Hunting for Checkmates (Chess Training Book 1)

Hunting for Checkmates (Chess Training Book 1)

Ron Benel
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
If you are a competitive chess player who is just getting started, this book will help you develop your ability to spot checkmating opportunities while in the heat of battle. There are over 400 unique high quality color diagrams providing clues and explanations for 138 checkmate problems. With the new formatting and the additional checkmate problems including a new Mate in Three section, it seems like a different and totally new book.

Working through this problem set will help the aspiring chess player develop pattern recognition skills while under pressure during competitive play. In over ten years as a chess coach I have found no better way to develop this skill than the methods used in this book.

Also included is a repeat of the checkmate problems in isolation from the answers. This section is designed for timed exercises where the students work to perfect their score, improve their time and practice writing down the moves. These are all essential skills for scholastic tournament play.

In the back of the book you will find a section called More Checkmates. In this section you will be offered an opportunity to join our e-mail list. This e-mail list will provide exclusive access to additional checkmate problems. Also as a member of the list you will receive advanced notice of upcoming books and discounts on those books.

I would like to point out that the book format is superior to chess playing software in one respect. The pages of a book are static, you can not move the chess pieces around. This will help discipline you to use your mind - not your hands. This is one more essential skill that must be mastered for successful scholastic tournament play.

Please note this book looks fantastic on a Kindle Fire and Kindle for PC. What you see here on the web site does not do it justice. I also tested the book on Kindle for Android - it looks good there also. You can try a sample of this book for free. See the section in the upper right portion of this page called “Try it free”. Also, if you buy the book and it is not to your liking, you can get Amazon to return 100% of your money within 7 days of your purchase.

The chess diagrams are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and to provide focus to the chess pieces and board markup. The color patterns of the chessboards mimic that of leather in order to make it easy on your eyes. On a Kindle Fire HDX you should be able to view the board positions for hours without eye fatigue.

With broadband, the download time is only a few seconds.

The book is best suited for USCF Class G - Class F players. There will be exceptions and they are all welcome. I personally think anyone who loves chess will enjoy working through this book.
