To The Ambitious Chess Player Who's Almost But NOT Quite Satisfied With Their Game — And Can't Quite Figure Out What They're Doing Wrong. Three-time British and Scottish Chess Champion breaks down the biggest roadblocks to chess improvement and demystifies the "secrets" to consistently climbing the ranks.
You've seen them.
Passionate players who have spent thousands of hours (and counting) watching instructional videos... reading books... and preparing openings. Yet even with all that effort to boost their game, they can only scratch the surface of what they're truly capable of.
If this dilemma hits too close to home, then you'll love what Grandmaster Jonathan Rowson has cooked up for you.
A chess pro turned applied philosopher, Rowson won the British Chess Championship (2004, 2005, 2006), Scottish Chess Championship (1999, 2001, 2004), and a host of elite open tournaments. His peak rating of 2599 placed him at number 139 in the world rankings, putting him head and shoulders above your "average" grandmaster.
But before the sensational victories, Rowson too ran head first into major chess improvement roadblocks.
Misevaluating positions game after game? Check. Playing at the mercy of his mood? Yep. He even had a phase when he tried too hard to mimic his chess heroes — with comical results.
At the time, Rowson didn't have a hand to guide him. So he had to spend years of trial and error to pull himself out of the rut. BUT...
You don't have to.
Originally released as a print book in 2003, Rowson's Chess For Zebras combines his "in the trenches" experience as a player and coach, with the latest findings from applied philosophy and cognitive sciences to help you...
You'll discover
- The three chess myths players of all levels try to play by... with disastrous results. (Number three will drain your competitive energy and will to win if left unchecked.)
- Why the "common-sense" way of learning undermines your chess. PLUS — the kind of learning which leads to quantum leaps in playing strength and rating.
- What you study is critical to your chess, right? Sorry. But a British Rapidplay Champion shoots down this misconception and shows what you must do to truly improve... regardless of the book, course or DVD you're studying.
- What is "chess folk psychology"... how it blinds your objectivity... and what you must do to keep your "vision" of the game clear and true.
