Product Information

It covers basic openings, endgames, tactics, and strategy - first at the beginner level, and then at the intermediate level. Those of you who are perceptive might have already detected a subtext that I have some reservations. 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.

With this book he takes beginners by their hands and patiently helps them navigating through the confusing and overwhelming world of those sixty-four black and white squares. Learn chess from International Master and YouTube's top chess teacher Levy Rozman (aka GothamChess) in this refreshing and fun guide for beginner and intermediate playersHow to Win at Chess teaches. Rozman first shot to fame following the release of The Queen's Gambit limited series starring Anya Taylor-Joy, after which he his shambolic yet charismatic personality began attracting legions of new followers from one month to the next. The only true downside is that it was supposed to be aimed at “intermediate” players as well, and since I myself am an intermediate player, I hoped to benefit.This chapter is fifteen pages of brilliance, especially for a beginner-intermediate player, and I wish more of the book was like this. Notably, the book had previously achieved the top ranking in the first two aforementioned categories. Rozman’s content primarily revolves around creating instructional videos, analysis of famous games, chess tactics, and strategy breakdowns.

For instance, I first learnt of the Vienna Game from his channel, and then later, bought his e4 course to understand it better.The book covers the introductory basis of chess - the board, the pieces, how they move, and the rules. It's a really entertaining read, with fun facts, witty anecdotes, and a whole lot of personality accompanying every sentence of this guide. Love this book - I am around 900 and found it great refreshing the basics and then developing further. He breaks down the details of chess in a way that is simultaneously easy to follow and yet not pandering to the uneducated.
