Danny Gormally is a Chess Grandmaster stuck in a fugue state. He has forgotten how to analyse – blinded by the brilliance of chess engines, every time he gets stuck he turns on the machine.
This chess book centers around an attempt to introduce analytics to modern chess, which eventually culminates in a chess personality quiz, although this takes part in the third part of the book.
The final few chapters are really intended as an aperitif, and accompliment to what has gone before. So in essence, you could view this book as being made up of four parts.
In the first part of this book I’ll be talking about some of my recent tournaments and what I have learned in regards to my own chess. The characters I’ve met along the way and what we can learn from them; their mistakes and my mistakes.
In the second part I will attempt to prepare you for the third and most important part, the personality quiz, which will hopefully guide the reader towards the necessary steps to make chess improvement.
