Reveal Your Chess Style

Every chess player has a naturally individual style of playing, based on the moves they like to play. Some people choose the kind of moves world champion Magnus Carlsen regularly uses, while others prefer a strategy favoured by the legendary Bobby Fischer. And some even find themselves emulating the way a chess computer works. But very few players are aware of how these moves fit together to create a consistent, personal chess style.

Reveal Your Chess Style begins with 200 diagrams, each with a multiple choice of possible moves for the reader to choose from. The second half of the book explains how the reader's choices reveal their hidden style, and which famous player they most identify with on the chessboard.

A host of advice is also included, on developing the player's style further to avoid regular errors, increase skill and win more games - or they may want to adopt traits from other styles instead! This truly original book, from an International Grandmaster and venerable chess author, is a must-have for anyone who wants to improve their game and really get to know themselves as a chess player.
