Dynamic Chess Strategy

by Mihai Suba

Since settling in England in 1988, Romanian Grandmaster Mihai Suba has become a popular figure on the British chess scene. Uncompromising and inventive, his play from opening through to ending is characterised by a rare dynamism and flexibility. In this, his first book, Suba wittily recounts his chess career and for the first time explains in detail his own very significant contribution to the battle of chess ideas. Included among 36 illustrative games are the author's victories against Korchnoi, Timman, Miles, Larsen, Portisch and other world class players.

One of my all time favorite chess books. Before I read this book, I was a "solid" player in the style of Karpov and Capablanca. However, after reading this book I started to play in a much more "energetic" and "dyanamic" style - and was winning more games! Suba goes over many of his games and thoughts and all of the information is quite valuable. Highly recommended!!

Entertainingly written (although some of it is lost in translation), but hardly an instructional manual. The author shows some of his best games but fails to make a convincing case that there is something called "dynamic strategy" versus "dynamic style."

To me it didn't seem there was much 'general' strategy specified, which maybe was the point. I really felt more like this was an analysis of the authors games and the hedgehog and english systems review. For what it was it was a fine game collection I guess, just not what I was expecting.

Explanation not clear enough. Too wordy and mostly beating around the bush.

More of a personal games collection than an instructive text.
