THE SERIES IN GENERAL:There are currently three books published in what I consider to be the best series of chess books for ages 9 on up (this would include adults too!) that take an absolute beginner to an advanced level of play. I have noted that there will be a fourth, most advanced book in this series called "More Unbeatable Chess for Juniors" (expanding on "Unbeatable Chess Lessons for Juniors").BACKGROUND:"Winning Chess Tournaments for Juniors" was published in 2004 and is the third book in the series. The author, Robert Snyder's students won numerous National Championships. After doing research I found that the author is a strong master, rated USCF over 2300 and internationally over 2400. He also has produced 36 first place championship winners at national championships (a national record). His chess teams travel around the world and nation on a regular basis and compete. The author has extensive experience in introducing chess to beginners holding another record by having taught over 170,000 children at school programs over many years.STRUCTURE OF "WINNING CHESS TOURNAMENTS FOR JUNIORS": This is the perfect book to continue from the author's "Chess for Juniors" book. It is designed as a training guide and also provides a lot of structured material for study to compliment the other books in the series.There are eight chapters many of which cover a lot of material not seen in other books. This makes "Winning Chess Tournaments for Juniors" very unique! I consider this a good thing. I found that this book is just packed with information that will help you do much better in tournaments, and in many cases can make the difference between you becoming a great player or lapsing into a disorganized state.
