Mastering Chess is a unique book in that it covers the essentials which every aspiring chess player must know well (from Novice to Expert) to reach the chess Master level.
The first edition was popular for some 20 years (from 1985 - 2005) while in print with four different publishers (including Pergamon/Oxford, Cadogan and Everyman/London, Dover / Mineola, NY).
It has been rated one of the five best chess books of its kind.
Each Chapter of this new edition has new material added and the book has essentially doubled in size.
Each Chapter includes new Exercise positions with solutions.
Besides being a self-study self help book, it was designed for chess teachers and chess courses.

Chapter 4 (by Chris Morrison) has also been extended with an additional lesson entitled Good and Bad Pieces and number of additional exercises.
Chapter 5 (by the late Ian Mullen) has been exten.
