"How to win at chess" from GothamChess

Hi chess enthusiasts,

If you're looking for a chess book, you should definitely buy "How to Win at Chess" by @GothamChess. It's perfect for both beginners and intermediate players.

In Part 1 (0-800 ELO), you'll learn how games are won, lost, and drawn. It covers the best way to start a game with both white and black pieces, basic endgames, checkmating combinations in the middlegame, how pieces interact, and fundamental strategies like exploiting weaknesses and controlling space.

Part 2 (800-1200 ELO) teaches you to choose the best openings, like the London System for white and the Caro-Kann for black. You'll also learn to play endgames like a champion, spot common patterns to create spectacular combinations, evaluate any position correctly, and neutralize your opponent's plans.

Another great reason to get this book is that it includes QR codes that link to his website, Chessly.com. There, you can practice tactics and openings, and even play against a Levy bot. I tried the free trial myself, and it was really good. The best part is, the book is very affordable.

In short, it's an excellent book for beginners and intermediate players. The explanations are simple, and the length is just right—not too long, but not too short. I think it's a fantastic resource.
