In this book Lars Bo Hansen shows how chess understanding has evolved and explains how and why a study of great champions of the past and present will significantly improve your chess. Although modern chess is a highly concrete game where calculation is a paramount and principles often appear to take a back seat. Hansen argues that the principles have become implicit at top level: "you cannot win games only following Steinitz's or Nimzowitsch's principles, but you will certainly lose games if you dont know these principles!"
