The Secret of Chess

My newest chess playing guide currently has a free promotion:

https://www.amazon.com/Chess-Express-Lyudmil-Tsvetkov-ebook/dp/B08T824KMZ/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=chess+express&qid=1615657481&s=digital-text&sr=1-10

Use this opportunity to download and read it.

Apart from the chess rules, there is plenty on chess openings, chess strategy and chess tactics.

The guide is for complete beginners, but some parts could be used also by more experienced gamers.

I would be very happy if someone could contribute meaningful feedback on Amazon, 

would be interesting to know what people think.

Thank you Lyudmil for the Link! Have a nice day!

Hey, Schachgrenze!

I would appreciare any meaningful feedback, lol.

By the way, did you see some of my latest titles?

You have attitude that you dont care getting advice from random people. Fine.

Treat your health with a quack rather than a doctor.

Get advice from random people rather than lawyers.

All professionals have their own credentials and people with credentials have much higher chances of quality service than unregistered amateurs.

The main point is why buy $50 book from amateur when you can get the same from professionals.

Just as an aside, i am a big fan of Mr Tsvetkov's "Neverending Tactics" book, that is a great collection of tactical puzzles, currently halfway through it.  The commentary is very amusing and the puzzles are great for my level.

if you ever do a follow-up to that i'd buy it.

Dear Lyudmil, i know this is a tad late but i have purchased ur book back around 2020 and i do believe it has educational value. 
im in love with pecular aproaches to knowledge. in chess and in general so what im gonna do is:
1) using ai learning tools to crunch and summerize these lessons. 
2) using prompt to visualize all the amazing patterns you uncovered. 
i would love to have your blesing and feedback prior to releasing this project (probably on youtube). my contact is MUZITATION@gmail.com 
P.S: time has passed and i would be so curious as to which of these patterns hold water in face of new engine scrutiny. if you were to publish a remastered version of this book, plus perhaps some new brilliant revelations, i will be the first to purchase and support. 
All the Best! your groupy, Yuvi.

The Secret of Chess has continuation now, The Secret of Chess in Action, explaining thoroughly chess principles based on current Stockfish games.

Check on Amazon or the internet.

No post since 5 years.

Once upon a time, in the good old times, 5 years ago, this was the most discussed thread at all.

Pity how chess has changed for the bad, much worse, in the last couple of years.

Real catastrophe.

Currently most threads have one or two posts.

Not very helpful and deep.

Anyone preferring tariffs to chess?

Where has everybody gone?

The virus taken all of your miserable lives?

Just asking.

Hi Lyudmil, nice to read you again here. Still a big fan of "The fine art of chess" that enriched my understanding.

All the best, Eric (aka Tibono aka Kiwimotard)

Wow Lyudmil, you're still here. I thought chess.com users quit in less than 4 years.

Hello, blonder than blond woman.

Very sorry I just opened this thread after so many years.

Of course, you have my blessing!

Do whatever pleases you.

I doubt I could be very helpful in terms of feedback, freedom of choice is paramount.

As mentioned, it proves Stockfish 15 and later versions till 17 agree with almost all formulated new rules. Once I hoped 90 percent would hold water, and latest Stockfish versions prove exactly that.

Please, read the new installment of my Secret of Chess in Action book, to be found on Amazon or the internet.

I was myself astounded at how Stockfish confirms the rules.

And it has reached 4000 elos, very well rounded already in deeper strategy too.

What is muzitation, musical meditation?

I am also unsure what hides behind Yuvi, Yuval Noah Harari?

Cheers, Lyudmil

Hi Tibono!

Frederick, I guess.

Aka Kiwimotard.

Motard like hazard, tard, canard etc.

Tres interessant soubriquet, pas de doute.

Well, I am happy someone reads my efforts.

It's real pity you didn't like more of my books, so you post more (good, raving) reviews, lol.

Thanks a lot.

Bonne chance, Lyudmil

Who the hell are you?

Chess or tariffs?

Don't miss reading The Secret of Chess in Action.

I also published a couple more books with latest Stockfish assessments recently, Optimal Play in Chess, that teaches you how to play perfect chess, based on how Stockfish proceeds, The Wildest Attacker in Chess, sampling tremendous Stockfish offensive games, Perfect Chess Openings, with Stockfish position assessments, what openings and variations are good and bad etc.

You won't find better chess council than Stockfish.

Would somebody post here, please, so I could make more comments.

I guess the 5 consecutive posts limit rule is still in place.

OK

Probably no limit on edits, so you could keep adding more to the last post (perhaps with separation lines)

Nice idea, only I hate editing.

But tricking the rotten system is worthwhile.
