Developed by international grandmaster and former world champion Susan Polgar, the "Learn Chess the Right Way" series is a five-volume chess puzzle book aimed at novice, beginner, and intermediate-level players. This unique instructional approach introduces the most important checkmate and material-winning tactics, as well as defensive techniques, to new chess players. Each volume contains over 500 puzzles, making it a comprehensive resource for improving one's game.
Book 5 in the series focuses on teaching players how to find the right continuation in critical game positions. The first part of the book covers "quiet" but powerful moves, including those that result in "Zugzwang" – a situation where a player is forced to make a move that weakens their position. Building on the knowledge gained throughout the entire series, the second part of this volume, the "Grand Test," allows readers to practice familiar patterns in real-game-like scenarios, emphasizing how to gain a significant material advantage or achieve checkmate.
With over 40 years of experience as a world-class player and coach, Susan Polgar has developed the most effective way to help young and beginner players improve their chess skills. She has been a winner of four Women's World Championships and was the top-ranked woman chess player in the United States, reaching the #1 spot in the world at the age of 15. Polgar remained in the top 3 for over 20 years, cementing her status as a chess legend.
In recognition of her coaching prowess, Polgar was awarded the U.S. Coach of the Year Award in 2013 and was named the Chess Trainer of the Year by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) the following year – the first person in history to receive both honors. Under her guidance, the SPICE chess teams at both Texas Tech University and Webster University have won a combined seven consecutive National Division I Collegiate Chess Championships, further demonstrating her ability to nurture and develop exceptional chess talent.
By following the "Learn Chess the Right Way" series, readers can benefit from Polgar's wealth of experience and proven methods, allowing them to master the most common and critical chess patterns and become better players. Whether you're a novice looking to start your chess journey or an intermediate player seeking to take your game to the next level, this comprehensive series is your guide to unlocking your full potential on the chessboard.
