This Chess Lessons by Vladimir Popov is an English-language paperback focused on practical chess improvement: training, positional understanding and the mistakes ambitious players most often need to correct.
Rather than relying on calculation alone, Vladimir Popov shows how to build a stronger grasp of the game through principles, evaluation and carefully chosen examples. Drawing on his coaching experience, including his work with the Kosintseva sisters, he turns training positions and game fragments into clear lessons for serious study.
What this book covers
The book is built around examples and exercises that help the reader make better decisions at the board. It is aimed at club players, coaches and anyone who wants to develop strategic thinking as well as tactics.
Reviews have noted that it is especially suitable for players around 1600–2000, while stronger players can also use it to sharpen weaker areas of their game. If you want a training book with substance rather than a basic introduction, this is a strong fit.
