Every now and then someone invites me to a club. I am currently generally involved in writing books and promoting them. However, I decided to see if I could combine my plans with those of the inviters.
I am 61 years old and an international master and a class IA judge. I have been involved in chess since 1977 and have come to many interesting conclusions, which I try to share through my books and other publications. The protagonist's high intelligence and personality help me with this.
Most members of a given club either do not read books at all, or think that all books are similar. This is mostly true. But it does not refer to my books. My books are unique. Why?
-
I publish my books myself because the publishing houses do not offer the conditions that suit me. Besides, they would like to interfere with their content.
-
In my books I only use examples from my games. This makes the examples original and I describe my knowledge and experiences in them. Someone may decide that they want to learn from the examples of world champions, or even grandmasters. In this case, these books are not for them.
-
In my books I teach thinking, understanding chess, mainly through strategy, because contrary to the beliefs of many people, it is not possible to calculate everything. Although, of course, counting variants is the most important.
-
My books have chess musical covers invented by me. On each of them there is a fox, because my name in translation means a fox that greets. In addition to the fox, there is a position from a game I played and a motif from the cover of one of my favorite artists: Cat Stevens, Genesis, Taylor Swift.
-
The main advantage of my books is that I describe often quite complicated problems in a simple way.
-
So far I have published "Chess Master's Strategy" and its extended version: written together with Grandmaster Bartłomiej Macieja (European Champion in 2002) "Chess Strategy Explained". Thanks to one or the other you will learn the basics of strategic play.
-
The second book written by me is "Playing Technique". A manual for beginners: showing how to look at the chessboard, to see as much as possible on it and to substitute as few pieces as possible.
-
The third book that I am finishing is the book "Chess Master's Strategy in Endgames" in which I present a strategic way of playing endgames. Thanks to this book you will learn the basic base of endgames, which will serve you from the beginning to the end of your career.
-
You can read excerpts from my books on my website https://witalis-sapis.com/en/homepage/ in English, German and Polish.
-
In accordance with my promotional strategy, I give myself 30 days to convince you that my books are worth reaching for. If I fail, I leave the club without taking up any more of your time.
-
For people who would like to help me promote my books, I have prepared an affiliate strategy to share some of the profit from sales.
