The Polgar Way to Better Chess
Learn Chess the Right Way is a five-book puzzle series by world champion and top coach Susan Polgar, designed for beginners and intermediate players. Each book contains 500 puzzles focused on key tactics like checkmates, winning material, and basic defense.
Book 1 teaches one-move checkmates. Early chapters focus on checkmates by each piece (queen, rook, etc.), followed by tactical themes like pins and discovered attacks. Later chapters mix puzzle types and introduce simple two-move checkmates.
With 40+ years of experience, Susan Polgar offers a clear, proven path to stronger chess through pattern recognition and practice.
