See the threat. Test the reply. Choose your move.
You know how the pieces move. You can recognize a familiar tactic. Yet at the board, choosing a plan, calculating a reply, or judging an exchange can still feel uncertain.
CHESS FOR INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS connects tactical awareness with positional understanding through a practical decision-making routine. Learn to inspect what changed, compare useful candidate moves, challenge your ideas with the opponent's replies, and evaluate the position that remains.

Inside, you will work on:

  • Threat recognition and candidate selection, with a final check before committing to a move.
  • Purposeful calculation, visualization, and tactical relationships such as forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks.
  • Pawn structures, piece activity, and plans that respond to the opponent's counterplay.
  • Opening transitions, king-and-pawn and rook endgames, defensive resources, and time management.
  • Illustrated worked positions, independent exercises, explained solutions, a glossary, and a flexible eight-week study plan.
Write down your move and reasoning before reading the answer. Then use the explanation to identify the earliest mistake: recognition, legality, calculation, or evaluation. The mixed test brings these skills together without turning an exercise score into a rating prediction.
