  • An extremely important chess book for anyone to easily build their chess skills.

    This book was developed by Laszlo Polgar to train his 3 brilliant chess daughters, Sophia (who went on to become an IM and WGM, Susan (GM and WIM who went on to become Women's World Champion, U.S. Women's Champion, for some time top ranked Female in the World), and Judit Polgar (Youngest at age 12 to top 100 FIDE, GM at 15, top 10 in FIDE for men/women for many years), with numerous accolades for supporting chess/women's chess. If you study the numerous Mate in 1 problems, then Mate in 2 becomes easy because you know the 2nd move instantly. If you study the numerous Mate in 2 problems then Mate in 3 becomes easy because you know the last 2 moves instantly. Then study the Mate in 3 ... phenomenal chess reference.
