Author Information

About Richard Richard Durtstov, with many years of experience as a chess coach, acknowledged how difficult it was to look back and watch children lose the chance to catch a piece after an opportunity. I also see kids leave their pieces undefended. It is as if the kids are moving their pieces around the board with no goals or purpose. In a game like chess, the kid who can notice and capture undefended pieces will be king of the hill. admitted Richard Durtstov. Richard Durtstov is generally considered one of the top analysts, researchers, and chess teachers in Russia. For his definitive works on openings, Richard is known. The editor of more than 5 chess books, including the seminal review of many chess openings. To Richard, chess is an experience that stretches the imagination beyond a strategy board game. In other facets of life, chess builds mental capabilities that are valuable. Critical thought, attention, problem-solving, abstract logic, observation, strategic planning, understanding of patterns, and imagination are taught. As a National and Life Master, an International Arbiter, and a mentor for many of the top young players in Russia, including Russia's best Chess World Championship under-18 team, he has chaired world championship matches going back to 1983, was the arbiter of the Championship in 2000 and managed prestigious tournaments. All the leading journals and publications have featured his games. For the master, how much more so for the beginner and club player, Richard's young minds who celebrated observation are real. The best and most effective way to boost chess success by far and wide is to improve one's tactical abilities to see the usual mating patterns and material-winning tactical motifs that determine a game so much at a glance. There is no question that lessons that teach one to understand the tactical building blocks that make up any mixture are the perfect way to develop a strong tactical vision.
