I Read a Book Called Protocol for Elo Supremacy

Not long ago, I was that guy sitting at 400 Elo on Chess.com, wondering if I was just too dumb for this game. I’d make the same mistakes over and over, fall for the same traps, and resign more games than I care to admit. I knew the rules, but I didn’t understand the game.

Then someone in a random forum thread mentioned a book called Protocol for Elo Supremacy. The name sounded dramatic, even a little over-the-top, but something about it grabbed me. I bought it, half-expecting it to be just another recycled set of generic tips.

But what I found inside? Completely different.

The book didn’t just tell me what to do, it showed me how to think. It broke down positions, not like an engine, but like a strategist. It made me understand why I was losing before I even moved a piece. Opening traps, mid-game psychology, pressure stacking, it all suddenly clicked.

Fast forward a few months, and I’m sitting comfortably at 1300 Elo. I’m still climbing. Games I used to panic in, I now control. I'm calculating deeper, making fewer blunders, and most importantly, enjoying the game on a whole new level.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in Elo limbo, wondering if real progress is even possible, Protocol for Elo Supremacy will prove it is. No fluff, no nonsense. Just pure strategy, mindset shifts, and ruthless clarity.

Don’t be surprised if it disappears someday. A book this sharp doesn’t stay quiet forever.
