Beginners and even fairly advanced players agree on one thing: analyzing
the strength or weakness of a position (material being equal) is the
hardest part of chess to learn. It is also one of the hardest elements
to teach, and there are some who claim it is unteachable. But this
wonderfully lucid book, written by one of the outstanding chess
expositors of this century, presents the basis of analysis in such a
disarmingly simple way that even the most casual player will be able to
improve his game immensely.
