hi guys, i think about writing a book and wanted to know what your opinion on that topic is.

I am rated around 2000 and havent really time to train. I am tired after work and cannot find motivation. Everybody tells me that i am very underrated...

 

know i have an idea about writing a book.

dont worry, it won't be about openings. it will be about tactics (dont want to tell more details yet).

 

I want to target 1200-2000 rated players.

 

where to publish or publish it myself?

the book shouldnt only contain moves, bit also not too much text. would be very greatful, if experienced authors would give me advice.

I have my own blog (which is starting now)

I want to make it very serious in next months. here the link: www.improveinchess.wordpress.com

i'd be very happy if you give me feedback and advice for my blog happy.png

Only advice I have (after a quick glance at your link) is if your going to write in English you might need an editor..

Haha cottensock,  honestly I'd rather read a book about cats.. I found a spelling mistake on the very first topic. Or the wrong word was used like had instead of have or something let me have a look I'll copy and paste it here for you..

I read a good book called something like 'how to know if your cats is planning to kill you' I can find out the real name if your interested...

 

Okay improveinchess1 let's start with this sentance in your introduction paragraph...

You won’t win fast often, but with improving little by little you will win they games without too much risks.

Your sentance construction hurts my brain a little bit but I'll do my best.

You won't win fast often, but with improvement little by little you will win those games without too many risks. Or finish the sentance with.. Without too much risk.

I'm trying to remember the rules on commas I looked at this sentance and thought it needed 2 commas but I'm pretty sure my English teacher wouldn't like that. She failed me 2 years in a row. When I moved school my new English teacher passed me with a B+

When I sat the stat test for uni I scored 97/100 but I've been lazy since then. I'm pretty sure if you use the word but or and no comma is required. I'm going to have one more shot at this sentance.
