"THE GRANDMASTER STRATEGY TRAINING LIBRARY"

E-Book Volume 1: Chess Strategy

I highly recommend that you read this book first. It contains many of the tactics and explanations that you will need to understand before moving to the other volumes in the training library.

E-Book Volume 1.5: The Blue Book Of Chess

This book discusses 34 different openings in detail, contains 67 pages analyzing various end-game senarios, and contains pgn notation for 85 games. If you have read Ebook Volume 1 and are solidly grounded in its principles of chess strategy, read this book.

E-Book Volume 2: Chess and Checkers, The Way to Mastery

This book is recommended mainly for beginning and intermediate chess players.. If you are an advanced chess player, some of the information contained in this book may be too rudimentary for you.

E-Book Volume 3: Chess History and Reminiscences

E-Book Volume 4: Chess Problems Made Easy

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not familiar with the concept of "Chess Problems" I strongly encourage you to FIRST read the section on "Chess Problems" in VOLUME 2, then this volume, Chess Problems Made Easy.

If you are already well versed in solving Chess Problems Volume 4 will still be useful to you.

A chess problem is a composed arrangement of pieces with a single, often surprising, solution. Many different sorts of problems exist, and sometimes look as though they really have been composed - that is, nothing like that would happen in a real game. However, the advantage of training your mind to solve chess problems is that when you are in a real game, you are used to getting yourself out of tight situations with limited options. This is especially useful if you are frequently in a position where you are surprised at your opponent's movements on the board.

Ideally, the chess game rarely involves the element of surprise because most of the tactics are known from previous experience and the question is merely whether the player concerned is familiar with them. However, unless you are an advanced chess player, you will probably encounter tactics you've never seen before as you play more experienced players. Chess problems can help you overcome. It is true, chess problem thinking is somewhat different from chess thinking, but the same principles apply. Once you've seen a pattern or a theme a couple times, you become empowered to see it in other situations.

I challenge you to work on solving chess problems from the volumes below. They will train your mind to think strategically, to see the board as a whole, and to run through your options quickly. The quicker you can solve chess problems when you are by yourself, the quicker you'll be able to formulate plans during a chess game with a real opponent.

For instance, your end game can be strengthened if you spend several hours practicing solving end game problems (problems where there are only a few pieces on the board).
