The Life-Changing Magic of Chess: A Beginner's Guide with Grandmaster Maurice Ashley by Maurice Ashley
The author, chess' first black grandmaster, presents a basic guide to chess and the benefits of playing the game. He shares ten guidelines for success including "losing is learning," "think ahead," and "everybody is welcome." While this likely won't have readers immediately playing chess, its value is in showing what the game is about in an approachable way and that chess is an inclusive game.
