Los Angeles Ca., Siles Press, 1998 Softcover, 360pp., 15.5x23cm., ills. in b/w., in very good condition. . ISBN 9781890085018. In The Complete Book of Chess Strategy, International Master Jeremy Silman presents an accessible reference guide to the fundamental principles of chess. Arranged in dictionary format, the book explains strategic concepts alphabetically, combining concise definitions with examples from practical games. It covers opening principles and systems, piece development, pawn structures, positional planning, tactical motifs, endgame ideas and the psychological aspects of competitive play. The explanations show how individual concepts can be applied over the board, helping readers understand not only what a particular move or strategy involves, but also why it works. Examples drawn from the games of leading players, including Steinitz, Capablanca, Petrosian, Fischer and Karpov, illustrate the practical application of these ideas. The book is particularly useful as a reference for club players and improving amateurs who want to broaden their strategic understanding and make better-informed decisions during their games. Jeremy Silman (1954-2023) was an American International Master, chess teacher and prolific author. He became widely respected for his ability to explain complex chess concepts in clear, accessible language. His influential books include How to Reassess Your Chess and The Amateur's Mind. Silman emphasised positional understanding, imbalances and practical decision-making, helping generations of amateur players develop a more systematic approach to chess.
