GM Preparation - POSITIONAL PLAY (Paperback)

This GM Preparation - Positional Play is an English-language paperback chess book by Jacob Aagaard, focused on positional play and better decision-making at the board. It is aimed at ambitious players who want to understand positions more clearly, sharpen their intuition and bring more structure to their analysis.

What this book covers

Aagaard starts from a problem many players know well: calculating deeply does not always lead to a real understanding of the position. Post-game engine analysis can also produce moves that look illogical at first glance. In Positional Play, he presents a simple three-step method of positional analysis that he has used with club players and grandmasters alike.

The book is designed as a practical training plan. Its purpose is to improve chess intuition and the quality of decisions made during play. Rather than offering only general principles, it gives you a framework for working deliberately on positional understanding.

Who it is for

This title belongs to the Grandmaster Preparation series and is written for ambitious chess players. It will suit players aiming for international level, as well as those who already have a foundation in positional play and want to turn that knowledge into more consistent decisions over the board.
