With a sharp eye, briefly and pointedly, he reports on very personal experiences and events, as an actor and observer: of triumphs and tragedies, of the meteoric rise and fall of club teams, of the bittersweet life as a chess professional, of encounters with world-class players. In his luggage are 128 games.

With fascinating ease, the qualified A-Trainer invites you to take a look behind the scenes of moves and maneuvers. Full of emotion and sober logic. Entertaining and educational. A treasure trove for aspiring club players, trainers and chess fans.
