Thinking methods are at the heart of the chess struggle, yet most players devote little conscious effort to improving their calculating ability. Much of the previous literature on the subject has presented idealized models that have limited relevance to the hurly-burly of practical chess, or else provide little more than ad hoc suggestions.

He also offers advice on when it is best to calculate 'like a machine', and when it is better to rely on intuitive assessment.
