Rizzitano presents lessons from his own experiences that will be most relevant to club and tournament players. He shows how by analyzing their own games, players can gain a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and he explains they can shape their approach to chess to make the most of their abilities. Major topics include: developing a reliable and coherent opening repertoire; the importance of understanding opening theory rather than simply memorizing it; theoretical novelties; finding your own, and facing the opponent's; opening selection depending upon the nature of the game and event; risk management and 'playing for a win'; competing successfully against higher-rated opposition; accumulating small advantages; a safe method when the opponent plays for a draw; and the power of the initiative; lighting a fire and keeping it burning.
