"That is part of what I like in chess: it is psychological warfare
at the board." Magnus Carlsen during an interview with the BBC,
March 2013 In chess, more than in any other game, battles are won
and lost in the mind. US National Master William Stewart is
convinced that a positive attitude is crucial if you want to
develop and achieve success as a chess player, and in this book he
focuses on the vital subject of chess psychology. All the key areas
of chess are covered here. Stewart highlights the principles of
successful opening play and outlines an easy-to-learn starting
repertoire. He also examines positional play, defensive resilience,
typical mistakes and how to avoid them, tournament strategy, clock
management, how to study chess and much more besides. This book is
packed with tips and practical advice for beginners and
intermediate players, and anyone wishing to improve their mental
approach to chess. *An essential guide to chess psychology *Covers
opening, middlegame and endgame play *Ideal for beginners and

Hector Boece (c.1465 1536) was a Scottish humanist historian,
educated in Dundee and Paris, where he became a friend of Erasmus.
His Latin Scotorum Historia, covering the period from 330 BCE until
1437, was published in 1527, and rapidly translated into French and
Scots. It was continued by several authors, indicating that it was
accepted as a definitive account of the formation of Scottish
national identity, though, inevitably, many of the earlier parts
rely on legend and tradition rather than on historical sources.
Dedicated to James V, it is biased in favour of his ancestors, and,
via Holinshed, was the source for Shakespeare's Macbeth. This verse
translation was completed for James V by the courtier William
Stewart in 1535, but not published until the Rolls Series edition
by W. B. Turnbull in 1858. Volume 1 contains Books I VI and covers
wars with the Romans and Irish migration to Scotland.
