About this product
 
The unique quality of Chess Strategy is that it teaches you general strategic principles rather than having you memorize highly detailed analysis. The amateur can learn to play well only if he has a true understanding of the nature of the game, so that he may judge why each move should or should not be made.

It is assumed at the outset that the reader has no previous knowledge of the game. Strategic principles are immediately and lucidly explained, and applied to the formation of a sound "pawn skeleton" in the opening. Dr. Lasker proceeds to middle and end game, studying Objects of Attack, Backward Pawns, Weaknesses, Doubled Pawns, Files and Diagonals, Pawn and Mixed Endings, etc. Positions taken from master play are given as examples, with extensive annotations. You will find yourself understanding the motivations behind moves with unexpected ease.
