Jason Hackler –
IM Levy would probably be a GM if not for his aptitude for teaching. His detailed explanations throughout this book could increase any toddlers ELO to 800 within a week. This book is an absolute steal with the sheer amount of information, the organization for easy understanding and progression, and additional materials included. If you’re on the fence about buying this book, get off of it and buy it.

A gifted teacher with a passion for teaching, Mr. Levy Rozman has written a chess book for beginning and intermediate players in a way not often seen in many of the copious chess books available (I know, I own most of them!). His book is well written, clearly thought out, building on one’s knowledge in succinct steps. Placing interactive teaching examples on the Internet was truly inspired. These learning examples are geared to help remember what he’s teaching being both numerous and actually useful.As informative and instructive his lessons on the Internet are, he has now provided written lessons which is very helpful for quick reference and review.For a through grounding in chess for the beginner or for a well-presented review of many chess topics for the intermediate player, I recommend Mr. Rozman’s book. Actually, I recommend his book for ANY club player.I hope he writes a second!

This book is a new and refreshing guide for understanding the fundamentals of chess, and most importantly, how to study openings and develop a strategy (notice I didn’t say “it outlines openings and strategy.” I said “how to study openings and develop a strategy”). It is THE must-have chess book for the 21st century. Levy does a stellar job at writing in a way that is engaging to the reader. The best part is the QR codes that let the reader practice the very concepts the book outlines! You don’t need a physical board (which was essentially required for every other book that predates this one). Just scan the QR code, and be transported to Levy’s website, where the concepts are explained in further detail, and you can practice!This book is perfect for people who are completely new to the game of chess, as well as those who would consider themselves intermediates. The pacing and flow of the book are nothing short of perfection. And most importantly, it is not a dry read by any means. I have read chess books that were likely written to cure insomnia. This is NOT one of those books.

I am about 1600 Elo and got this book to check out and possibly recommend for my chess club. I have about five bookshelves of chess books, including many for beginners. Levy’s book is the best one I’ve ever seen for beginners up to intermediate. I learned a couple of things myself, and was very impressed with how clearly he explains concepts and gives good examples. I also like how you do not need to have a chessboard handy to use this book. My only nit-pick is that I would have liked the dark brown squares to be slightly lighter, as it makes it hard to see the black pieces on them, depending on eyesight and lighting. Therefore I am only giving this book 4.99999999 stars. But yeah, really you did a great job Levy! And there’s a reason he is the most popular YT chess guy by far.

How to Win at Chess contains a vast array of knowledge and charm that fans of Levy will be sure to recognise and appreciate.It is a perfect tool that is suited for beginners and intermediate players to learn new things and to revise their own understanding of the wonderfully, complex and nuanced world of Chess.

I have not yet finished going through the book, but after reading the first 3 chapters, I’m quite impressed! I really like being able to scan the QR codes at the end of each chapter to get practice and more in-depth knowledge about the content of the chapter. In the digital section I’ve already learned the basic ideas for the italian, ruy lopez, scotch, and london. The printed diagrams of the chess board are also really helpful so I don’t have to use my physical chess board every time I’m trying to learn, which is especially important if you are a chess player who only plays on their computer or phone, which is probably a lot more common nowadays. I’ll come back to this review once I’ve finished the book and also give an ELO progress update 🙂

Levy did a great job making a book that will help players take the journey from beginning to intermediate level play. The QR code lesson links are a good modern value add. The book itself is clearly written, brightly printed, and flows well from one concept to the next.This is a great gift for anyone looking to start a chess journey, and gave me, as a viewer of Levy’s GothamChess channel on YouTube, greater insight into his content and into some of the baseline knowledge he hopes that most of his viewers will have.

I am a 1300 rapid player on Chess.com the only benefit I received from the book was some opening lines and one minor endgame pattern with the queen. I feel like I was slightly mislead due to the front cover of the book mentioning “for beginners and beyond”. I will still give it a 5 star because I believe it is perfect for beginner players it is clear, concise and innovative especially with the QR codes which offer online applications of the concepts you learn from the book. I believe this is a great gift for someone interested in learning chess.

Rozman’s first book is a real hit, I believe. It is the best book I have seen especially for beginners. His explanations of the point of each practice session puzzle is clear, as are his explanations of tactical and positional play. The only problem I had with the book is that I don’t have a “smart-phone” so I can’t use his QR (?) pics at the end of each session.

To start, this book reminds me of a modern high school text book in how it looks, and reads. I mean that in the best way. In fact, schools with chess programs could easily use this book to build a lesson plan. It includes highlights, summaries, illustrations, and fun facts throughout each lesson. There’s a section that defines key terms and an index in the back, even. The pages are thick and the cover is stout. I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone starting out, having trouble conceptualizing ideas, or in need of a refresher in foundational material. Personally, I’m hoping for a second installment.
