How do I get the guide?
Checkout is handled securely by Fourthwall. As soon as your payment goes through you get access to the PDF download, so you can start reading in under a minute.
I've never played chess. Is this too advanced?
No. Part I starts from zero: how to set up the board and how every piece moves. Part II only begins once you've got the foundations, with a checkpoint to tell you when you're ready.
Does it work for chess.com and Lichess ratings?
Yes. The skills are the same on every site. Rating numbers differ between platforms (Lichess ratings usually run higher), but the ideas that win games below 1000 are identical.
Will it guarantee I reach 1000?
No book can play your games for you. What the blueprint gives you is the exact list of skills that decide games below 1000, in the right order, with drills and a training plan. Follow it and play regularly, and you'll know exactly what to work on next.
Can I read it on my phone?
Yes. It's a standard PDF that works on any phone, tablet or computer. It also prints well, and many players like to keep the sheets next to the board.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay $9.99 once and the PDF is yours to keep.
