Lessons of Mastery. Second edition, revised

The textbook by the famous coach Mark Dvoretsky (1947-2016) is a collection of instructive games with detailed comments. Their careful study will be of great benefit to anyone who is serious about self-improvement and wants to understand what problems grandmasters and masters face at the board, how they solve them, what lies behind the mistakes they sometimes make and how to avoid them.

The book consists of seven parts: Lessons from One Game, Positional Games, Opening Discussions, The King in Danger, Under Fire, Games with Questions, Playing Out. You can concentrate on purely practical training by solving exercises, or first study those sections that interest the reader most. The last two parts of the book are devoted to specific forms of training that the author regularly used in his classes: analyzing games in the form of solving a series of sequential problems and playing out specially selected positions.

For a wide range of chess fans.
