Save the tie game, or turn an imminent defeat into a stunning victory, with the advice in this practical training manual!
In Defending Under Pressure and Managing Your Emotions at the Chessboard, the author, who has a PhD in behavioral science (good timing!), uses critical moments from his own tournament games (most against players ranked above 2200) to describe the difficulties of thinking correctly when the enemy is on the brink of victory, then describes methods and techniques for taking your mind off things, evaluating the position and finding the best move. Techniques include how to avoid redundant pieces that severely limit your mobility, when visualization is more important than calculation, and freeze-framing positions to eliminate blunders. 237 pages
