of the Rooks
pawn, queen versus pieces, and many others. He also opens your eyes
to typical strategies that the engines found and fine-tuned in
popular openings such as the Kings Indian, the Grunfeld, the Slav,
the French and the Sicilian. Sadler illustrates his lessons with a
collection of fantastic games, explained with his trademark
enthusiasm. For the first time, the superhuman powers of the chess
engine have been decoded to the benefit of all players, in a rich
and highly instructive book.
