We all lose a game now and then, but all too often we lose because we make moves that we knew deep down were no good. So why do we commit such chess sins in the first place? Are they based on general misconceptions about what chess is and how it should be played? And how can we better recognize the warning signs?

In this book, Rowson, in his original style, provides a wealth of food for thought in a highly entertaining way. He examines what causes chess players to make the most terrible mistakes at times, and in doing so, he sheds light on the insidious psychological causes of such mistakes: thinking; blinking; wanting; materialism; egoism; perfectionism; hastiness.
