How can one
determine if a piece is weak or strong? Or if a square is weak or strong?
These are the principal questions that grandmaster and trainer Drazen
Marovic addresses in this important book. By discussing carefully-chosen
games and positions, Marovic explains how to recognize good and bad
features of positions, and how to make use of one's advantages and exploit
the opponent's weaknesses. One repeatedly sees 'weaknesses' that are
unexploitable (and therefore are not weaknesses at all), possibilities of
surrendering certain squares in order to gain more important ones, and
material sacrifices to exploit major weaknesses. Topics include: outposts;
strength and weakness on files and diagonals; vulnerabilities on the first
and second ranks; static weakness and attack; and characteristics of the
pieces.
