About this item

Do you sometimes feel stuck during your games, unsure of what move to play next? Do you find yourself making average moves that don’t contribute to a clear plan—or worse, that go against your strategic intent? 11 Game Plans explained in detail: Understand strategic intents for chess. Pick your intent for the game. Play moves in line with your strategic choice. Adjust your approach. Master the “tempo”. Win. Is memorizing openings and solving tactical puzzles the only way to improve? This book offers a different approach: understanding the overall vision and the intention behind the moves you play—a far more effective method for long-term progress. This book is not a collection of grandmaster games or a list of three-move checkmate puzzles. Instead, it focuses on delivering high-value explanations for practical players. Its goal is to help you find the right moves during your games, guided by a strategic intent you’ll learn to define clearly. By the end, you’ll understand which moves make sense in a given position—and why. What FIDE Master Serhii Herasymchuk says in the foreword: “The reader will begin to see chess not as a mere sequence of moves, but as an exciting battle of strategic plans.” This book was designed for all players, with clear and accessible explanations. It is especially useful for those who have mastered the basics (1400+ Elo) and want to improve, as well as for club-level players (1800+ Elo) seeking to step back from raw tactics and improve their match preparation. A perfect gift for any player who wants practical help to progress in chess—and enjoy the process.
