I am a chess novice myself, but when I read:

Amazon.com: Master Checkmate Strategy (Road to Chess Mastery Series): Bill Robertie: Books

I found myself thinking about chess at a deeper level. I was looking at how I could force my opponent to trade their pieces. Also, I was able to see more moves open up for me. Previous I thought those moves to be bad because they put me in my opponent's line of fire. I learned that it's okay to be in the line of fire as long as you can back up your piece.
