The Book That Will Change The Way You Study!

I know that I've posted the good graces and fresh ideas toward studying in the book "Studying Chess Made Easy" by Andrew Soltis, but I had to make the reason why clear. To do this I'm going to give a few headlines that are in the first chapter. I'm not going to explain them, I'll leave that up to you to pick up a copy and hopefully enjoy it as much as I do.

1. Learning chess should be fun.
2. It has to include hands-on learning.
3. It should be mainly independent.
4. It's often subliminal.
5. You have to be well motivated.
6. Too much information.
7. Below your consciousness.
8. Absorbing ideas.
10. Rugged individuals.
11. Fun factor.

I know it seems like a lot to cram into one chapter, but the ideas in this book have changed the way I study chess. I made the name of the book "clickable" so you can visit Amazon to pick one up. Please believe me when I say that it's worth every penny. half of the book you don't even need a board for, depending on your skill level and ability to look ahead x moves. But, there are plenty of diagrams (before and after the current line of play) to make it much easier to follow. This is actually a very fun chess book to read. And yes, I do really like Andrew Soltis as an author. Please, let me know how you feel after you've read this book or if you have already read it. I'm interested to know.
