Book Description
Professionals know that during the course of a game, the value of chess pieces change. And they use this knowledge to decide which pieces to exchange--and when. International grandmaster Andrew Soltis, the author of Bobby Fischer Rediscovered, helps pass this important information on to novices so they can benefit, too. He investigates why the traditional "chart of relative values" or computer analysis so often fails to explain why certain trades and sacrifices work and others just don't. All the typical decisions a player has to make, such as whether to swap two minor pieces for rook and pawn, receive detailed scrutiny. Players will appreciate the insightful analysis.

Sound Material That We Have Seen Before.......2006-03-05
I am a tournament player (USCF 2140) looking for good books to help me improve. This book has sound material but little that is new. I kept running into ideas that I had already seen in many other instructional books.
The central point in RETHINKING THE PIECES is that you win chess games by making your pieces worth more than your opponent's pieces. Everyone gets that idea. But how do you do that? Soltis tries to answer this question thoroughly, giving plenty of clear examples of his points.
Soltis argues that your pieces are worth more than their normal value when they achieve great mobility, when they have ready targets, and when they coordinate their actions. Conversely, your pieces become worth less than their normal value when they lose mobility, when they lack targets, and when they fail to work together.
Soltis also maintains that your pieces are worth less than their normal values when they suffer from a change in board range and from redundancy. These ideas are certainly not that hard to grasp, as some examples will show:
An example of mobility: centralized pieces are usually worth more than decentralized ones, because they have many more moves in every direction and therefore can react quickly to needs all over the board. So fight to centralize your pieces.
An example of targets: in an endgame with a queen versus two rooks, the queen is worth more when the side with the rooks has unprotected pieces and pawns (targets), along with a king that is vulnerable to checking (the means to get to the targets), because then the queen becomes a terror, munching material ravenously through her double attacks. If you have the option of getting a queen for two rooks in such a position, then do so.
An example of piece coordination: a queen, bishop, and knight attacking the enemy king in concert are worth more than normal, and usually are worth much more than the enemy queen, rook, and knight wallowing on the other side of the board where they cannot coordinate their actions. If you can achieve this situation through an exchange sacrifice, then sac that exchange.
An example of a change in board range: when the only pawns left are on one side, then the board has in effect shrunk. All the targeting, all the action, takes place on one side. This makes knights and kings more valuable than normal, as they are no less effective in smaller areas. It also makes bishops, rooks, and queens less valuable than normal, as their long-range powers become superfluous. This explains the maxim that in the endgame, with pawns on one side of the board only, a knight usually is more effective than a bishop. In such a situation, then, if you have the bishop, usually you should trade it for the knight; and if you have the knight, usually you should avoid trading it for the bishop.
An example of redundancy: you have two knights but only one good outpost square. Your second knight has no good square, and is therefore worth less than normal. You should therefore jump at the chance to trade that redundant knight for an enemy piece of equal or greater value.
In sum, Soltis recommends estimating the changing values of the pieces based on mobility, targets, coordination, board range, and redundancy.
After laying out his criteria so clearly, Soltis illustrates how they operate to guide you through many choices at the board. For example, two rooks beat a queen when a) the rooks have files upon which to operate (mobility), b) the side with the queen has isolated pawns (targets for the rooks), and c) the rooks are protected and connected (coordination). So when deciding whether or not to take the two rooks against the queen, look for those factors. Another example: in the early middlegame, a bishop and knight are usually worth much more than a rook and a pawn because unlike a rook they do not require an open file to move about (mobility), they are busy attacking enemy pawns and pieces while the rook waits behind its own pawns (targets), and they coordinate beautifully with a queen (coordination). So avoid giving up a bishop and knight for a rook and pawn in the early middlegame.
Does it seem that you have heard all this before? Maybe you have. Plenty of these ideas have appeared in other instructional books, from Tarrasch to Capablanca to Euwe and Kramer to Silman. Yet Soltis has gathered them together in one place and tied them together nicely with a set of clear criteria.
If you are a fairly strong tournament player, say about USCF class A or better, then you probably know most of the points in this book already. You know that knights tend to outperform bishops with pawns on one side of the board; probably you know that the bishop pair gets stronger in the endgame; you learned long ago not to grab that pawn on f7, trading your knight and bishop for the enemy rook and pawn; and so forth. You may not see much in this book that is new to you.
But if you are below class A, then probably this book can help you improve, if you study it seriously. Its ideas are certainly sound and useful.
Good but not practical.......2005-12-28
It's a good book but it's not on the practical side.
The researched facts.......2005-10-06
Okay. First of all, we have to acknowledge the person writing this book. It's Soltis. He has a quality background. Thus, when I received this book as a present, I awaited a quality book, and was not disappointed.
One of my first thoughts, funnily enough, was how bad the cover is. I expected it, even from Soltis, to be a terrible book. The cover and the size of the book is nothing to gasp at (218 pages).
This, however, is not the point. As opposed to say, Garry Kasparov's "My Great Predecessors" (which are also, incidentally, wonderful books, don't get me wrong), which clocks in at 400 pages, here every page is packed full of priceless knowledge, brought about by the general agreement of the world's top players.
So, what's it all about? While the title clearly says "rethinking" the chess pieces, and true, it dispels many illusions, this book shows you how to use your pieces. In particular, what to exchange and when.
What can be said? It's a nice book. Soltis, I was suprised to find, still has time to inject a little humor into the book. I quote to list an example:
(diagram given, Kd4, Qe4, kd7, nd8, ne8, White to play)
White has a considerable material difference, a +2 or +3 according to the typical chart or computer. Normally, a +2 advantage is enough to win, and here White has an edge that is several times greater than the edge that Black enjoys after 7. Nxf7 in the first diagram. In addition, White's pieces are well placed and Black's knights are far from active.
Yet since Giambattista Lolli analyzed such positions in the 1760's, this has been known to be a dead draw. You can search for sophisticated explainations of why this is possible but there is an obvious one: the value of Black's pieces increase vis a vis White's simply because Black has two of them and White has one.
(If you add a third black knight, material would be roughly equal. Yet it's easy to see the queen has virtually no winning chances. The knights would have excellent winning chances - three against one - except that White can sacrifice the queen and draw due to insufficient mating material.)
End of quote. While it won't make you roar in laughter (it's a chess book, remember?!), it makes for an enjoyable read.
What level is this recommended to? If you promise me to read it thoroughly and be critical about it, the average player. You should probably know basic strategical themes and tactics etc, but in general it's not an advanced work. It better not be. A patzer like myself is hooked on it.
There are different kinds of chess books. Kasparov's works, as mentioned earlier, cover many things- careers, anecdotes, games themselves, theoretical contributions, etc. Here you will find much less of that, and much more pure chess instruction in these lovingly-written pages.
Happy hunting!
Understanding the dynamism of chess........2005-07-22
To start off I must say that this is a book for intermediate and advanced students. If you are not familiar with basic tactical and strategic ideas you will not benefit much from this book.
I really believe that this is one of the most important chess books for practical players written in the past 10 or 15 years. The reason why is that it covers aspects of the game that must be termed "occult." But this does not mean that Soltis' explanations are obscure in any way, they are not. This is not a book on the "hows" of chess but on the "whys." Why are two rooks so much stronger than a queen in certain situations? Why do exchange sacrifices work? By understanding these aspects of the game we are much more likely to approach our own games with a deep understanding of the strategic ideas behind the positions we reach.
One important example of this depth can be found in the third chapter: Board Range. In this Soltis discusses a variant of chess that was played on a board with fewer than 64 squares. It was found that the value of pieces changed due to the change in board size. The knight became easily as valuable as a rook and almost as valuable as the queen. This is a perfect concrete explanation for why a knight will dominate a bishop in endgames with pawns on only one side of the board. This may seem trivial but understanding how the range of the board which is available to our pieces affects their efficiency is essential for making decisions concerning the trade of pieces and pawns or even the advance of pawns. What good is a rook that will be forever entombed on your first rank? As he states in the book: "it's not what goes off the board, it's what stays on" and "value depends on range."

Customer Reviews:
Really excellent.......2007-07-10
I started knowing nothing, and finished being very sure of how to select - and why to purchase specific ETFs. I've not found a better introductory book on the subject (and I hope Vanguard are paying the author a good sum for plenty of free advertising!)
Excellent intermediate level read.......2007-04-06
Mr. Wild is an entertaining writer, who breaks down what is appropriate for small, medium and wealth investors. My only wish is his chapter on sample portfolios were more detailed. I would have liked to see sample portfolios optimized for cost, risk tolerance, equity only and for those nearing and in retirement. Vanguard should consider giving away this book out to anyone opening an account with them, given how much he repeatedly triumphs Vanguard's nearly universal low fees!
Highly Recommended Introductory Guide to ETFs.......2007-03-18
Reading this 338-page book will make you a very intelligent ETF investor. Whether or not you will be successful depends on you. Russell Wild, the author, provides a solid, entertaining, and comprehensive analysis of ETFs - the latest Wall Street craze. ETFs have grown to over $400 billion in assets with over 438 ETFs in existence.
Wild begins with the history of ETFs. Then he compares ETFs to stocks and mutual funds including the tax implications of selling ETFs, and the differences in annual expense ratios. A comparison to closed-end funds would have also been helpful, since many investors are not familiar with that useful investment category.
One chapter introduces the need to open a brokerage account to buy and sell ETFs, and then focuses on the major firms offering them. Next, the author delves into the riskiness of ETFs, how risk is measured, and discusses beta and correlation. Many investors will learn a great deal about risk in this chapter, which they often neglect in making investment decisions.
The author has multiple chapters on the basic ETFs, including large and small caps focusing separately on value and growth, and then reviews sector ETFs, REIT ETFs, and commodity ETFs.
In one of the closing chapters, Wild provides sample ETFs portfolios for different risk levels, suggest that buy-and-hold is the way to go, and then provides a few exceptions to that approach. He also includes a chapter on using ETFs in retirement plans, as well as has chapters on the 10 most common questions about ETFs, and the 10 biggest mistakes investors make.
Wild includes a 12-page appendix from www.etfguide.com that contains a listing of 300 ETFs by broad categories, their name, ticker symbol, expense ratio and exchange. Since there are now 438 ETFs, this appendix is out-of-date and useless, wasting twelve pages. The reader can go directly to the website to get the latest listings.
Another appendix contains a cross section of ETF and other useful websites. Another excellent website to add to his list is www.etfscreen.com, which provides current short-term performance data after each day's market close on all the ETFs. The 6-page glossary of terms and the 14-page index all provide helpful information
In conclusion, this is simply the best introductory book on ETFs. The author provides many useful tables, charts and diagrams to bring home his key points. For those investors looking to actively trade or invest in ETFs, or are searching for profitable back-tested strategies the next book they should buy after this one is Marvin Appel's Investing With Exchange-Traded Funds Made Easy (see my review of this book on AMAZON). If investors/traders want to use a simple relative strength approach, then they should consider David Vomund's ETF Trading Strategies Revealed paperback recently released.
Best book on the subject on the market for individual investors.......2007-03-12
I am an investment advisor preparing to teach an adult education class on Index Investing. This book is by far the most current, concise and informative text available today. It is not only complete but easy to read. Mr. Wild's sense of humor makes every chapter a delight to read. Mr. Wild knows his subject. Read the book and you will too.
More than just ETFs.......2007-01-14
Even though this book is focused on ETFs, it is far more than just that. It actually covers investment strategy in an easy-to-understand manner. It compares ETFs to other investment vehicles, and demonstrates how to balance a portfolio to meet specific investment goals. What I found particularly valuable was Chapter 16 - Sample EFT Portfolio Menus. It is broken down by investment goals (i.e. - "Racing toward riches: a portfolio that may require a crash helmet.") and has specific ETFs and the proportions to meet the stated goal.
This is the best book I have ever seen for intermediate level investors. It informs without lecturing and provides specific, actionable recommendations.

Meaningful and illuminating View of mutual funds.......2007-02-25
Eric Tyson has written (well-written) a book that manages to blend just the right amount of detail with general material. As a novice in the arena of mutual funds, I can't imagine a better book to help you learn about mutual funds and how/what to invest.
There are many good things to say about this informative book, but I want to emphasize just 3: 1) Tyson has the uncanny and rare gift of presenting material that never condescends to the reader, but recognizes exactly how much knowledge a reader new to mutual funds can assimilate;
2) I appreciate his directness and honesty about specific mutual funds--he praises Vanguard throughout the book, while listing some other funds apposite for certain investing situations. 3)He genuinely cares about ordinary people gaining knowledge about how to invest and make wise decisions about money and investment (I highly recommend another of his Dummies books on investing.).
Highly recommended--even experienced mutual fund investors will learn a lot from this book.
Great book does just what it says on the cover........2007-02-21
I orderd the book knowing nothing about investing except that I need to start.Once I started the book I could not stop till it was finished.Its a great learning tool!!
A Primer On Mutual Funds.......2006-08-17
Lucid witing, good organization of material and entertaining to boot. For those of us who are intimidated by the jargon and have no idea what they are talking about on such TV programs such as "The Nightly Business News" this is a very good place to start.
Not for dummies--for everybody.......2006-08-14
As beginners' books go, this is about as good as it gets. Most books assume you know stuff. This one starts from zero and takes you as far as you care to go.
I gave a copy to each of my daughters so they could learn about investing earlier and better than I did. It's very readable, very thorough.
Had I started with this book instead of randomly taking whatever my library had I believe my learning curve would have not stayed level near 0 for as long as it did. The title--for Dummies--put me off, and that was a mistake in judgement.
I think there's room for improvement, so only 4 stars, but you won't find much better.
It's a good book if you know nothing.......2006-08-06
I read previous edition of this book when I did not know anything about mutual funds. I feel that my level of knowledge about different funds has increased substantially compared to before reading this book. Therefore, if you know nothing about funds, I recommend reading this book.

Excellent book on investing.......2004-11-23
Yes the book does not "get to the point" but that is because investing is a complicated business if you want to chase high returns. It can be simple if your willing to live with low to average returns. But I doubt that is what people buying this book are after. Bell does a really good job of laying out the options that are availiable in different market and personal condidtions. Overall he does a really good job of being evenhanded with different companies and financial instruments but his bias towards Index fund is pretty obvious (he even states it). This is a good thing however, as for 95% of long terms investors Index funds are probably the way to go. I also really liked how he stressed the importance of having an international portfolio. That is by far the most important thing I learned from this book. But then I have years of investing experience already.
Good book for beginners.......2004-03-21
This was my first book on investing. Great for beginners. Too much small talk and analogies. Author needs to get more to the point.

Customer Reviews:
Definitely worth a read if you're struggling financially.......2007-10-05
I got this book right after purchasing my first house, because I knew I needed help with several things: 1) staying on top of my money so I could pay the mortgage on time every month, 2) understanding all my options regarding things like refinancing my home and so on, 3) starting a savings account, and 4) some sort of retirement account sometime in the future. This book has helped me with all of those. The author seems somewhat conservative at certain points, and advises a few things I wouldn't do (or advises against things I don't think are as big of a risk as he does)--but hey, he's a finance guy, of course he's conservative! Overall, this book is very clearly and simply written, and exhaustive in what it covers. I feel like I'm well on my way toward much better financial health as a result of reading it.
Best Gift for Children - of all ages.......2007-08-25
Ive given away too many of my copies of this book. Now each of my three children have their own copy. It is making them much more responsible for their finances. And that is a parent's best gift- to ourselves.
comprehensive and concise.......2007-07-27
No matter how old you are or how much money you make, you can use the advice in this book. This book is not sensationalist in any way; the author does not try to apply one formula to everyone's financial situation. Instead, this book helps you realize on paper what your current financial picture looks like, and then helps you to form and plan sensible goals.
It comprehensively yet succinctly addresses banking, saving, investing, spending, debt management, taxes, real estate, and insurance.
10 years and the book is still useful.......2007-07-19
I bought this book in 1999 after my husband and I graduated and got jobs. We still use this book extensively. From getting the right type of insurance coverage to help planning our portfolio, this book has been invaluable.
The book is very practical - my husband and I have strong theoretical training in finance but needed this book to translate that knowledge into action.
This book will pay for itself in no time. Buy it!
I really like it.......2007-06-30
I have been clueless and careless about financial responsibilities. I have always had my parents to provide for me. After starting a family of my own, buying a house, and realizing I can't rely on my parent to provide for my retirement, I needed to learn about money. This book has been so informative and so on target. We have met with a financial advisor that has set up things for us before I even bought the book. So while reading, I'm realizing I could have done this on my own with the help of this book. It is very simple to read and understand (I'm not a genius or corporate world savy...just a suburban mom) and I enjoyed reading this and learning all sorts of ways to save and invest and pay off our many debts. I wish they supplied this book during high school before everyone starts racking up their debt.
