Find the Right Plan with Anatoly Karpov Review

Find the Right Plan with Anatoly Karpov
Average Reviews:

I have always been a big fan of Karpov's books. I own all three of his games collections books (Olms 2008, Batsford 1996, even RHM 1978) and all four books in the Openings in Action series. To say that this book is not in the league of those other brilliant books does not go far enough. This book isn't just un-brilliant, it's downright bad. The analysis isn't just uninspired, but almost nonexistent. The comments are quite mundane and totally uninstructive. This is the type of drivel I expect from Schiller, not Karpov. This book will not teach you to find the right plan, or anything at all about chess really.
I assume that the problem is that Matsukevich rather than Karpov wrote it with Karpov only lending his name to the cover. I will be very suspicious before buying another Karpov book in the future.

Can average chess players learn to plan their games like a grandmaster? Anatoly Karpov-the winningest world champion in history-says yes! With examples from his own matches, he breaks planning down into logical steps: evaluate the position, mobilize your forces, guard against threats to your king, control open lines. Through an orderly process, the attentive student will arrive at not just a plan, but the right plan. And as Karpov himself says, “Finding the right plan is the key to success.” Warmly and accessibly written, the book is an irresistible invitation to absorb a bit of the Karpov magic.
