The Imparable Logic and Psychology in Chess by Boroljub Zlatanovic deals with a topic in chess that has not been traditionally well-covered. The author, a well-known chess pedagogue, offers a wide range of advice, but one point he makes will bring great benefit to a new generation of players introduced to the game by online play and fast time controls is: ""Understanding and logic are everything you need with static positions on the board."" This observation can be translated in various ways, but one is that in many positions trying to calculate long and sharp variations is counterproductive and judgment is more important.
