Soltis Andrew: Reveal Your Chess Style [2025]

Use this unique book to identify your own individual chess-playing style, avoid pitfalls, improve strengths, and become the best player you can be. Every chess player has a naturally individual style of playing, based on the moves they like to play. Some people choose the kind of moves world champion Magnus Carlsen regularly uses, while others prefer a strategy favored by the legendary Bobby Fischer. And some even find themselves emulating the way a chess computer works. But very few players are aware of how these moves fit together to create a consistent, personal chess style. Reveal Your Chess Style begins with two hundred diagrams, each with a multiple choice of possible moves for the reader to choose from. The second half of the book explains how readers’ choices reveal their hidden style, and which famous player they most identify with on the chessboard. The volume also includes a host of advice—on developing the player’s style further to avoiding regular errors, increasing skill, and winning more games. This is a truly original book, from an International Grandmaster and venerable chess author.
