In "Move First, Think Later," International Master Willy Hendriks dismantles the conventional wisdom that has long governed chess instruction. With an incisive wit and a keen eye for the realities of the game, Hendriks argues against the traditional belief that players must first form a plan, adhering to established rules and strategies, before choosing their moves. Instead, through a blend of engaging anecdotes and insights drawn from the latest scientific studies on the human brain, Hendriks proposes a radical approach: that the path to selecting the best move on the chessboard is often found through intuition and trial and error, rather than through the rigid application of theoretical principles. This provocative exploration is more than just a critique; it is a guide filled with practical advice and training material aimed at players seeking to elevate their game. Hendriks invites readers to reconsider what they know about learning and playing chess, challenging seasoned players and novices alike to embrace a more flexible and thoughtful perspective. With "Move First, Think Later," Hendriks doesn't just offer a new way to think about chess; he provides a fascinating lens through which to view the workings of the human mind, making a compelling case that sometimes, in chess as in life, the best move is to trust our instincts and learn from the outcome.
