Description

Paperback, 143 pages, Batsford 1983

Think Like a Grandmaster by Alexander Kotov remains one of chess literature's most influential works. Originally published by Batsford Chess in 1983, this 143-page paperback distills decades of analytical mastery into a practical system for calculating variations—the now-famous Tree of Analysis method.

Kotov explores the psychological and technical barriers to accurate calculation, including what became known as "Kotov Syndrome": the tendency to play inferior moves after exhausting oneself through excessive analysis. Beyond theory, the book features hundreds of carefully selected tactical puzzles drawn from classical games, each designed to strengthen pattern recognition and decision-making under pressure.

Ideal for intermediate to advanced players seeking to sharpen tactical vision and develop a more systematic approach to variation analysis. A foundational text for anyone serious about competitive improvement.
