"Study is a necessity for competitive chess players, and acclaimed chess author and International Grandmaster Andrew Soltis explains how it should be done. In his trademark witty, accessible style, Soltis provides tips on everything from the need for memorization to the use of computers--and even how to develop that indefinable thing called intuition."--Publisher description.

"The essential guide to studying chess, packed with tips and tricks to help you learn. It's a fact of chess life that if you want to win, you have to put a bit of study in. Every chess player, from near-beginner to experienced tournament player, needs to learn the openings and keep on top of current theory. But studying doesn't have to be dull. This indispensable book contains foolproof ways to help the information go in ... and stay in. Acclaimed chess author Andrew Soltis reveals the key techniques in his trademark witty, accessible style: why you can't study chess the same way you study school subjects; how to acquire the most important knowledge, intuition; the role of memorizing (not a bad thing, despite what people say); how to get the most out of playing over a master's game; adopting a chess hero as a means of learning; how great players study; computers as a study tool; how to train someone else."--Back cover.
