Muller/Engel/Rafiee The human factor in chess - The Testbook
This approach is intended to enable the reader to assign himself to one of the player types and find out whether he belongs to the activists or rather to the pragmatists, theorists or reflectors. The result allows to draw conclusions in order to further expand the individual strengths or to develop a more universal playing style overall.
Because even if you usually win thanks to your strengths, it makes sense to work on your own weaknesses as well. Of course, if there is only one move in a position, you should be able to find it. Playstyles are especially important in positions where you have a great choice. However, they also play a role when you choose the type of position, which you should strive for based on your style.
Interestingly, a playstyle can also be imitated, which may even be the appropriate strategy against certain opponents. For example, certain characteristics stand out clearly in activists, and being able to adjust to them as an opponent is of course very valuable. A good example is Kramnik's win over activist Kasparov (at the London 2000 world championship match). Since Kramnik always managed to steer the game in the direction appropriate to his style, his big opponent never had the chance to demonstrate his own strengths in positions with attack and initiative.
While 'The Human Factor' was about a clear distinction of the four playing styles, this book aims to emphasize the universality of each player. After solving the tasks tailored to the four player types, it becomes clear how your own competencies are distributed. Accordingly, GM Vincent Keymer states in his foreword:
"Even if the further development of one's own player personality to a universal player who unites all player types may remain a utopia, it's still worth pursuing."

KASPAROV - My Great Predecessors part III
La taille a diminué d'un quart, mais le prix est hélas resté le même... Ce troisième tome est l'occasion de redécouvrir les deux joueurs sans doute les plus sous-estimés de l'histoire des échecs. Parce qu'il ont eu le malheur de régner quand le monde des échecs n'avait d'yeux que pour le ludion Fischer, et parce que leur style était pour l'un difficile à comprendre et pour l'autre difficile à caractériser, Petrosian et Spassky ont parfois été considérés comme des champions au rabais. Leur palmarès et leur valeur méritent pourtant mieux que ce jugement hâtif, et ce volume devrait contribuer à remettre quelque peu les pendules à l'heure - quelque peu seulement, la sélection de parties étant un peu courte pour illustrer d'aussi longues carrières (souvenons-nous que Petrosian fut présent dans les Tournois des Candidats durant 27 ans...). Au passage, on retrouve aussi quelques comparses doués : Portisch, le malchanceux Leonid Stein et, plus étrangement (car ses meilleurs résultats datent de l'ère Karpov), Lev Polougaevsky. Quand au style du livre, inutile d'y revenir : vous commencez à connaître le produit. Rendez-vous sous peu pour un sujet beaucoup plus rebattu : Bobby Fischer...
DVORETSKY,YUSUPOV - Secrets of Creative Thinking
Puisqu'on est dans le pédagogique, signalons donc la (re)sortie du cinquième et dernier tome de la série School of Future Champions - re puisqu'il s'agit en fait de la réédition de Attack and Defense paru naguère (1998) chez Batsford. Recommandable tout de même : les leçons de la Dvoretsky's Chess Scholl ne se périment pas si vite
Semkov - Playing for a win with ... b6
Playing for a win with ...b6 by Semko Semkov. The author proposes a full repertoire against 1.d4 and 1.c4, which is theoretically sound and leads to sharp, strategically unbalanced positions. It is based on the so-called English Defence 1.d4 e6 2.c4 b6 or 1.c4 b6. A great deal of the book is devoted to White's tries to deviate from theoretical dispute and transfer the game into the Queen's Indian with g3. 236 pages
