Associative Thinking: How To Connect Patterns And Creativity In Chess is a new book by Mikhail Shereshevsky, one of the world’s most respected chess trainers. Published by New In Chess, it focuses on associative thinking and how modern players can turn curiosity into stronger understanding.
Rather than memorizing moves mechanically, the book encourages you to build vivid associations around chess ideas such as knight and pawn coordination, rook placement behind or beside a passed pawn, and pawn placement in bishop-versus-knight positions. Shereshevsky shows how studying great games can sharpen this skill.
Special attention is given to Ulf Andersson, Anatoly Karpov, Vladimir Kramnik, and Magnus Carlsen, with comments from players themselves helping illustrate key ideas. Learn more in our Chess Books collection and explore another training-focused read like Nic Yearbook 121 - Paperback Edition.
