New In Chess group books and authors on Chessable

Of course, we are mainly into print ourselves. However, the content of our books is also available in various electronic formats. We have our Interactive eBook library at https://www.newinchess.com/booksdigital, and on Forwardchess.com, you can get all the eBooks of the New In Chess group.

Some of our books are very well suited for a slightly different format, and that’s where Chessable comes in!

On February 6th, Chessable announced the winners of the 2024 Chessable Awards. You can check all the winners in the 15 categories on their excellent blog, but here, I want to highlight a few related to the New In Chess group.

Chessable Course of the Year – The Woodpecker Method 2: Positional Play
From the report: “The famous Woodpecker Method has long been regarded as one of the best ways to supercharge your tactical skills. But last year, GM Axel Smith published the sequel and it’s proving a great way to hone your strategic skills too.”

You can check out the course or have a look at the book.

Best Presenter – Christof Sielecki
From the report: “Christof Sielecki has been publishing Chessable courses since 2018. His years of experience have helped him develop into a presenter who can explain difficult concepts in a way that anyone can understand. It’s easy to follow Christof’s explanations, whether he’s breaking down a Lifetime Repertoire like the Triangle Slav, or if he’s showing off his famous Keep It Simple series. Christof Sielecki makes chess easy to understand – or at least he makes you feel like it is!”

You can read more about Christof and his courses at Chessable or look at his published books by New In Chess.

Best Print Adaptation – Chess Structures: A Grandmaster Guide
From the report: “Chess Structures: A Grandmaster Guide by Mauricio Flores Ríos was first published in 2015 and quickly became one of the definitive guides to pawn structures. Last year, we gave it a huge revamp – adding hundreds of new puzzles, updating the analysis with the latest engines and adding over 30 hours of video by GM Peter Heine Nielsen.“

Best Endgame Course – Endgame Labyrinths
From the report: “GM Jacob Aagaard and Steffen Nielsen (2022 World Champion of Chess Composition) created this comprehensive guide of 1,002 endgame studies that will take good players and make them great players. The Quality Chess book aims to give you studies that are possible to understand and solve, even if they’re difficult.”
