"And the Rest Is Just a Matter of Technique..." How often has this comment been appended to a game move or variation? As many players know, it really may not be all that easy to figure out what is meant by this familiar phrase. After the untimely passing of legendary instructor Mark Dvoretsky, Artur Yusupov was given access to Dvoretsky's famous card files. With the core material based upon these files, the former top ten grandmaster - and perhaps the most successful of all of Dvoretsky's students - put together this book, modifying and refining the content as needed. The book begins with a "theoretical" explanatory section. This is followed by 102 practice positions, which increase in in difficulty. Good technique for gaining an advantage is useful in all areas of the game, so there are positions from the opening, middlegame, and especially the endgame - not only from practical games but also from various studies. The comments to the solutions are very detailed, explaining not only the main line but also the supplementary side variations. Yusupov thought it important to demonstrate the logic in the search for a decision and to show how a chessplayer can come to the right conclusions at the board. Dvoretsky's master student Artur Yusupov has done a great job in selecting and presenting the material so that this book "feels" like another genuine Dvoretsky work. This book is a real gem and I hope that it gives you as much pleasure as it has given me. And that from now on, when you have an advantage, the rest really will be, well, just a matter of technique... - From the Foreword by Grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller

"To a large extent, the level of any chessplayer's skill depends on his or her ability to discover and evaluate positional operations as quickly and correctly as possible. In this book, premier chess instructor and trainer Mark Dvoretsky examines one of the most important aspects of positional skill, namely the art of playing with pieces, of maneuvering and finding the best squares for your pieces. Training your maneuvering skills will help you at every stage of the game -- which is why among the exercises there are opening, middlegame and endgame positions, and not only those that are taken from practical games, but also studies. The conscientious student, carefully working his or her way through this book, will help improve positional mastery and significantly enhance overall playing skill."--
