CARTE: The Thinking Process in Chess, by Lukasz Jarmula - Thinkers Publishing

The Thinking Process in Chess

Exercises and Insights from a Coach’s Perspective

An exercise book for advanced players, based on years of the author's work as a chess coach. The positions come from original training materials created for private coaching sessions, and almost all of them have been worked through with students – so the solutions also address the moves players typically suggest and the difficulties they face.

The book contains 75 exercises on 3 Complexity Levels, based on 47 different games. Each position is presented simply as "side to move", without hints about what should be achieved, to simulate real decision making in a practical game. Suggested thinking time is 10 minutes for Level 1, 20 minutes for Level 2 and 30 minutes for Level 3.

The solutions are explanatory both in variations and in words, and go beyond the concrete position to show what general lessons about the chess thinking process can be drawn from it. A recurring theme is striving for maximum activity, which chess so often rewards over purely material or defensive concerns.
