Lo que los entrenadores de ajedrez no te cuentan

This What Chess Coaches Don't Tell You is an English-language chess training book for players and parents who want a clearer, more effective approach to improvement, coaching and long-term development.

What the book covers

The central message is straightforward: lessons with a coach do not automatically lead to progress. Many players spend years following a general training routine that does not match their real needs. This book shows how to build a thoughtful, individual training plan based on a player’s strengths and weaknesses.

It also takes a broader look at chess study, from setting goals and analysing your own games to using chess software and engines in a sensible way. That makes it useful both for players working independently and for those who want to judge whether their current training is actually moving them forward.

What you will find inside

• how to identify the most important training goals and work on them step by step,
• how to analyse your own games objectively and draw practical conclusions,
• how to use chess programs and engines effectively for study,
• how to understand improvement more clearly, whether you train with a coach or independently.

This book can be especially helpful for parents of young chess players who want to support development actively, even without tournament experience of their own. It is also a strong fit for adults and juniors who feel that regular lessons are not leading to steady progress.
