Chess Handbook

"Chess Handbook" is designed for those who wish to improve their game (from beginners to first-class players) and chess coaches. It represents a systematic course in chess (except for openings), including general information about chess play and chess sports, various types of advantages in a chess game, combinations, attacks on the king, endgame techniques, and the basics of strategy. A coach, having this book, can work with students "in standalone mode," additionally referencing opening guides and tournament collections. The educational material primarily relies on games - masterpieces of world chess. The book also contains many examples from children's tournaments with typical mistakes, which is important for lower-rated chess players. Numerous exercises (tasks for independent solution) are provided in the main sections of the handbook. Answers are given at the end of the book. It is intended for children of middle school age and can be used by a wide range of chess enthusiasts and qualified chess players regardless of age.
