Training for the Tournament Player

Summary: Perhaps the best of all Dvoretsky's works
Review: Certainly this book can be approached by more players than most of Dvoretsky's other works. This book concentrates on self-improvement through the critical study of one's own chess games. Its a great book, though I now strongly believe that his later book Attack & Defense (Batsford, 1998) is a better effort.

Summary: Useful Ideas
Review: The book is basically a manual on how to asess your own chess and begin to cover up weaknesses and promote strengths. Emphasising the need for unviversality of style (covering weaknesses) it advocates a method of analysing the individuals games to come up with ways of strengthening openings, psychology and analysis at the board.
