Improve Your Chess Now

This Improve Your Chess Now is an English-language paperback chess book for ambitious players who want to improve their practical play and think more clearly at the board. It focuses on the skills that drive real progress, not just memorising lines.

What the book covers

Written by American grandmaster Andrew Soltis, this book takes a broad look at the parts of chess study that matter most in everyday play. It covers calculation and visualisation, pattern recognition, the psychology of chess, defence and blindfold training. That combination of technique and thought process gives the book a clear practical focus.

The style is lively and direct, which makes it an engaging read for adult players who want to understand not only what to play, but why certain decisions are made over the board.

Why this book stands out

This is a practical chess improvement title for readers who want more than opening lines and isolated examples. It is designed for adult players working on their own game and on the quality of their thinking during play.
