Chess Training for Beginners: Winning Moves

The Learn Chess the Right Way book series, developed by award-winning coach and former world champion Susan Polgar, is a five-volume chess puzzle collection aimed at novice, beginner, and intermediate-level players. This series introduces the most important checkmate and material-winning tactics, as well as defensive techniques, to the new chess player.

Each of the five volumes contains over 500 puzzles, with Book 5 focusing on learning how to find the right continuation in critical positions of a chess game. In the first four books, readers were introduced to the most important, basic elements of chess tactics to win material or to checkmate.

The first part of Book 5 includes learning about special, more advanced themes such as "Zugzwang," "Intermediate Moves," and "Pawn Power." Building on the knowledge acquired throughout the series, the second part of this volume allows readers to practice on familiar patterns, without any hints as to which patterns to look for. The goal is simple: find a way to either checkmate or gain material. In most of the puzzles, readers will need to think 2-4 pairs of moves ahead to find the correct solution.

With over 40 years of experience as a world-class player and coach, international grandmaster Susan Polgar has developed the most effective way to help young players and beginners learn chess. "Learn Chess the Right Way" is designed to guide readers through the most common and critical patterns, ultimately helping them become better players.

The series' unique methods, developed by the award-winning coach, aim to provide a comprehensive and effective approach to chess education for the novice, beginner, and intermediate-level player. By mastering the tactics and patterns presented in these volumes, readers can expect to see a significant improvement in their chess skills and understanding of the game.
