English chess grandmaster Daniel Gormally is a man with a plan. He wants to develop a chess analytical quiz, to help amateur players discover what type of chess player they truly are. While putting together this quiz, Gormally also shares his chess philosophy and his experience of playing chess tournaments up and down the breadth of the United Kingdom and beyond.
If you are interested in a discussion on whether or not you should get a chess coach, whether you value time and planning in chess seriously enogh, and whether you should throw away your recently purchased chess engine, then this is probably the book for you. As well as being a chess quiz, it also reads as an honest account of what it is like to be a lowly-rated chess grandmaster, struggling to improve and gain conditions, in this era of highly paid chess streamers and superkids dominating the game of chess.
Daniel Gormally is a chess gransmaster who currently lives in Alnwick, in Northumberland, England. His current rating of 2424 means he can currently expect no better conditions than sharing a hotel room with another unkempt Grandmaster, and free entry if he's lucky. His greatest chess achievement is writing this book, and failing that, winning the British rapid play in 2024 against an army of under-rated junior players. Probably, his greatest comeback story as well.
