So >it might be helpful to glimpse at "The Method in Chess" by Iossif Dorfman >(really don't know if it is method or madness ;-) I am looking on extracting chess knowledge and understanding what chess is all about. The easy to implement part is not a requirement, I am prepared to deal with more complex stuff. Unfortunately this book is not available through Amazon which makes it unattainable for me. >And of course i would not ignore books that are basically written for children. >I am _not kidding_ ... because you'll often read good rules of thumb without any >if and however ;-) Hmmm ... somehow I don't think this fits my mental structure.
