He has won the US Open, the American Open, and the National Open, and was the coach of the US junior national chess team. Silman has authored over 35 books, mostly on chess but also on casino gambling, and has written articles for chess magazines such as ''Chess Life'' and ''New in Chess''.〔(Jeremy Silman - Articles ) New in Chess〕 He has also authored many chess mentoring puzzles on the chess.com website. Silman is the professor in a video chess course produced by The Teaching Company as part of its Great Courses series. Silman served as a chess consultant on the 2001 Harry Potter film ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'',〔(Harry Potter's Chess Teacher ) Robert Coontz, The Muse Fan Page, September 2002〕 ''Monk'', and ''Malcolm in the Middle''. ==Strategy of Imbalances== In his books, Silman evaluates positions according to the "imbalances", or differences, which exist in every position, and advocates that players plan their play according to these. A good plan according to Silman is one which highlights the positive imbalances in the position. The imbalances are, in rough descending order of importance according to Dana Mackenzie: *superior minor piece, which refers to the relative strength of the knights and bishops; *pawn structure; *spatial control; *material; in his Chess Life series ''The Art of Planning'', Silman called this the most important imbalance because it had an impact on every phase of the game; *control of open files, diagonals, and squares; *development; *initiative; Silman notes that this (along with superior development) is a dynamic imbalance that must be used quickly if the advantage is not to fade away. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeremy Silman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
