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 Chess
The 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 chess for beginners. 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 chess level 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.
