You've just read a chess beginners' manual and learned the rules of the
game, some simple tactics, maybe a few opening moves. What's next for
the ambitious player? Everyone's Second Chess Book, of course! Acclaimed
chess teacher Dan Heisman equips the not-quite-novice with the practical
tools and knowledge needed to get started in competitive play: how to
develop board vision; what to do when you're way ahead in material; how
to avoid common mistakes in thinking; when to "believe" your opponent;
even how to act properly at the chessboard. The author uses examples
from inexperienced players to provide a wealth of common-sense advice,
topping it off with a collection of illustrative games and practice
puzzles. In this new and enhanced edition of a classic work, National
Master Heisman adds chapters identifying the most important areas for
the novice to focus on to advance to intermediate level; then exploring
the dangers of stopping too soon when analyzing a position; and
highlighting the value of making chess study fun so that the student
will feel motivated to do the work. Read Everyone's Second Chess Book
and start climbing up the ladder of chess success!
