La escuela como institución formadora tiene como objetivo educar la personalidad del educando para que este se inserte en su medio social y pueda participar y generar espacios sensibles y críticos, porque la enseñanza que deja huella en el corazón, es una verdadera enseñanza de la razón. Y esa es la enseñanza que se propone implementar en las aulas de todos los días: un espacio para que profesores y alumnos construyan Zonas de Desarrollo Próximos, (ZDP) siempre potenciales, enriquecidas con la experiencia del sujeto. Se exige una escuela transformadora y sensible, productora de destrezas-habilidades y conformadoras de competencias; trasmisora de valores. Se pide una escuela distinta, inclusiva.
El presente libro contribuye a cristalizar un aspecto en la enseñanza que se llama "investigación" que valora la posibilidad de pensar en la escuela y en el aula como un sistema de influencias que gestionan un sistema de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Viktor Moskalenko is one of the leading chess instructors of our time. Not only has he coached Masters and Grandmasters, including Ukrainian star Vasily Ivanchuk, he has also taught hundreds of classes for amateurs and his best-selling books have inspired thousands of ambitious club players all over the world. Moskalenko’s previous and highly popular chess opening books were mainly written for the Black pieces. Now he presents an extremely powerful set of lines for White. The guiding principle of his 1.d4 repertoire is: be bold and put pressure on your opponent as early as possible. Moskalenko does not shower you with long computer-generated variations but has a keen eye for the essence of positions. His talent to find new resources in well-known lines results in a host of novelties, daring recommendations and cunning tricks. When you play his lines and follow his recommendations you will frequently surprise your opponent and build up positions full of swing. Studying An Attacking Repertoire for White with 1.d4 is a delight because this is a typical Moskalenko book: practical, accessible, original and inspiring.
When was the last time you won a perfect game? A game that wasn’t tainted by inferior moves? Every chess player knows that smooth wins are the exception, that play is often chaotic and positions are frequently irrational. The road to victory is generally full of bumps and misadventures. Welcome to the world of imperfection! Chess books usually feature superbly played games, in Winning Ugly in Chess you will see games where weird moves are being rewarded. Cyrus Lakdawala knows that playing good chess is all very well, but that beating your opponent is better. He demonstrates the fine art of winning undeserved victories by miraculously surviving chaos, vile cheapos, refusing to resign in a lost position, lucky breaks, provoking unforced errors, improbable comebacks and other ways to land on your feet after a roller-coaster ride. Lakdawala shows how you can make sure that it is your opponent, not you, who makes the last blunder. If you’d rather win a bad game than lose a good one, then this your ideal guide. The next time ‘the wrong player’ wins, you will be that player!
