How To Choose a Chess Move - Andrew Soltis

There are more than 30 moves you can choose from a typical chess position, yet Masters regularly manage to select the best moves – and they do it faster, more confidently and with less calculation than other players.

This is because Masters have shortcuts that enable them to think more efficiently. This instructive and practical guide explains these techniques, including:

• Using specific cues to identify good moves

• Streamlining analysis of the consequences of moves

• Using both objective and highly subjective criteria to find the right move – from any position
