Paperback - Small Steps To Giant Improvement is a chess book from Quality Chess focused on pawn play and chess strategy.
In chess, you cannot take your move back, and pawns can never move backwards, making pawn moves permanent decisions. Sam Shankland breaks down pawn play into basic, easy-to-understand guidelines every chess player should know.
The book starts with simple examples and then shows how the same principles apply at a higher level, including cases where grandmasters could have made better decisions by following them. Sam Shankland is a Grandmaster, a permanent member of the US national team, won an Individual Gold Medal in 2014 and Team Gold in 2016, played Board 1 for the US team at the World Team Championship in 2015 and 2017, and became US Champion in April 2018.
