Description
Chess educator Levy Rozman builds a practical route from learning the rules to playing complete games with a plan. Clear board diagrams introduce how the pieces move, how games end, and why controlling space, developing forces, and protecting the king matter. From there, the book turns to common tactical patterns, opening principles, middlegame decisions, and essential endgame techniques. Rather than asking readers to memorize endless variations, Rozman teaches them to examine threats, compare candidate moves, recognize recurring positions, and understand why tempting choices fail. The result is a visual, conversational guide for beginners and improving players who want a repeatable thinking process as well as a broader vocabulary for analyzing their own games.
