Understanding Chess Move by Move
Book •
John Nunn's 'Understanding Chess Move by Move' follows the pedagogical tradition of annotating games move-by-move but uses modern examples and deeper analysis suited to intermediate and advanced club players.
Nunn combines his grandmaster experience and analytical rigor to explain strategic ideas, calculation, and plans in each position, often contrasting with older heuristic rules.
The book aims to teach thinking methods and modern strategic concepts, bridging classical instruction and contemporary engine-informed understanding.
It is intended as a successor in spirit to Chernev's work but updated for current practice and higher-level readers.
