Evaluación de la posición y planificación - Max Euwe (segunda edición)

This Position Evaluation and Planning - Max Euwe (second edition) is a chess strategy book that shows how to turn a position into a concrete plan for the next moves. It focuses on the practical side of strategic play, where accurate evaluation helps you choose a clear direction at the board.

What this book covers

In this second edition, Max Euwe explains how to move from analysing a position to building an actual plan. The book concentrates on strategic themes that matter in practical play and help the developing player understand how the arrangement of pieces and pawns shapes the right course of action.

Using selected examples, it discusses topics such as making the most of a queenside pawn majority, recognising strong and weak squares, attacking on the kingside and using open files. That means the reader sees not only the ideas themselves, but also how they can be applied during a real game.

Why choose it?

This is a good choice for players who want to strengthen their positional thinking and make better decisions over the board. It supports a more structured approach to planning and helps bridge the gap between general strategic ideas and practical play.

Max Euwe’s book will appeal to ambitious club players as well as self-taught readers looking for a classic work on chess strategy. It also fits well into a library of established titles on positional play.
