Los secretos del juego posicional - Jacob Aagaard

This Secrets of Positional Play by Jacob Aagaard is a Polish-language paperback chess book that focuses on one of the most important parts of improvement: understanding positional play and thinking more strategically at the board.

What this book is about

This modern training manual is for players who want to go beyond tactics alone and learn how to read positions more deeply. It tackles a familiar question for many chess players: how do you train in a way that leads to real improvement, not just sharper tactical alertness?

Aagaard shows that solving tactical exercises can help you spot mistakes and stay alert, but it does not solve every problem that appears when the position is quieter and plans, manoeuvres and evaluation matter more. That is where positional play begins.

Why it stands out

Jacob Aagaard takes a practical approach throughout. He writes not only from theory, but also from his own development as a player, including the mistakes he made and the methods he used to correct them. That makes the book feel like a record of real progress rather than a dry lecture.

It is a strong choice for club players, ambitious amateurs and anyone who analyses their games and feels that computer feedback shows the errors, but does not always explain how to play better positionally. This book is designed to fill that gap.
