Step 6


         

 

There are not so many chess trainers for the higher steps and for sure not for step 6. That is the main reason that the target group of this book has been altered. It is not a manual for the chess trainer any more but a self study book for everyone

The difficulty level of the material goes up again. The solutions to the exercises are consequently one move deeper. A lot of attention is paid to strategy. This occurs to be and still remains a tough subject for everybody, especially the positions in the workbook. The endgame comes also back in some chapters. Studying it, is a good way to gain a higher playing strength. Tactics is treated in just one chapter.
