Tiger’s Chaos Theory (Hardcover)

Tiger’s Chaos Theory : An inspirational journey by Tiger Hillarp-Persson (Edition Hardcover).

Have you ever admired an amazing game of chess, simultaneously thinking “I could never play like that”? In Tiger’s Chaos Theory, you will find a different perspective, treating extraordinary play and creativity as a learnable skill. Thinking outside the box is a stock phrase of the commentators; champions expand their box.

GM Tiger Hillarp Persson is renowned as one of the most creative and original thinkers in chess – attributes he developed through targeted study. Tiger shares how to map patterns and navigate the outrageous, using games and ideas that helped him expand his creative approach.

Tiger’s Chaos Theory will take you on an inspirational journey, featuring concepts such as extreme Hecatomb sacrifices, Houdini-style pawn breakouts and even becoming another player at the board. With thought-provoking chess content, amusing anecdotes and candid reflections on the author’s games and career, this book is unmissable.

Tiger Hillarp Persson learned to play chess at the age of 11 and became a grandmaster at 29. He is self-coached, and has performed all the experiments in this book on himself and hundreds of students.
