Improving

"In the course of writing this book, I had hoped had hoped that working through my own barriers would provide material here. In retrospect, having finally achieved the grandmaster title during this time, I can only say that I am now even more convinced that each player must find his own unique solution to the problem of improving - there are so many things that can be done!"      

-- Jonathan Tisdall, Improve Your Chess Now; Intro, pg. 8


"Educators tend to inundate students with advice and countless rules of thumb. These are propounded to start students up the right avenues. In the end, the best advice is aimed at inspiring them to solve their own problems, to think for themselves. This is the role of the dedicated teacher."

-- Bruce Pandolfini, The Chess Doctor; Intro, pg. 18
