This book looks at the mental side of the game: how a player's psychology, and that of the people across from him, shapes the way they choose to play. Why are some players constantly aggressive while others hold back? Why does one style come easily to you while another feels foreign? The author explores these questions and explains why people approach the game as they do.
Along the way he offers adjustments for playing against different kinds of opponents, along with personal changes that can sharpen your results and make the game more enjoyable.
