How To Win at Chess Like a Master: Learn How To Play Chess And Win With Tactics And Strategy.: Guide to Understanding Chess Fundamentals and Improving (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798325436642)

How to improve in chess? How can you defeat opponents with higher levels? How to beat any opponent at chess?

This beautiful sport-science is one of the few that, compared to other sports or activities, doesn't improve by practicing!
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but chess cannot be improved by playing alone; otherwise, the oldest player would be the best in the world, right?

Of course, considerable improvement is possible, but it's not the best way. The best way to improve is by studying, studying, and studying. But... what should you study?

First, you must learn the rules and how to move the pieces, then learn the basic principles.
However, if you want to improve your game, you must analyze your games and the games of other players.

Some say that, as beginners, you should start studying openings, then the middle game, and finally the endgame.
But there couldn't be anything more wrong than that idea. Memorizing the main openings is useless if you don't understand the essence of these positions.

Beginners should first focus on understanding the positions and the moves made; that's why you have to study your own games and those of other players, understand the reason behind the moves.
