10 Great Ways to Get Better at Chess (Everyman Chess)

Stop Guessing. Start Improving.

Every chess player wants to get better. But most don't know where to start — should you study openings? Tactics? Endgames? Play more games? The uncertainty is paralyzing, and without the right direction, improvement stalls.

Grandmaster and renowned chess trainer Nigel Davies cuts through the noise. Drawing on years of coaching real students — players just like you — he maps out exactly what works, what doesn't, and why.

What You'll Learn:

• The 10 most effective methods for measurable chess improvement
• How to identify and fix the specific weaknesses holding your game back
• Real examples from Davies' own students who made rapid progress
• How to balance openings, tactics, strategy, and endgames in your study plan
• How to learn from your losses — not just survive them

Why This Book Works

Unlike generic chess improvement guides, Davies doesn't just tell you what to study — he shows you how real players improved, with the games and thought processes to prove it. It's a coaching session in book form.

Written by a GM. Proven by students. Built for players who are serious about getting better.
