Recenzje

'This book is essential reading for those interested in the psychological research on chess. It provides an excellent summary of the evidence about the factors that can explain individual differences in the game and integrates this knowledge into a coherent theoretical framework. In this way, it can inspire researchers and chess players themselves.' Roland H. Grabner, Professor of Psychology, University of Graz, Austria
