Rapid Chess Improvement by Michael De La Maza
This is the ideal book for serious adult players who want to improve. It describes a study plan that came about thanks to a re-evaluation of standard chess teaching and includes several unique components aimed at improving deficiencies in the play of adult players.This book is the only one of its kind for the simple reason that it has been written by an author who hugely improved his own rating over a twelve month period by following his own advice. He therefore fully understands the challenges faced by enthusiastic players who are relatively new to the game. This is in sharp contrast to most books aimed at this level which are usually written by very strong players who have long forgotten what it feels like to be starting out in the game. (6 1/4 x 9 1/4, 128 pages, diagrams)Michael de la Maza is a chess writer whose work has featured in Chess Horizons, the top local magazine in the United States, and Chess Caf (www.chesscafe.com), the most popular on-line chess book review site. In a year, he achieved 400 USCF rating points (50 BCF points) by following his own advise. He currently resides in the United States.
