What do you need to know?[edit]
You need to understand the rules of chess. This book is for intermediate players, so we'll talk about openings, tactics, and strategy.
You also need to understand the chess notation, such as 4. Nc3!?.
If you know rules and notation, then you can read this book!
Chess960[edit]
Here's an interesting question: What's the most unbalanced 960 position? We'll talk about Chess960 later.
Chess960 is a very popular variant of classical chess. It will shuffle rank 1 and rank 8 in the starting positions. We will analyze most such positions.
Example Games[edit]
You can take a look at the "Example Games" chapter anytime. It is somewhat analysis for games. (Some of them, more actually, almost all of them are my own games!)
