What Chess Coaches Don't Tell You

What Chess Coaches Don’t Tell You by John and Victoria Doknjas, offers a totally new
perspective on improvement in chess. This book teaches chess players how to work harder
and smarter in order to achieve their goals, using every tool at their disposal. Most chess
books teach openings, endgames, tactics, but very few books teach players how to work on
chess by themselves. This is what makes this work so unique and innovative.

Over the years, many chess players have come to me for advice on how to improve, and I
never know what to tell them. From now on, I will recommend that they read this book! I
have been using most of the advice recommended in this book, both for myself and my
students, and the results have been wonderful. I can clearly feel that my work ethic has
improved, thanks to this book. Having worked with Victoria and John, I can safely say that
their method works extremely well, for players of any level. Spending time with these two
authors has taught me the importance of analyzing my own games, as well as playing
training games, and I believe that this advice applies to any chess player looking to improve.

Also, children and parents who enter the chess world are often disoriented because
there is so much information available. This book, however, offers valuable and detailed
advice to parents on how to guide their children towards their goals. Victoria, who has 3
master-level sons, is the best person to answer any questions related to parenting in chess!

Overall, this book guides chess players in their improvement, regardless of their level.
From beginner to grandmaster, every player can benefit from a steady, structured and detailed workplan.
