Grandmaster Preparation - Juego posicional, de Jacob Aagaard (tapa dura)

Grandmaster Preparation: Positional Play by Jacob Aagaard is an English-language hardcover chess training book for ambitious club and tournament players who want to sharpen their positional understanding and make better decisions at the board.

What this book covers

Aagaard’s approach is practical and structured. Positional Play shows how to assess weaknesses, piece activity and prophylaxis through a three-step analytical method, so your thinking becomes more organised and your moves are based on a clearer evaluation of the position rather than on scattered calculation alone.

The book contains 222 carefully selected training positions, drawn mainly from modern tournament play. It is designed for active study: you work through the positions, test your judgement and then use the explanations to refine the way you think in real games.

If you often only understand a position after engine analysis, or if you feel that you calculate variations without a clear plan, this book offers a more disciplined way to approach positional decisions.
