We all know those 'lucky' players who just seem to be naturally gifted at chess. They always recognize the best squares for their pieces, they instinctively know whether to seize the initiative or to play quietly, and they are ruthless in exploiting opponents' weaknesses while minimizing the effect of their own. What's more, they are always well prepared and possess bundles of energy. In short, they make chess look easy.

- How do they do it?
- Do they know something the rest of us don't?
- Yes, they do - they know the rules of winning chess.
- These are the fundamentals - easy-to-learn guidelines which will help you to achieve greater understanding in your chess and enable you to approach every game with confidence.

The Rules of Winning Chess will show you the way.

- Covers opening, middlegame and endgame play
- Deals with key preparation techniques, on and off the board
- Written by a renowned coaching Guru Nigel Davies.
