How to Win At Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond

This was an enjoyable read from start to finish. Even for an intermediate Chess player like myself, I enjoyed reacquainting myself with the basic rules and starting blocks for playing Chess. In the early sections I was even reminded of some tiny nuggets I had forgotten about. The book gets a little more detailed as it goes on and introduces a very useful interaction feature via QR codes on the pages. I had already learned a lot about Chess opening on YouTube before I purchased this book, and my knowledge was solidified and backed up by some strong theory and useful examples provided by Levy, who is amusing throughout and anyone who has seen his videos on YouTube will recognise his unique tone of voice when reading this book. However, a stronger understanding of openings are not the only advantage of reading this. As the book develops, so does your knowledge of the mid-game and endgame strategies which are so often disregarded by those trying to improve their Chess game. Learning about endgame theory was a new thing for me but it has solidified by thinking when playing Chess online - I now have a greater understanding of how to close out Chess games and my understanding of moves has improved significantly - some moves which I previously thought of as unimportant or were just being made for the sake of it towards the end of a game. Ultimately this is a good read for Chess enthusiasts of all levels. Anyone who plays should always keep their mind active with a bit of theory and this book is perfect for that. Levy is a very useful teacher and caters for all levels of Chess player. From beginner to expert there is something for you here and plenty to learn from his priceless experience and tactical nouse. A welcome addition to my bookcase, many thanks.

I love this book. I am a chess beginner, after reading just chapter 1 it transformed my understanding of the game. I am excited to keep going!

When is a book more than just a book?? When it's also an entire chess learning platform. How to Win At Chess is an incredible chess resource. Most chess books are hard to navigate, difficult to read, and almost always require a physical chess board while reading. What do we want? To look at our phones!! When do we want it? All the time!!! Let's face it, most of us can't read a book without stopping to look at our phones every few minutes. What Levy has done with How to Win At Chess is nothing short of remarkable. Each chapter is written in short, easy to digest segments, and at the end of each one there's a QR code to jump straight into practicing the skills on your phone or laptop. Combining a physical book with a digital learning platform make learning chess 1000x more efficient. - Book contents 10/10 - Clear simple language 10/10 - Practical guide to playing 10/10 - Skill improvement 10/10 - A great excuse to stare at my phone 11/10 I liked the book so much I bought the hardback and the kindle version so, I've always got it with me. Seriously, buy the book, become a better chess player.

Great book

An absolute must for all chess players who want to continue the journey.well written witty and instructive .

Written in a simple way that makes it easy to learn and understand the game of Chess. Also makes the learning experience fun.

Very good book, my son happy!

The book is far clearer than most I've read that tend to go off down several paths and you don't know where one part ends and the next begins. The book only arrived about an hour ago, and I've read the first 60 pages or so. There are plenty of diagrams and the books follows a path with chess boards after a move so you don't have to visualise the notation being applied in your head, or spin up chess.com. I've also started following his Youtube channel and he's got equally amazing content there too. Keep up the great and informative work. Chapter 14 alone made the book worthwhile for me. If I was to say anything critical it would be the coverage of Black Gambits. The examples enabled the author to use creative license - but the responses were not anything a sane chess player would respond with.

It is best chess book for it tell all about chess rules

Yeah, Levy makes it simple and easy for all ages to get into the game even if your knowledge of the game is at zero. My girls got into it right away. I should also recommend the book for babies. It’s a must for toddlers!

Kapak kısmından hafif yırtık geldi. 4 tane kalın kitabı basit bir zarfa koymuşlar ve tüm avrupayı bu şekilde dolaştı ve tabi üstteki kitap hafif yırtılmıştı.

Finally bit the bullet and got Levy's book. Kid likes it so all good

I think you must read this book if you’re a new to chess or even a professional this book is one of the best books I’ve ever read
