Cómo convertirse en un campeón - Andrew Soltis

How to Become a Master by Andrew Soltis is a Polish-language chess book for players who want to move beyond simply avoiding losses and start building the skills needed for stronger play.

What the book covers

Soltis focuses on nine key attributes linked to chess mastery. Some are practical knowledge, some are habits, and some concern how you think about positions. Rather than offering generic advice, he tackles the questions ambitious players actually ask: which games to study, what to look for during analysis, and what to take away from master-game work.

The book keeps that practical emphasis throughout. Instead of repeating the familiar instruction to study master games, Soltis shows how to do it more effectively, with training methods and a more disciplined approach than many online sources or basic manuals provide.

Why it suits serious training

This is a useful read for players who take chess seriously and feel their progress has stalled. It underlines that improvement does not come only from avoiding mistakes, but also from developing better positional judgement, choosing plans more accurately, and working on your own game in a more structured way.

That makes it relevant both for ambitious club players and for self-taught students who want to organise their training and get more from analysing master games.
