The Amateur's Mind

The IM inimitable Jeremy Silman returns with a book designed to propel club players up the class ladder.  He takes aim at common misconceptions and thinking errors found in players rated between one and two thousand, and writes in clear, easy-to-understand language.  An instant classic. 

“The Amateur’s Mind is eminently readable and instruction-rich.  Jeremy Silman never disappoints those who seriously wish to improve their game. “ -- GM Joel Benjamin

“Mr. Silman has become the leading chess writer in America.  My students swear by his work.” -- IM John Watson
