Chess Strategy for Club Players Herman Grooten
Publisher: New In Chess

The books I got today are Herman Grooten's Chess Strategy for Club Players from New in Chess, and Colin Crouch's Chess Secrets: Great Attackers from Everyman Chess. Students from any grade are welcomed into the Chess Club, since a player's skill level, not age, is what counts. Lessons with a Grandmaster: Enhance Your Chess Strategy and Psychology with Boris Gulko (Everyman Chess) By Everyman Chess.

Club players are unaware of the subtleties that exist in grandmaster chess. The blog that used to be here is now at http://elajedrez.org/2011/01/chess-strategy-for-club-players-2009.html. Hope to see you all at future events here at the Boylston Chess Club! Usually involve either strategic tomes (How to reassess your chess/chess strategy for club players) - and that's about it to be honest - that and Chess Tactics Server, where I never break 1400 but the percentage of what I get right usually goes up. It's not that Grooten presents ideas that aren't already known, but he presents them in a manner that is clear and which the reader can readily absorb. And to all the other BCC players who made the effort to play in this most competitive 6 round long-chess event and 10 round blitz tourney. I'm also contemplating buying a positional primer but I'll probably go for "Chess Strategy for Club Players" by Herman Grooten. Naroditsky will probably become a far stronger player but IM Grooten is an experienced coach. Chess Strategy for Club Players is an outstanding positional primer.
