The Amateur’s Mind takes a unique approach that most chess books don’t. Silman carefully crafted the lessons in this book after studying his students’ thought processes and identifying their flaws.

In this course, you will learn:
- Common psychological and positional pitfalls of players below master level
- Practical techniques to avoid these mistakes
- How to identify them in your opponents’ play and swiftly punish them!
- How to read the board to find the best move in every position
