The title reads "The inner game of chess, how to calculate and win".

It is mainly a book on chess calculation, and a very good one for that matter, particularly if you've read "Think like a GM" by Kotov before.

Here's a listing of the 10 chapters included in the book:

 

What calculation is and isnt.

Ideas.

Analysis Trees and how to build them.

Force.

Counting out.

Choice.

Monkey wrenches.

Oversights.

Rechecking.

The practical calculator.

 

The positions have been meticulously selected. I was completely baffled with many of them.

The most possitive aspect about this book is that Soltis, unlike Kotov in his book, makes calculation look simple, or at least he tells you how to get better at calculation from a realistic stand point.

 

This is an excellent book.
