In Response To: Chess, Cheating, Psychology, Analogy (scotty)

I've read some of Kahnemann's work and it is definitely interesting and instructive. However, in my opinion, most of the concepts apply only in an indirect way to playing a "mind sport" like backgammon. I would personally recommend Krogius's Psychology in Chess over Kahnemann to someone looking for insights that are more directly applicable to the practical player.
