Better thinking for better chess

This book is based upon a directed study that I did back in 1988 as a part of my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Although I have made some corrections in gramar, spelling and the formatting of some tables, it is basically the same report that I turned in back then. This book is intended for those chess players who are interested in how chess players think and also have some understanding of psychology and statistics. This is Volume 1 of the series. Volume 2 is going to be more practical "hands on" advice. Volume 1 will give the background for what wil come in Volume 2.
