Tips

Some chess tips for the improving player give practical advice for club players who want to take the next step towards chess mastery. Some trainers look at life from an unusual angle. Their approach is sometimes far more creative than merely offering the usual tips such as “develop your pieces” and “control the centre”. Instead of repeating clichés seen before in countless books, the outstanding trainers should scrutinize a huge number of chess positions, asking themselves, ‘What can be learned from them?’. The student can benefit something from these.
