The strength of Chess-Steps is that it chops all tactics into little building blocks. Solving a chess problem with a subject is significantly easier than a problem without. Not only are all tactics categorized, Chess-Steps offers a search strategy for every subject as well. Students will develop a feeling for tactical positions, a sense for when to be alert and take advantage of badly placed pieces and weaknesses. The cooperation between pieces becomes more important with each Step. We also offer books to train visualization. Our books are available from Step 1 to Step 6. Depending on you strength and knowledge, you choose the step you want to practice. Every exercise focuses on a particular subject and every step leads you to the ultimate goal: increasing your understanding of chess and thereby your rating.
