In Strategic Play Jacob Aagaard digs deep into the most complex area of chess thinking. The games and exercises in this book transcend regular chess skills, such as pattern recognition, calculation and positional analysis. Building on the two previous books in the Grandmaster Preparation series, this book challenges the reader to explore the complexities of chess, offering clarity and understanding through Aagaard's straightforward approach. Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard won the British Championship at his first and only attempt. He is the only chess author to have received the Boleslavsky Medal as well as the Guardian, ECF and ChessCafe Book of the Year awards. His training material is used by amateurs, grandmasters and World Champions alike. GM Surya Ganguly: "Solving the positions Jacob showed me has improved my understanding of chess strategy a great deal. Likewise, I am sure the readers will also benefit immensely from the games and exercises in this book." The Grandmaster Preparation series is aimed at ambitious players.
