Why not just to have a simple puzzle book where you are supposed to find best move in each position? Every single position is picked carefully and this method will help you develop different strategic concepts and patterns. There are no chapters or indicative names or comments to help you find solution more easily. Just positions. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - Leonardo da Vinci. All these positions are new! What does that mean? We didn’t recycle old, fa mous games that everyone knows. We didn’t use material and positions from other books and courses. All positions are unique. Also, the 99% of the positions are from modern games played in the last couple of years. This book will teach you how to be flexible and practical chess player. No matter what type of position or pawn structure you have on the board, you must be able to find the best move and the best plan. The more concepts and patterns you know, the stronger player you become. How to study this book? You should simply try to solve puzzles one by one. That’s all. After you find the move and decide what would you do in a certain position, you should go to the back pages and compare your solution with the solution in the book. We made sure that the solutions and the moves we put are precise and easy to understand. Also, we put a lot of diagrams to help you visualize better. Our personal advice is to put every position on the board and try to solve it in the old-fashioned way. But, it is totally fine to solve the positions directly from the book if you are not at home or you simply don’t have chess board with you. The way we created everything allows you to do it in the both ways. So, let’s study chess strategy in the more dynamic and fun way! GM Miloje Ratković IM Milovan Ratković
