Best Chess Strategy - Now you can use a practical, step-by-step guide to play successful chess --- 100 Guaranteed..
If I couldn't find a comprehensive guide on chess strategies, then why not create my own?
I was tired of flipping back and forth through tons of books for the few bits of information that could help me; but I reasoned that if I put all those little tidbits of info together then I might actually be able to begin understanding the secrets to playing a great game of chess.
The next morning I furiously began to read through all of the chess books that I had purchased over the past few years and take down the pertinent notes. I didn't stop there either. I swallowed my pride and enlisted the help of a few experts who were accomplished in chess.
It took awhile to sort through all of the information I had gathered and compile the notes I received from the experts I consulted, but when I was finished I sat back and was completely stunned.
Right here in front of me was the information that I had been seeking all along!
From the notes I had taken from several articles on the subject of chess, as well as my own experiments, I had comprised a comprehensive compendium on chess strategy.
