This book is by far. BY FAR the best book ive bought and owned. Had it for over a year now and as i play 2 c3 against the sicilian as white, the caro kann as black and the NImzo indian, i reach a lot of varied pawn structures. Ive not read the "irrelevant" stuff but certainly the ones i reach. Im only 1800, and the following week after having read the IQP chapter, held a solid and easy draw against a 2100 rated player. Very useful. And youre right, worth its gold.

Have only read a few chapters and its definitely changed my perspective towards middlegames. Planning becomes an easy, fluid process when you understand the pawn structures, even if you (like me) are not well versed in the opening theory.

Dear coach Andras, I have been watching your channel for quite a while, and I love the vids. Especially the no-nonsense in the style of what Danya once said “are you here to feel happy about yourself or are you here to deel happy about your chess”. Over the years, I have spend quite a bit on chess books (including your book with Judit Polgar) and especially chessable openings, but now I have hot a plateau at 2000 Lichess. I am pretty good with my positional play, but especially my calculation can use quite a bit of help; it’s handsdown my worst part of the game. Therefore, I have been watching all your videos related to calculation, but I am still looking for some more (book!) material on how to better my own calculation. Do you have any book suggestions? Currently I am working on “Chess strategy for club players”, a book on Rashid Nezhmetdinov (my chosen hero) and now Sam Shankland’s “calculation”. Any further advice? Appreciate you, coach!

This book is outstanding. I'm learning pawn structures with this book and "Pawn Structure Chess", by Andrew Soltis (he updated it in 2013). It's much easier to make plans when you understand structures. Of the two I prefer this one, but used together they reinforce each other's ideas. When understand structures I find that I enjoy chess even more.

At moment I read Silmans How to reasess your chess (4th edition) from cover to cover. I worked through it for about 75% already and my lichess rating went from about 1900 to 2200 now. After finished Silman I suppose I go through chess structures (or perhaps first through 45 techniques of positional play).

Andras is an amazing promoter for chess books. When he reviews one, it's hard to resist ordering it immediately, which I actually have. :-) Anyway, if you're reading Logical Chess, I think most coaches would tell you Chess Structures is a bit advanced for your next book. I'd check out Andras's book recommendation playlist, and if you want other opinions, book videos on ChessDojo. Some of those have interesting discussions, sometimes featuring Andras as a conversation partner.

There was a series of books on different openings which did something approximate. But each book was only on one opening, so the series was expensive. I don't recall the authors (Spanish I think, maybe Bellon & someone) or the titles.

I started it with the types of pawn structures that arise from the openings of my choice. Najdorf 1and 2 and Grunfeld and then progressed to the least common in my repertoire, such as the maroczy and the caro structures
@peterfredriksson1857
@peterfredriksson1857 10 месяцев назад
Agreeing with the above but many openings can create various structures. Think it's good to know all of them broadly and special attention to a few which are more likely to appear based on ones openings.

Except for the positional exercises in the back of the book, you need to play through the games and give each move a lot of time and effort. The actual book is better at that.

Andras I must ask what is your accent? I love accents and I haven’t been able to figure yours out. Did you emigrate to Australia from Europe as a young adult? When you say ‘pawn,’ I hear ‘pón’. Which I think might would come through from some west Slavic / Balkan languages? But then again, I’m an isolated American - so I may be completely off base! Just ordered the book. Really looking forward to reading through this 🙂
