How to exploit on the board the positive and negative factors.

How can you tell if a piece is strong or weak? Or is a box strong or weak? These are the main issues that Grandmaster and Coach Drazen Marovic deals with in this interesting book.

With very detailed comments, Marovic explains how to recognize the positives and negatives of the positions and how to use them to their advantage by exploiting the opponent's weaknesses.
