The ONLY way to improve your chess play  is to OUT THINK your opponent. Look at his pieces where are they heading and try to block him. No matter what book you read it wont cause you to WIN bec EVERY opponent makes unexpected moves. Even coaching wont help much.  There  is strategic POSITIONING OF CHESS PIECES THAT MOVE IN CO ORDINATION . no ONE WILL REVEAL THESE  you have to discover thenm yourself.

I agree with most of what you say except about the coaching part. Strategic positioning of chess pieces comes from understanding and employing strategic themes. Some players are gifted while others might need a coaching or book reading to understand these themes. Smile

Beware of anything that claims to be "easy".  Improvement takes work.  Look at certain critical positions in master games, assess the position, evaluate (who stands better, by how much, and why) analyze (especially checks, captures, and threats), write your thoughts on each variation, then decide on your candidate move.  This is to train a thinking system.
