Introduction
Many years ago, I remember
leaning chess at about the age of I 0
and spending hours moving pieces
around the board without really
knowing what I was doing.
Now I am teaching all levels from
beginners up to secondary school
pupils and it is relatively easy to
spot what each person needs to do
to improve their game.
Once a player has leant the
moves the key to improvement is
quick, friendly games, while trying
to implement basic principles. One
needs gradually to obtain
recognition of the possibilities on
the board.
Practice and repetition, like most
th ings , being undamental, the
patten of progress is normally
something like this:
step 3: within weeks or months
the penny usually drops and the
games speed up as the player is
more able to spot checkmates and
see captures in a shorter space of
time. The quality of games will still
be low at this stage as much is
overlooked.
step 4: games lengthen as the best
moves are searched for and some
strategy and openings come into
play. Finally a player is ready for
serious chess ...
This book is designed to help you
from step 1, right through as a
beginner to beyond "minor"
tounament level.
I have also put together many of
the questions I have been asked over
the years to guide player or parent
alike through the different aspects
of chess. I hope it will help to make
the chess scene enjoyable and
perhaps whet the appetite of many
to stat on the road to realising their
chess potential.
step 1: leaning the rules.
step 2: long uncertain games
while careully checking what each
piece can do.
