Description
This book holds the distinction and is famous for being the first chess book Bobby Fischer ever read. As Bobby himself tells the story, when he was 6 years old, one day his sister Joan brought home a plastic chess set she had bought in the market and they learned how to play by reading the instructions on the box. Later, when Bobby had developed an interest in the game, Joan brought home a book appropriately entitled "First Book of Chess." It was then a new book, just out. As they say, the show more rest is history. We will not guarantee that you will become the World Chess Champion if you read this book. We will not even double your money back if you do not become World Chess Champion. However, we will guarantee that you cannot go wrong if you start chess with this book. show lessTags

Fred Reinfeld's timeless Attack and Counterattack in Chess starts with the basic premise that White plays to build on the natural initiative that is inherent in having the first move, while Black plays to sap White's divine right to this initiative, only to take it over the moment it is possible. The book is neatly divided into two sections: How show more White manages to make good use of his right to the first move by taking advantage of typical mistakes by Black, and how Black succeeds in challenging that right and taking over the initiative by jumping on blunders by White. show less
