Admit it... You have just seen or heard about the TV series "The Queen's Gambit" and you are looking for a manual that will teach you how to play like a Grandmaster! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE... The fascinating and mystical game of chess is making a strong comeback in Italy and beyond. Millions of players around the world are about to immerse themselves in the world of chess after watching the Netflix TV series "The Queen's Gambit." Some, however, have simply rediscovered an old passion and want to pick up the chessboard left in the basement. But there is one key factor I want you to think about in this "chess game race" ... Think about it for a moment ... Why is it that only 5 percent of people can really understand all the secrets, various techniques and strategies of chess? The answer is very simple: because 95% of people are used to approaching the game in a superficial way, are unwilling to spend time learning the essence of the game, and believe -- no matter what -- that it is too complicated to understand and apply new openings and strategies while staying in their comfort zone. Don't get used to being part of that 95 percent.... If you really want to go all the way in this new world, distinguishing yourself from others, I have prepared a Handbook that teaches you step-by-step, from A to Z, all phases of the game (openings, mid-game and endgame). And not only that. In this Handbook you will be able to discover: - All the basic information you need to arrange your army on the board right away, such as the rules of the game, detailed explanation of the movements of each piece, how many points they are worth, etc. - The best opening strategies, not just the most popular ones, with high-definition images that visually help you on the movements to make on the chessboard. - 10 chessboard control strategies to lead the middle game on your side and dominate your opponent. - 10 secret strategies to manage the endgame and "checkmate" your opponent. - Practical tips for going from "beginner level" to "Grandmaster level." - How to understand and interpret your opponent's early signs of trouble and move to the attack phase. You see, many people say that "anyone can play chess": this is absolutely true; it is not a difficult game. However, if you don't want to be that "anyone" and have the ambition to be part of that 5 percent I mentioned instead, you must rely on those who have been passionately teaching this discipline for several years now!
