The Chess Deck

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Learn about chess tactics and test your skills with this oversize deck of 54 cards from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Win at Chess, International Master and YouTube's top chess teacher Levy Rozman (aka GothamChess).

Chess is all about practice. With this interactive, immersive deck of 54 cards, Levy Rozman distills the most important information players need to know in order to practice right. Fifty cards with chessboard diagrams feature the best openings for black and white; tactics to know like forks, pins, and skewers; historical games to learn from; and brainteasers to test your skills. Two introductory cards explain how each of the six pieces moves and how to understand chess notation so you can analyse positions.

Suitable for those who have a rudimentary understanding of chess but challenging enough for more seasoned players, The Chess Deck will help ensure victory. Checkmate awaits!
