Forward Chess

The book has now been published on Forward Chess. I haven't bought it yet.

For the moment I am off to France for a month, combining vacance and chess. March, April and May have been/will be months were I am off, so the blog won't be updated until later. But by then there will be something to tell, I am sure!

I don't know the origins of the picture, but anyhow - it really manages to capture the essence of visiting France!

PUMP UP YOUR RATING
Any man in the street knows how to increase his physical strength, but among most chess players confusion reigns when it comes to improving their playing strength. Axel Smith's training methods have guided his friends, teammates and pupils to grandmaster norms and titles. Hard work will be required, but Axel Smith knows how you can Pump Up Your Rating.

Every area of chess is covered - opening preparation, through middlegame play, to endgame technique. Smith delves into both the technical and psychological sides of chess, and shows how best to practise and improve.

International Master Axel Smith from Sweden has had great success as a coach. Using his methods on himself, in the space of two years he boosted his rating from 2093 to 2458. He is now closing in on the Grandmaster title
