I love helping connect people to resources that will help them improve their chess game and their life. Here are my recommendations for books, video courses and other products. Most of the links are affiliate links for which I will receive a small commission on sales. However, this does not affect the price for the customer and it's an easy way for fans to support my content. My top priority is helping my audience find the appropriate resources to further their improvement.
