Learn Chess the Right Way: Book 1: Must Know CheckmatesThe Polgar Way to Better Chess!
Learn Chess the Right Way is a
five-volume chess puzzle book series aimed at the novice, beginner and
intermediate level player, using the unique methods of the award-winning
coach and former world champion Susan Polgar. It introduces the most
important checkmate and material-winning tactics, as well as defensive
techniques to the new chess player. Each of the five volumes will
consist of 500 puzzles.
In Book 1, the focus is on one-move
checkmate exercises. In each of the first five chapters, a specific
piece delivers checkmate (in Chapter 1: the queen, Chapter 2: the rook,
and so on). In Chapters 6-8, checkmates which involve special tactics
(such as pins, discovered attacks, etc.) are introduced. Chapter 9 has a
mixed collection of puzzles, without any hint about which piece is to
deliver checkmate. Chapter 10 builds on the previous 9 chapters, and
introduces basic patterns of checkmate in two moves.
With over 40
years of experience as a world-class player and coach, international
grandmaster Susan Polgar has developed the most effective way to help
young players and beginners Learn Chess the Right Way. Let her show you
the way to understanding the most common and critical patterns and let
her show you the way to becoming a better player.
