Small Steps 2 Success is a chess book from Quality Chess by Super-GM Sam Shankland, focused on one of the most important and often overlooked parts of chess strategy: pawn play.
In his second book on pawn play, Shankland examines passed pawns in detail, including connected passed pawns, lone passed pawns, and protected passed pawns. These positions are common in middlegames and endgames, where understanding how to play with or against them can decide the result.
As in his previous book, the ideas are presented through a series of clear guidelines designed to make the concepts practical and easy to study. Shankland is a world-class Grandmaster, a mainstay of the US national team, the 2018 US Championship winner, and a double Olympiad gold medalist with a 2700+ rating.
