Chess - From Beginner to Grandmaster: The Blueprint for Unlocking Your Own Chess Potential Kindle Edition

An excellent book for a beginner which covers the essential aspects of how to plan, study and improve your game. It exposes you to important topics like end game, middle game, basic tactics which are sufficient for a beginner to start playing confidently. It does not exhaust you with endless variations but instills the importance of calculating variations over the board. Some games from year 2015 are also discussed. They point you to studies which will improve calculation, ability to defend inferior positions etc. We have to spend time on these studies regularly to improve our skill. I think this is one of the best books for a beginner as explanations are simple and easy to understand. This book is geared towards players around 1400 to 2200 FIDE rating. It takes time to develop the skills taught in this book and it needs repeated reading. A very good addition to a chess player's library.  Chess - From Beginner to Grandmaster: The Blueprint for Unlocking Your Own Chess Potential

Most of the material in the book will be known by a FIDE ELO 1200 TO 1400 player. It also gives a few rules however there are no universally applicabi rules. This point with comments on the authors work without naming names has been made in Applying Logic in chess.

Nice book. Suitable for intermediate to advanced levels. Well structured. Great effort by the author. Much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Great book that taught me pawn structures, calculation, and fundamentals. I still have to reference it though to shake off the dust

Don't have much to say. Haven't ordered the book. If I have it has not been received.
