Un bon manuel de démarrage sur la plus importante - et la plus rébarbative - portion de la théorie des finales. Clairement destiné à tous ceux qui ont du mal à venir à bout des ouvrages ''''classiques'''', il utilise à fond tous les procédés possibles pour tenter de rendre le sujet plus aimable : style direct - jusque dans les légendes des diagrammes, conseils bien trempés, interactivité... Résultat probant : si vous n'arrivez à rien avec celui-là, laissez tomber le sujet...""

With the ascent of computer technology, humans have a chance to develop their thinking process based on hard evidence. Think Like a Machine explores human limitations and proposes new avenues for human thinking, inspired by computer engines.

In positions taken almost exclusively from modern tournament play, the authors present jaw-dropping continuations which humans struggle to find, not due to lower human computing power, due to conceptual and perceptual limitations. In this book these “crazy” moves are analysed and categorised. If you want to expand your chess imagination, understanding and intuition, Think Like a Machine is the book is for you.

Think Like A Machine is the second chess book co-written by Noam Manella and Zeev Zohar. Manella is a digital and Social Networks Researcher; Zohar is an accountant and businessman. Their previous book, Play Unconventional Chess and Win, was a highlight in chess publishing in 2014.

Bigre, ça ne rigole pas chez Gambit… Superficiellement comparable au Franco (30 parties complètes commentées, avec accent sur l’offensive à outrance), cet opus se destine en fait à un public moins aguerri et moins motivé (ce dont témoigne le volume bien plus réduit des commentaires).
