Kostantin Landa – författare

The Complete Manual of Positional Chess, probably the most thorough grounding in the history of teaching chess, was recently created for chess teachers at the DYSS, the special sports school for young talents in Russia. Konstantin Sakaev and Konstantin Landa present a complete set of instructions and tips for trainers and self-improvers. The reader will learn not only how to enhance fundamental knowledge and technical skills, but also how to work on physical and psychological conditioning. The book is full of basic and advanced tools to improve in a wide array of areas, like quick development and fighting for the centre in the opening, clean calculation and decision-making in the middlegame, tackling the fear of disturbing the material balance, and, last but not least how to restrict the role the chess computer plays in our life.
