Grandmaster and renowned chess coach Zenón Franco provides a training course designed to help all aspiring players to improve their chess. During each lesson, you are invited to play a 'game' in which you try to find the best moves at all the important moments. Points are awarded for selecting the best moves – and are deducted for selecting blunders! At the end of each lesson there is a points scale to indicate how well you have 'played'. This means you are able to accurately measure your progress as you work through the book. Readers are tested in all aspects of chess: attack, defence, counterattack,tactics, structures, strategy, endgames and so on. Following this interactive course of lessons is an ideal way to improve your game.
- A structured course of chess training
- Includes 40 deeply annotated exercise games
- Ideal for both chess students and trainers
"The tried-and-true method of chess improvement is to play over well-annotated master games, and Test Your Chess provides an excellent and instructive means to that end. Readers who take the time to complete each lesson will surely see the results, be it greater tactical awareness, deeper positional knowledge, or more confidence in the endgame. (5 out of 6)"
