Self-Teaching Chess

This book contains two fundamentally different editions of the famous "Self-Teaching Chess" under one cover. They were written by the outstanding grandmaster and chess writer, vice-champion of the world David Ionovich Bronstein, who stated that the second edition of the "Self-Teaching" is simply his second part.
Instead of a dry academic language, the author offers himself as a conversational partner to the reader and engages in a lively discussion about how the strongest chess players in the world play, how they strive to achieve their favorite positions—after all, in chess, one primarily seeks not the best move, but a way to achieve a favorable position. If you heed the advice of a wise mentor, you will certainly significantly improve your playing strength.
The self-teaching book is aimed at a wide audience familiar with the game of chess, but both experienced chess players and coaches will also gain much useful knowledge from it.
