Best Lessons of a Chess Coach

An innovative book on game-winning strategy for players at the intermediate level--from a master chess coach. Every truth about chess must be coached in context, and the book's interactive teacher-student dialogue does just that. Weeramantry teaches how to think during a chess game. 300 diagrams.

It would ideally be read after reading a more basic book on chess such as "Logical Chess Move by Move" by Irving Chernev, or "Play Winning Chess" or "Winning Chess Strategies" by Yasser Seirawan.

By reading one or two of these other books first, it would assure the maximum learning value by reinforcing and then expanding on what is taught in these other, more elementary texts.
