Nieuw bij Thinkers Publishing! Veel schakers denken dat succes vooral draait om een goed openingsrepertoire of een solide eindspelstrategie. Maar in “Schaken… zoveel meer dan een spel” laat Peter Ramaekers zien dat er veel meer bij komt kijken.

https://thinkerspublishing.com/product/schaken-zoveel-meer-dan-een-spel-peter-ramaekers/

Als wetenschapper en gepassioneerd schaker werpt hij een verhelderende blik op de mentale en psychologische factoren die prestaties aan het bord mee bepalen.

Concentratie, spanning, angst, geheugen – het zijn allemaal elementen die het verschil kunnen maken in een partij.

Aan de hand van partijfragmenten, inzichten uit de wetenschap én interviews met ervaren toernooispelers, krijgt de lezer een diepgaand inzicht in hoe het hoofd meespeelt aan het bord.

Ook het fenomeen van de gevreesde tegenstander, de zogenaamde “Angstgegner” komt aan bod.

En voor oudere spelers die hun spel willen opfrissen of versterken, biedt het boek een inspirerende trainingsaanpak.
