GM Preparation - Strategic Play (Paperback)

This GM Preparation - Strategic Play is an English-language paperback chess book by Jacob Aagaard, focused on strategic decision-making at a high level. Part of the Grandmaster Preparation series, it tackles one of the most demanding areas of chess thinking: understanding positions, recognising patterns and choosing the right plan.

What the book covers

In Strategic Play, Aagaard guides the reader through complex positions, games and exercises designed to sharpen strategic understanding. Rather than offering simple recipes, it encourages you to work through the logic behind each decision and build a clearer sense of how to evaluate a position.

The book continues the work developed in the earlier volumes of the Grandmaster Preparation series. Its direct, structured approach makes it suitable for players who want to improve step by step through serious study and self-analysis.

Who it is for

This title is aimed at ambitious players who want to raise their level of play in a deliberate way. It is a strong fit for tournament players, trainers and anyone working on more advanced strategic understanding through positions, games and exercises.
