Review by: jsain

This is a position from the game in which Jan Markos had white against Viktorija Cmilyte at the Khanty-Mansiysk Olympiad in 2010. This is only move 12, and we're already in an endgame. It's Jan's turn. Evaluate the position. Who's better and why?

Wanna solve more positional problems and get instant feedback just like you would during a lesson with a real chess coach? Continue training!

    Very good book that can influence your chess. He explains things very deeply!

    An awesome book. Especially the first part.

    It does not really provide anything "new", but it presents it in a new style.

    The way he describes e.g. the magnetic skin, or the pieces of wood is very easy to remember and I still keep that in mind all the time.
