This Chess Lessons by Vladimir Popov is an English-language hardcover chess training book that turns coaching experience into practical advice for players who want to understand positions more deeply and make better decisions at the board. Built around the author’s work with his students, it focuses on training positions and game fragments that help ambitious players improve their strategic thinking and work on weak spots in their play.
What this book covers
This is not a beginner’s primer. Chess Lessons draws on Vladimir Popov’s coaching methods to show how improvement work is structured, what mistakes ambitious players tend to make, and how those problems can be tackled in practice. It is especially relevant for club players who want to move beyond calculation alone and develop a clearer understanding of the position.
Reviewers have noted that the book is particularly suitable for players around 1600–2000, while stronger players may also find it useful as a way to sharpen and organise their training.
