Dražen Marović - Secrets of Chess Transformations

Dražen Marović is a veteran grandmaster with experience as a player, trainer, writer, editor and television commentator. Following three of his recent books from the same publisher, Understanding Pawn Play in Chess (2000), Dynamic Pawn Play in Chess (2001), and Secrets of Positional Chess (2003), Marović’s recent Secrets of Chess Transformations (2004) would be of interest even if it were titled simply GM Marovic Presents Over 250 Chess Positions, Old and New, With Notes and Explanations. The author aims for more than that:

Understanding Pawn Play in Chess discussed elementary pawn-structures, Dynamic Pawn Play in Chess dealt with the center and its subtle relation with pawn-formations, and Secrets of Positional Chess focused on the strength and weakness of pieces and space... In writing this book, my intention was to throw more light on the essence of the game of chess, its never-ending changing of values, the unceasing metamorphosis of the three elements it consists of – material, space and time...

This is the alchemy that a successful chess player performs: starting only with the advantage of the first move, relentlessly adjusting and increasing and transforming one advantage into another; collecting what an opponent contributes, and folding it in; arriving at the amalgamated end product: 1-0.
