Book Synopsis



Are you a beginner in the game of chess and looking for a simplified guide to help you master the chessboard to win like a PRO and become a chess grandmaster? If this is you, then read on...


Chess is a beautiful game that allows you to exercise more of your mental power than any other game in the world. It sharpens your visual imagery and makes you think faster than you can imagine. You even get to own your own colony of warriors and leaders, where you stand as the chief. All of these are done on a board, so, yes, chess is a board game. And on this chequered board are several pieces-the warriors-whose modus operandi are entirely unique and intriguing.


Surely, you have heard of a bishop, and the first thing that comes to mind about it is a man that attends to the spiritual things of God. But then, in the chess game, the bishop is dynamic, and ready to fight, standing as one of the most cherished pieces in the game. There are also knights, pawns, rooks, queen, and king. Some people have called the chess game a labyrinth, and in some way, it really is. It stirs up a feeling of you being lost in some maze and then, finding some means of escape.


However, before you can control a colony in chess, master the chessboard and win like a PRO, you have to understand how the chess pieces operate. You have to know what they stand for, how they move, how they wouldn't move, their value, what you should do, and shouldn't. Honestly, there are a lot of things to know to become a grandmaster in chess, and that is why this book-How to Play Chess for Beginners-was written, to set the foundation and to help you master the game with time.


Below are snippets of what you stand to learn;


  • Terminologies used in the game of chess.
  • Name of all the chess pieces, how to recognize them and their functions on the chessboard
  • How to setup the chessboard effectively.
  • How to strategically move your chess pieces for the best possible outcome and the 3 special chess moves that can make the difference
  • An understanding of how check and checkmate works
  • An understanding of the opening, middle, and end game in chess and the strategies you can apply to win and become a grandmaster.
  • You'd learn the mystic way of reading your opponent's moves to your advantage and;
  • You'd also get to know all the mistakes you should avoid as you play the game.


A whole lot more is wrapped inside this book. And whether you are a beginner or a grandmaster of chess, there's something big in here for you to learn.
