Reveal Your Chess Style
Use this unique book to identify your own individual chess-playing style, then discover a wealth of tips and tricks to avoid pitfalls, improve strengths and become the best player you can be.
Are you a Kasparov, a Carlsen or a Fischer? Use this book to identify your own unique chess style and discover how it aligns with the tactics of the game's greatest players. Then explore tips and tricks that help you avoid pitfalls, improve your strengths and become the best player you can be.
Every chess player has a naturally individual style of playing, based on the moves they like to play. Some people choose the kind of moves world champion Magnus Carlsen regularly uses, while others prefer a strategy favoured by the legendary Bobby Fischer. And some even find themselves emulating the way a chess computer works. But very few players are aware of how these moves fit together to create a consistent, personal chess style.
Reveal Your Chess Style begins with 200 diagrams, each with a multiple choice of possible moves for the reader to choose from. The second half of the book explains how the reader's choices reveal their hidden style, and which famous player they most identify with on the chessboard.
A host of advice is also included, on developing the player's style further to avoid regular errors, increase skill and win more games - or they may want to adopt traits from other styles instead! This truly original book, from an International Grandmaster and venerable chess author, is a must-have for anyone who wants to improve their game and really get to know themselves as a chess player.
