Heisman, a National Master and celebrated chess instructor, instructs readers on how to analyse their own games with rigour and honesty — a skill widely regarded as one of the most powerful engines of chess improvement — walking them through the thought processes, notational methods, and self-critical habits that separate the casual player from the serious student of the game.\n\nPublished by Chess Enterprises in 1995, this practical and methodical work argues that the ability to annotate — to record not just moves, but intentions, mistakes, and missed opportunities — is central to mastering chess at any level. Heisman's prose is clear, encouraging, and authoritative, reflecting a teaching philosophy honed over decades of coaching players of all abilities. Whether you are picking up a chess notation book for the first time or seeking to sharpen an already competitive game, this volume presents a rare roadmap to self-improvement that will leave you questioning every move you thought you understood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203228606683,"sku":"2026100009599-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f90bf0f0-b887-4bcf-8c0f-1500857b0d04.png?v=1788146199","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009599-secondhand-the-improving-annotator-from-beginner-to-master","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
