What Chess Coaches Don't Tell You
By FIDE Master John Doknjas and Victoria Doknjas
Are you a parent of a junior chess player who feels that because you don’t know how to play chess, you can’t help your child? Or are you an adult or junior chess player who has taken private chess lessons for years, but feels you haven’t been progressing? This book offers a unique and informative insight to those wanting to get more out of their chess studies, as well as presenting practical advice in areas including identifying important goals and how to work towards them, understanding how to objectively analyse your games, and maximising the efficiency of software and engines for learning. Reading this book can broaden your horizons in the essential areas of chess study, and ideally let you better evaluate what your chess coach is teaching you. And if you don’t have a chess coach, this book will provide you with an excellent foundation for serious chess study.
