Reviews

Stjepan Tomić (chessreads.com)
“Every page introduces a new idea or a new concept, from determining your chess personality type to nutrition. Aagaard focuses on explaining concepts and principles, thinking patterns, and ways to improve decision-making over the board. Thinking Inside the Box is certainly one of the most entertaining chess books I’ve read, while being useful at the same time.”
