The Modern Chess Self-instructor is meant for chess players of intermediate level who wish to improve their play by gaining more knowledge of the strategy, tactics and technique at various stages of the game. Chess instructors are likely to get interested too. The Self-instructor is published in three books and on the whole contains 1132 positions to solve, among them 852 games of grandmasters and masters and 280 studies (with answers and notes). Book | is concerned with the opening and middle-game (combinations; attack on the King), Book 2 deals with the middle-game (strategy - pieces and pawns; the centre; open files; weak squares and strategical points; limitation of the opponent's pieces mobility and making your own pieces more active; strategical co- operation of forces). Book 3 is dedicated to the end-game. Brought into focus are the assessment of a position and the choice of the appropriate plan of the game. There are two supplements. They are passages from the articles "How | Became Grand Master" and "Tournament Play Technique" by A. Nimzovich, confirming the efficiency of the pedagogical method which is assumed as a basis of the present Self-instructor. Copyright © 1999 by V. A. Pozharsky.

Tappu Kacnapoe "I am an adherent of the analysis trend to which Botvinnik belongs. It was from him that I actually learnt to analyse while playing chess, to search for fresh ideas, to constantly work at perfecting them. This is a scientific approach, based on profound analysis of the heritage of the past, on the search for new opening variations and methods of play in the middle- game, it is based on working out strategical plans that are new in essence”.
