Review: Think like an FM - and get the rating! - By the author of the most legitimate of all the "think like a grandmaster" type series, this volume delivers on a prerequisite - what an average player actually needs to do to first actually reach FM!
Review: Non-forcing moves! - I like the author's perspective about chess, particularly his focus on the concept of non-forcing moves. This concept was an eye opener for me as I am used to always searching for moves that are immediately threatening as opposed to focus on finding good squares for your pieces. I also thought the chapter on end games was strong and I believe his advice on how to study for openings was good as well. The author finishes the book with some exercises for the reader to practice and apply the theory. Overall, I was satisfied with the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended
*by M***E on January 2, 2025*

Anything by Aagard is recommended, but not for beginners. This series of books are great, however Everyman now offers them combined into two volumes instead of 4 individuals books. Their ISBNs are 1781944466 and 1781944474 . In fact, a lot of their older books end up in combined volumes, so it's good to check this beforehand.
