How to reassess your chess

Book • 1991
This book, now in its fourth edition, is a modern classic in chess instruction.

It focuses on the concept of imbalances, which are differences in the position that players should plan their play around.

Silman provides a systematic thought process to identify and exploit these imbalances, covering aspects such as minor piece advantage, pawn structure, spatial control, material, control of open files, development, initiative, and king safety.

The book includes practical examples, exercises, and psychological insights to help players improve their game.

It is highly recommended for serious chess players looking to enhance their strategic and positional skills.
