Foundations of Chess Strategy

Description

Chess strategy from a business perspective

Lars Bo Hansen is something rare: a grandmaster with an academic background in financial strategy. That dual perspective allows him to see chess in a way conventional strategy books do not offer: applying to the board the analytical frameworks that business theory has developed over decades for understanding competition, opponents and strategic environments.

The result is a book unlike any other in chess literature: instead of teaching typical plans or pawn structures, it builds a reference framework in which the player can situate and organise all their strategic understanding. What type of player are you? What type of player is your opponent? How do you adapt your strategy to their style? Those are the questions this book answers.

Who is this book for?

• Intermediate and advanced players who want a systematic vision of strategy beyond typical plans
• Readers interested in strategic thinking who enjoy interdisciplinary approaches
• Coaches who want material for working on self-knowledge and adaptation to the opponent’s style
