What is in every book

  • Puzzles from real Chess960 games, not composed positions
  • Every solution engine-verified, so the win is always there
  • Ranked by Elo, so you start at your level and climb
  • The answer on the very next page, never stuffed in the back
  • A one-page guide to reading the moves, so beginners are not left out

Why a book and not an app

No timer, no notifications, no next-puzzle button waiting to be pressed. You look at the position, solve it in your head, and turn the page. That is the same thing you have to do at the board, which is why it transfers.

Try before you buy

The free trainer runs on the same engine-verified pool. If you like those, the books are a thousand more of them, organised.
