The Chessmaster Checklist

An instructional and invaluable book about the crucial questions that masters ask themselves before committing to a move and how knowing the answers will improve your play.

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

An instructional book about the crucial questions that masters ask themselves before committing to a move.

Beginners learn to ask themselves the key questions. As they improve, they ask more sophisticated questions: 'What did my opponent's last move allow me to do?', 'Where is his position weakest?', 'Should I take an irrevocable step now or wait?' For chess master players, these are almost subconscious checklist questions.

A key to improving is to ask all of these questions and find the right answers. The Chessmaster Checklist is aimed at players who are well past being beginners but far from becoming masters.
