Crash Course In Chess is a small chess booklet written for beginners and players with only an elementary knowledge of the game. It is designed to help readers enjoy chess faster while building a stronger understanding of how the game works.
Inside, it teaches the rules of chess and covers the basic concepts of openings and endgames. It also explains the disappointments players may face along the way, which are part of improving their chess skills and appreciating the combat element of the game.
The booklet is intended to help readers improve quickly up to the strength of an average club player (ELO rating 1700). It is also priced very low for students and is presented as a modest contribution to the “Royal Game” by both authors, who have been members of Hong Kong’s Olympic team for more than 10 years and weekly columnists in major publications.
