How can you improve at chess?

This is the eternal question asked by players of all levels. Which part of the game should you focus on? How often should you play?
Should you change your opening repertoire?
What’s the best way to learn from your defeats?
So many questions ... and yet direct answers are hard to find. It’s no wonder aspiring players are left bewildered and in need of direction.

In this book grandmaster Nigel Davies provides that direction. He examines the methods used by a number of players who were looking to improve their game, and how they went about achieving their goal. He has drawn heavily on the games and thoughts of players who have been his students over the years and experienced a clear improvement in their play.

Finding the path towards improvement can prove difficult without the right guidance. This book will demonstrate the route to take.
