Dynamic Decision Making in Chess by Boris Gelfand (Paperback)

This Dynamic Decision Making in Chess by Boris Gelfand is an English-language paperback chess book that examines how strong players make decisions in dynamic positions. Drawing on Gelfand’s own games, mistakes and moments of hesitation, it offers a rare look at top-level thinking at the board.

What the book covers

This is not a book of dry analysis alone. Gelfand is unusually open about which choices came from precise calculation and which depended on judgement and experience, so you can see how practical decision-making really works in serious chess.

Who it is for

This title will be especially useful for ambitious players, coaches and tournament competitors who want to improve decision-making at the board, not just opening knowledge or tactics. The depth of analysis suits stronger readers best, but players at many levels can still learn by comparing their own thinking with that of a world-class grandmaster.
