Chess school

This book is a complete manual of initiation that exposes in a clear and simple way the technical foundations of chess: from the rudiments of the game to the basic notions of competitive chess.

In the tactical field, he studies in detail the ability to play each piece, acting alone, in conjunction with another (tactical teams) or within a larger set (tactical figures and combinations, studied by theme).

Although competition chess tends to consider mate as a remote possibility, it does not cease to be the final goal of the game-king.

For this reason, abundant models of typical mattresses are included, which, given its usefulness, the reader should transfer from the retina to the hard disk of his brain. Numerous conceptual questions, exercises and pedagogical recommendations give the work a marked practical orientation.

In order to take the autodidact to the forefront of tournament chess, the last two chapters use both technical and psychological suggestions and alternative training plans to form a kind of shadow coach to guide the steps of budding chess players .

The book is also conceived for its possible use as an auxiliary tool by teachers and chess monitors, in order to support their classes. Antonio Gude is an expert chess researcher and disseminator. He has directed several technical publications, translated capital works of chess literature and is the author of the best-selling Spanish chess books.
