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
