150.000+ Downloads since published. Thank you for all the downloads. Thank you all for the nice feedback and your personal opinions. Greatly appreciated :) This chess book is intended mainly for starters. It will provide accessible and easy to understand information on how to improve your game efficiently in the shortest amount of time. This is what the author says: "Ever since I have played chess, I have been looking for an extensive set of tips to quickly boost my skills and give me access to a more intuitive understanding of the game, but I couldn't find anything that matched my requirements. Therefore, I have decided to create this book with a collection of my favorite strategy patterns. These patterns will be most helpful for players who are just starting to play chess and would like to advance quickly without the need of reading complete chess books or game analysis, which is usually time consuming, quite exhausting and often more efficient for advanced players and professionals. Within this book you will find diagrams associated with bullet point lists. Each page contains one diagram at most. All diagrams are made available in a large size with highlighted squares of interest for best visual interpretation. Chapters will open with a short introduction and a quick overview on what is ahead. I have decided for this structure and layout to assure a very visual presentation with focus on clear facts. You will not find elaborate essays, but rather precise suggestions on what you may try to develop your game to a new level in just a short amount of time."
