About this product
 
This book investigates why the traditional chart of relative values or computer analysis so often fails to explain why certain trades and sacrifices are good and others are bad, and focuses on typical decisions a player has to make--for example, whether to trade two minor pieces for a rook and pawn, or the queen for two rooks.  The author advocates adherence to some basic laws of piece value, explaining concepts such as "it's not what goes off the board, it's what stays on and value depends on range".

Aimed at players of all strengths, this book is an insightful guide to an often overlooked subject.
 
International Grandmaster Andrew Soltis is a professional journalist and popular chess writer.  He is the author of Bobby Fischer Rediscovered, also published by Batsford.
