Calculating variations. He point out that Kotov's prescription can lead to unnecessary waste of time and energy. Wasting energy will often lead to bad tournament results. He amends the search rules to give them more practical usefulness. One is called DAUT, Dont Analyze Unecessary Tactics. Another problem with Kotov's book is the game selection. They are one sided and obviously chosen to prove a point. The losing side is invariably playing a bad game and not putting up any fight at all. Finding the right plan and winning the game isn't nearly as easy as it seems from those games. The losing side passes a multitude of chances to get counterplay. And he never points that out. So he gives a false impression of how hard it actually is to win a game. MvH Dan Andersson
