Are you a beginner chess player looking to make significant progress quickly? Or are you a trainer looking to provide your students with a solid and well-thought-out foundation? Then *Smarter Chess* is exactly what you are looking for.
Although tactical exercises are readily available everywhere, many players lack a deep understanding of the fundamentals. This book fills that gap with clear, bite-sized lessons on all essential aspects of the game: openings, strategy, endgame, and more. You build your knowledge “step by step” and develop a stronger insight into the game of chess.
Additionally, the authors offer a unique look into the world of chess: how tournaments run, what to expect at a chess club, and how to prepare optimally. Thanks to carefully designed exercises, you can test your own progress, while trainers receive immediately usable teaching material.
International Master Tom Piceu and beginner chess player Annelies Daniels join forces in a unique collaboration. Their combination of expertise and a fresh perspective results in an accessible and structured book that bridges the gap between absolute beginners and players with tournament experience.
