I wrote this book in the first part of 2012 in the aftermath of a gruesomely awful tournament performance! The book looked back to this tournament, and also to my results from the previous year (which were much better) and attempted to pinpoint some of the reasons for my failure. I have a full time job nowadays so this book was mostly written in the early hours of the morning! It’s a very good reflection of how I think about chess and I think the whole process made me realise how much I love chess, even when it’s all going wrong!
