Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"The way a beginner develops into a strong
chess
player closely resembles the progress of the game of
chess
itself. This popular idea is the reason why many renowned
chess
instructors such as former World Champions Garry Kasparov and Max Euwe, emphasize the importance of studying the history of
chess
. Willy Hendriks agrees that there is much to be learned from the pioneers of our game. He challenges, however, the conventional view on what the stages in the advancement of
chess
actually have been. Among the various articles of faith that Hendriks questions is Wilhelm Steinitz's reputation as the discoverer of the laws of positional
chess
. In The
Origin
of
Good
Moves
Hendriks undertakes a groundbreaking investigative journey into the history of
chess
. He explains what actually happened, creates fresh perspectives, finds new heroes, and reveals the real driving force behind improvement in
chess
: evolution. This thought-provoking book is full of beautiful and instructive 'new' material from the old days. With plenty of exercises, the reader is invited to put themselves in the shoes of the old masters. Never before has the study of the history of
chess
been so entertaining and rewarding."--Publisher.
