Chess is fundamentally a dynamic game. Every move changes the situation and the possibilities for both sides. The range and value of the pieces can change radically over the course of a game. Today's generation of super grandmasters play relentlessly dynamic chess, but much of the chess literature still treats chess as if it were predominantly a static game. Much of our understanding of the game is based on traditional rules of thumb that may work well \''on average\'' or in \''typical situations\''. But these rules often do not give us the tools we need to deal with the special and sometimes exceptional situations we face in our games. In this book, Valeri Beim explains how to incorporate dynamic considerations into the game, and how to trade initiative and time against material and other static factors. This is a practical exposition from an experienced coach and hardened fighter, geared to the needs of players who want to improve their results.

The following topics are covered:
dynamics
Development
King moves for attack purposes
breakthrough
initiative

Valeri Beim is a grandmaster and lives in Austria. He has won numerous tournaments and plays in both the Austrian and German leagues. For many years he was the leading coach of the Israeli national team. This is his fourth chess book.
