Play through the lines in the book, or try your own, it's like having a chess board and a chess book in the palm of your hand.įorward Chess includes the ability to purchase over 100 chess eBooks through our In-App Store. No one chess book can teach you everything you want to know about chess, but this book is an excellent place to start.the way I see it anyway.Forward Chess is an Interactive reader of chess books. It is laid out in an ideal format considering the short attention span of the mass mind these days. It is also separated into three categories (Basic, Advanced, Mastery) so as you go through the lessons you are gently guided upwards in chess knowledge. It is arranged in single two page lessons (one page prose, the other page a position on the chess board with variations backing up the lesson on page one. I think it has been re-released as 'Improve your Chess' So trying my best to put my ego aside (if that's possible) I would recommend 'Better Chess' by William Hartston. It should also properly address its intended audience (beginner, intermediate, advanced etc.) The problem with asking about chess books is there is just so much bad advice out there, often complicated by the fact that most people who reply offer a long list of chess books that do more to confuse rather than aid the person asking the question.Ī good chess book should educate and entertain as well as being laid out in a asthetically pleasing manner. I think that reading books after a certain rating is actually necessary to keep improving, is an investment that will take more time to show reasults, but slowly but surely will really improve the quality of the chess games of any player. I can edit a position from the book and look all the lines, put my own ideias in the comments and the good stuff can be saved for review. I also have problems with the positions of the books and keep the visualization of the lines with the commentaries from the author, but one thing that really helped me is lichess studies. Another book that comes to my mind is the very famous "100 endgames you must know" from Jesús de la Villa, and that is available on, if you like the Move Trainer format. I am currently reading it and after I pretend to follow up with "Silman's Complete Endgame Course: from beginner to master" from Jeremy Silman. One book that can be found in internet is Winning Chess Endings from Yasser Seirawan. In my opinion, a book that covers endgames would be better to buy and have with you, since good content about tatics and even openings you can find very easily on the internet.
