Summary
Reuben Fine: The Psychology of a Chess Player
It has been intensively thought for a long time what is the special ability that separates great chess players from other people. Unfortunately, science has not paid enough attention to this issue. The main stumbling block is that the psychologists who dealt with this question, like Bine, were not first-rate chess players and therefore did not have direct access to the mental processes that take place in grandmaster chess. That is why this analysis by Reuben Fine is a very interesting book - brilliantly written, sometimes controversial, but permanently stimulating.
