Review by: jsain
Here is a game Jesus de la Villa played during his peak, at the Szirak Interzonal (1987) against Velimirović. The guy who the Velimirović attack was named after! De la Villa Played Bxa5 on move 26. Was that a mistake? Evaluate the position.
Chessmind is a great learning platform where you can answer positional questions and get instant feedback. It recreates lesson conditions, and comes close to having a chess coach! Try it out!
Very useful book, and the vast majority of games are taken from a club player level, from relatively weak to strong IM level players, so there is a wide range of coverage. De la Villa's signature straightforward explanations and occasion humour make it a very easy book to read, and not having to make the mistakes yourself is very useful for gaining rating!
Explains various pitfalls that chess players can fall into, and how and what to learn from them. Provides information in all areas of play, from Attacking, Defending, The Opening, and various other specific areas. Quite insightful to pinpoint the exact cause of issues in games.
