How to choose a chess move by Andrew Soltis

An interesting book on the thought processes involved in choosing chess moves. If you've ever read Think like a grandmaster by A. A. Kotov you should also read this book. If you haven't you should consider reading this book first. It has lots of examples of games in which certain techniques were used to choose a move. Intuition is one of the techniques that are mentioned that of course can only be a good idea when you have enough experience to make use of it. If you don't have much chess experience your intuition will probably give you a bad move which is why you'll have to resort to correct analysis and evaluation. I highly recommend this book I don't however make claims of rating improvement from any book I review.
