Five Steps to Victory (Chess is Fun Book 4)

The e-book examines in detail an idea fundamental to positional chess, the five steps that will bring you victory in many chess games. First identify the weaknesses in your opponent's pawn structure. Second, make sure that the weak pawns cannot advance. Third attack the weakness so that four, your opponent will have to defend it. Finally, step five, then and only then attack the weakness with a pawn. This e-book examines these five steps using instructive examples from master games.

Unlike many other inexpensive chess e-books, these are fully annotated in understandable, simple language. The profuse use of diagrams make these among the first chess books that you can read WITHOUT A BOARD at your side.
