Oh.. thank you.
Needed it for a project I'm working on for this club https://www.chess.com/club/beginners-and-masters
#shamelessplug but not really... Anyways, do you have any similar resources? Trying to collect them.
Resources? Nope.
Can I join this club?
Of course.
I think, as has been stated, read Silman's How to Reassess Your Chess 4th edition. It really boosted my positional understanding from pretty low to pretty decent. Also boosted my rating about 300 points (like 100 of which I've lost sadly) from a fairly light reading, I'm not even done with it yet. In other words, read it.
Check oþþut the book “Simple chess” pdf is available.
I just started to read it and create lichess study of every chapter to remember it… got like 15 games in from there each one is gold. it’s about strategy and outposts and stuff I really like it… the way this book explains outposts is just beautiful. It explains how attacks (and tactics) don’t come out of nowhere but from strategically superior positions and how to improve middle game pawn structure understanding and outpost creating/identifying skill
Good. Tell me, please. Who is author of this book with attractive title "Simple Chess".
By the way how can Chess be simple? )
Its a super fun book, I'm sure there are many others of this type...
I enjoy the writing style of this guy Michael Stean.
The games are all of old masters. It's nice to connect to the pre-engine era, also analyzing it today, admiring how they actually found top engine moves OTB... I don't know if I've really improved from reading it just yet, still need to put more work in to it, but still it's fun to now be able to identify better potentially weak or strong squares like how the youtube dudes always say; "...of course he could not allow that because after takes takes and takes then the d4 square becomes a potential outpost"... I used to be like "huh?!?!?! potennnntial? like how far ahead are you seeing ffs"... now I start seeing this stuff...
