50+2 Chess Quick Wins: Tactical ideas for exciting chess for beginner players

Do you want to crush your opponent in chess in the first 10 moves of the game?! 🤩

There is something exciting in getting a Quick Win in chess against your opponent!

For a beginner chess player first encountering a quick win (or more likely, a quick loss!) the introduction to the existence of these lines and manoeuvres feels like discovering a secret society!

This book will be most useful for beginner to intermediate level chess players, especially those wanting to have fun and learn tactical ideas and patterns that underlie quick wins. In terms of ELO rating, this book will have something to offer players rated up to around 1500 on chess.com, and 1800 on the Lichess platform.

This book will demonstrate fifty (+ two bonus) Quick Win games. This is where a win was achieved in either the opening, or very early in the middlegame. These are all real games between players at the beginner-intermediate level rated at an ELO of around 1000 to 1500 on the chess.com platform. Through these games, you will discover many winning tactical ideas that go beyond the rudiments in the simple Fool’s Mate and Scholar’s Mate. And as evidenced by the existence of these games, these tactics absolutely work!

This book was written by Michael Tam, also known as, vitualis the chess noob of the popular Adventures of a Chess Noob YouTube channel and blog.
