Move First, Think Later

Move First, Think Later is a thought-provoking book by International Master Willy Hendriks, that exposes the truth about the chess instruction establishment's claims. Hendriks argues that simply following the characteristics of a position and sticking to rules of thumb does not necessarily lead to good moves. Instead, he shows that trial and error is a highly effective way to become a better chess player. Hendriks uses recent scientific insights to explore the chess playing mind and poses intriguing questions about whether anyone can become a grandmaster, how useful trainers' advice really is, and whether it's possible to reach master level without a plan. This engaging and instructive book offers valuable training material for players of all levels.
