GM IGOR SMIRNOV’S NEW BOOK


Today, I’d like to share with you some great news. Some time ago, one of our students placed the following comment:
“I’d love to see Igor Smirnov’s story as a chess prodigy and becoming the Grandmaster in a book or video.
An auto-biography of GM Smirnov’s chess development, witty advices that worked for advancement, remarkable games and encounters with the Champions (directly or indirectly).”

There’s a Chinese proverb:
“If you want to know the road ahead, ask those coming back.”
Therefore, I’ve decided to write a book – hence, it might be helpful for you to get the lessons that I’ve learnt over the 21 years of my ‘chess journey’. :)
