Just started reading it few days back. I must admit that while the moves are explained in the book, being able to play similar moves in my own game will be quite hard. But hopefully a little bit will seep in over time.
Great show! I still need to finish this book. 1:01:08 "Overvaluing" and undervaluing are thematic for improvement. We're constantly revising our chess values to be more precise with our evaluations.
Anki for flashcard for things like this book is far better than Chessable for exactly the reasons mentioned at 01:09:00. When the analysis is more important than a precise move or if it's a position you want to play for training, throw it in Anki. And make backups!
@@HerbMartin52 you do not want my Anki decks. A part of the learning process is doing your own analysis and I am likely learning openings and looking at positions that will not be helpful to most people.
@@RobertKaucher That's just wrong -- yes, you might learn more making the decks but you will also spend a vastly greater amount of time building them than studying them or something else. It's a poor return on investment, in my extensive Anki experience. If you can find a quality deck for free it is MUCH more effective to use it and correct or improve it only as much as needed. So, YES, I DEFINITELY do want your Anki deck(s) if they are even moderate quality and have good coverage of important areas, though that doesn't mean you want to or are able to share them.
Great, this small book really helped us, anyway please do more of this podcasts.😊😊
A true masterpiece. An absolute classic

The best intermediate to advanced level chess book I have read. Clear, concise and well written.
Very interesting, thanks a lot!
Simple Chess was the first chess book I ever read. It wasn't that simple.
Great book fred Wilson turned me on to it on his pod that i listen to due to my patreon support of this rad pod
Based on this (great!) podcast I just placed my order for this book
