Introduction

Chess masters account for about less than five percent

of chess players world wide. The masses are left to guess

and wonder what chess masters know and do that others

don't. We are going to teach you what it is you need to

know to be a part of that elite group that is so set apart from

the rest of the chess world. We, furthermore, are going to

reveal to you all the secrets of being a chess master and

defeating master level players.

What you are reading is the first volume of a series

entitled:

Chess Master Secrets provided by Chessolutions.com . Our

staff, in collaboration with a qualified network of national

chess masters, has developed these volumes for use as a

supplement to your weekly tutorials online. It is our goal to

provide you, from A to Z, with the most comprehensive

chess course that money can buy.

There is no substitute for hard work and regular study,

though. The student of chess should always be willing to do

their fair share of studying to accelerate their growth as a

chess player. We give you all the tools you will need (both

online and with the manuals you will receive) but it is the

responsibility of the student to put these tools to work.

We encourage the advanced student to compete in

tournaments and regular match play. (Remember that much

more is gained from playing players of equal or better

strength). One of the most important aspects of learning is

putting new information into practice. Tournament play is

not only good for the student who wishes to improve their

competitive chess, it is also an effective learning tool for

the student who studies even for the simple joy of the game.

This volume focuses on some basic chess master

secrets which, at first, may not seem like secrets at all but

whose complete and thorough understanding is essential for

reaching the upper echelon of the chess world.

Understanding fundamentals simplifies the task of

improving chess performance.

You will discover that many of the themes presented in

these volumes are the very themes that are consistently

misunderstood by the majority of the chess world (even

though the average chess player can quote and make

reference to them as if they know completely what they’re

talking about).

Masters don’t necessarily play complicated chess they

play good chess. You will be surprised to see that we will

stress the importance of understanding certain themes that

most chess players may consider basic. It is the mastering

of these basics that forms the template of a master player.

We will concentrate first on the simpler notions and

gradually progress to the more complicated themes thereby

giving the student a solid foundation for building a

successful chess career.

Four Tips

We have divided this first volume into four main areas

of chess performance that the budding master should begin

with.

The first focuses on selecting reliable and aggressive

opening systems to play. Masters, typically, are well

prepared when entering a tournament or match game. We

give you the basics of selecting on opening to suit the

playing styles of both laid-back more aggressive players.

The second stresses the need for studying each phase

of the game equally. Masters consistently play well because

they have strengthened every facet of their game not just

certain phases. This is critical in understanding what

separates masters from average and even expert level chess

players. We examine the games of three different world

champions and their excellence in a particular phase of a

chess game. For studying the opening we recommend the

games and playing style of the legendary and mysterious

Bobby Fischer. For the middle game we recommend the

great demon of uncompromising chess Gary Kasparov. And

for studying the endgame we most certainly recommend a

thorough study of the games of Jose Raul Capablanca. This

section gives you a taste of what you will be able to do as a

master chess player.

The third focuses on knowing the most basic endgame

positions. It is surprising how many players, even up to the

expert level, don’t even know the most rudimentary
