Hard Work Alone Can Never Make You a Master

Hard work alone can never make you a master but you could become a master of hard work

Players who never reach a higher rating think it is impossible to become expert or master: but it can be done. If study the right material, YOU WILL BECOME A LOT STRONGER! If you are at 1200 and you want to be 1800 FIDE or USCF, through hard word and systematic study you will reach your goal, guarantee.

I am only suggesting these materials, these materials help me to reach 1800 USCF and later expert.

(1) Morphy's Games Of Chess by Philip W. Sergeant ( 300 games)

(2 ) Logical Chess Move By Move by Irving Chernev (Excellent Book)

(3) Amateur Verse Master by Max Euwe (One those book that explain move by move)

(4) The Road to Chess Mastery by Max Euwe

(5) 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifice and Combination by Fred Reinfeld ( The best book on tactics)

(6) Modern Chess Strategy by Pachman ( excellent book on strategy)

(7) Silman's Endgame Book ( Excellent book and well organize)

Pick one tactical player like Morphy and one positional player like Capablanca or Rubinstein games collection and go through them with their annotation.

I promise you , you will be a lot stronger player and reach at least 1800 FIDE or USCF without a trainer. When I was low rated (1162 USCF) my first goal was 1800 USCF and I reach much higher. We are not talking about being a Grandmaster, that takes talent.
