I'm afraid I got to it too late to be of much use but it is still an excellent overview for the beginning player (and a quick little refresher for anyone coming back to the game after a period of absence). I wish this book had existed back when I was first learning the game with a friend in high school. I'm afraid I got to it too late to be of much use but it is still an excellent overview for the beginning player (and a quick little refresher for anyone coming back to the game after a period of absence). The book is appropriate for beginners and more advanced players. Beginners will learn a lot about chess, and players with some experience will definitely revise, complete and put their knowledge in order. Since, the book has a form of a dictionary, it is easy to go through and find things. Some information, however, e.g. openings are discussed too cursorily for me, it just gives you a general idea and information. But that has its advantages too, because as I said it's rather a dictionary on chess practical matters. You get the idea, you research and learn about it yourself. no reviews | add a review
An easy-to-understand guide to chess strategy -- conceptual planning -- has always been the amateur's dream. This book makes that dream a reality. This comprehensive guide in dictionary form, the first of its kind, makes all aspects of chess strategy quick, easy, and painlessly accessible to players of all degrees of strength. Each strategic concept is listed alphabetically and followed by a clear, easy-to-absorb explanation accompanied by examples of how this strategy is used in practice. Such great World Champions as Steinitz, Capablanca, Petrosian, Fischer, and Karpov have used these strategies in virtually all of their games. Now you can arm yourself with their weapons. As you incorporate these weapons into your own play, they will enrich your appreciation of the game and lead you to one beautiful victory after another. No library descriptions found. |
