The Art of Planning -- an OK Game Collection, But Who's the Target Audience?
By Howard Goldowsky
This is a review for Neil McDonald's first two instructive game collection books.
Neil McDonald has started to pop out game collections at a rate a little faster than he should. His first effort was Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking: From the First Move to the Last, which includes mostly modern games and a few classics, all grouped by opening. His second effort, The Art of Planning in Chess: Move by Move, covers all modern games, grouped by strategic theme. When the writer's notes are mostly prose, as they are in these two books, the writer has a tendency to disconnect the prose with the relevant variations. I felt that McDonald does a better job handling this connection using classic games than he does in using the more modern games. So, in this sense, the first book is a little better and targeted at a slightly lower rated audience. The first book also begins its move-by-move approach in the opening, where the planning book assumes that the reader already has that phase of the game under control.
It doesn't help that modern games are extremely complex affairs. Modern games require precise, razor-sharp calculation, in addition to highly sophisticated strategic thinking. In The Art of Planning in Chess: Move by Move, which covers modern games, McDonald upped the sophistication of his notes a notch, to accommodate a higher-rated audience, but I didn't feel as if the higher-level notes carried the book as well as they should have; and, to be honest, the book isn't really about planning -- it's just a collection of instructive games, with mostly prose notes, like the first book. Don't buy The Art of Planning in Chess if you're looking for a treatise on planning. Buy The Amateur's Mind: Turning Chess Misconceptions into Chess Mastery or How to Reassess Your Chess: The Complete Chess-Mastery Course(Exp. 3rd Edition). Either of these books is more about what you're looking for.
The problem with McDonald's annotation style is that he tends to gloss over important variations. When notes are mostly prose, it's important to include the most important suboptimal variations that your lower-rated readership might want to see. Unlike Chernev's Logical Chess: Move By Move: Every Move Explained New Algebraic Edition or Euwe's Chess Master vs. Chess Amateur, two better books in the move-by-move genre that really get to the heart of what lower-rated players might be thinking, McDonald's work doesn't quite hit the mark.
Both books have typos and comma usage errors, the Art of Planning more so than Logical Thinking. The highlight of the two books is McDonald's extensive annotation to Cheparinov-Ivanchuk, Khanty-Minkyisk, 2005. We are treated to 13 pages of prose that vividly illuminates the positional maneuvering manufactured by these two top players in a delicate line of the Benko Gambit.
In general, McDonald's move-by-move books are good if you've already gone through the more classic books mentioned in this review and are looking for more. The notes will not harm your play, they just don't prove to be inspiring.

you won't regret buying it
By Elizabeth Zoe Vicary
i love this book. most chess books of this type, meaning the "heavy on verbal explanation, minimum of variations" aren't so interesting for people over 1600, but this one is. mcdonald uses modern games (up to 2006!) and isn't afraid to talk about more sophisticated positional ideas. not heavy duty study material, but extremely readable and useful stuff. also unusually nice font, cover, paper, typesetting.
my favorite quote: "Now all four units are grouped together in a mutually defending diamond shape."

Best way to get into studying master games
By Alexander Goncharov
Chess is like a language, you need to see how it is used in a whole variety of situations. Complete games by masters is the best material for study using full immersion into various ideas, plans, techniques all being highly interrelated. This book helps to do it with well-commented games focusing on strategic principles. Many games are very modern and highly instructive; and the verbose style is highly attractive, especially for young players, who wants to grasp the art of studying master games on their own. Using this book, one could feel the presence of very experience coach, who knows what message an inspiring player should get from the games presented.
Of course, there are few other books with a similar approach (teaching by example in complete master games move by move), why is this book so exceptional? The engaging style of discussion, the quality of examples, and a good balance of game analysis with general commentary on strategic principles. This is ideal for player in 1200-1600 range maybe up to 1800. There is a sequel to this book by Neil Mcdonald (Chess Success: Planning After the Opening) from Batsford publisher, featuring the same high quality binding, beautiful page layout that is on par with Gambit books. Boths books are highly recommended for those who needs guidance and motivation to study master games. For those, who mastered these books, the famous book by John Nunn "Understanding Chess: Move by move" is a good next step.
