The Step Method in Chess is a chess improvement system that takes a player from beginner to a expert level. About the Steps Method in ChessThe step-by-step method (or the Steps Method in Chess) has been developed by Rob Brunia and Cor van Wijgerden to teach children a Step-by-Step Chess Method to learn how to play. A large number of schools and chess clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium use this method for their chess lessons. The Step Method is intended to take students from the basics all the way to the of an ELO rating of 1900 after the student has mastered step 5. The program can take a student up to a 2100 ELO rating once they master the self-directed 6th step.This steps method consists of six steps.Step 1Rules of the game and basic skills are covered in step 1.15 lessons:1: Board and pieces2: Moves of the pieces3: Attacking and capturing4: The pawn5: Defending6: Check and + getting out of check7: Mate8: Mate9: Castling10: Profitable exchange11: Twofold attack12: Draw13: Mating with the queen14: Taking ‘en passant’15: The notationStep 2and a basic introduction to strategy is covered in step 2.

More ply calculations are required to solve the exercises in this step. Most exercises in this level require 5-8 ply calculationStrategic concepts are introduced via the endgame. The TASC CD 2 runs smoothly under Windows 7 and 10 (I do not recall whether I had to set any special compatibility mode in order to achieve that).I think the steps by themselves are great regarding raising the tactical level of the users, but lack in the strategical department. Finishing the 5 first steps is not going to take you to 1700 by itself. You will need a healthy amount of tournament play, informal games, tactics solving and some extra source of strategical knowledge to get there besides the -superb- content of the Steps.The first three are now available as Chess Tutor.
