A staged guide to chess fundamentals and improvement

Levy Rozman organizes this instructional guide in two levels: the first introduces players rated 0–800 Elo to openings, endings, tactics, and strategy; the second builds on those foundations for players rated 800–1300. More than 500 board illustrations support the explanations, while chapter-specific QR codes link to bonus material on Rozman’s Chessly platform. The structure makes the book’s scope clear, moving from core concepts toward more advanced practice without treating chess as a single set of opening moves. Its attention to both the board’s visual patterns and the four major areas of play gives learners several ways to work through the game.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Chess beginners seeking an organized introduction to the game’s main areas.
  • Players rated 800–1300 Elo who want to build on foundational chess skills.
  • Learners who find board illustrations and linked bonus material useful.
