The Comfort Zone by GM Daniel Gormally
Keys to Your Chess Success

Have you ever wondered why you do well in certain tournaments and not in others? If your opening choices are the right ones? If your attacking play is good, bad or Tinder swipe left ugly?

In this entertaining account, the author explains how, to achieve success in chess, we need to understand what works for us, but to achieve true mastery we should prepare to go beyond our zone of comfort.

Along the way he takes us on a journey through his own world of discovery and explains how he became one of the best chess players in England. It’s a deeply honest and at times tragi-comic memoir as he reveals his strategy for taking on his biggest rivals and how best to use computers to improve your chess.
