Review: Great Book - This is one of the clearest, most thorough chess books I've ever read. If you're a beginner this the best book you could buy. I'm a strong intermediate - and I still found this book extremely enlightening. Very well written !!
Review: Well written and laid out, including diagrams - 11/25/20 - I recently decided to teach myself chess. I found on chess.com some starter instructions for free and decided to sign up so that I could take advantage of the many things this site offers which you can explore yourself. Thus, I also decided to purchase this book (I am one-third into the book and find it very helpful). It is a wonderful book to keep on hand for purposes of refreshing yourself on this game. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone, even to a more advanced player.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A decent book but it needs a few revisions by the author
*by L***D on July 15, 2020*

This is a decent book with some valuable pointers for beginners, but it would be better if the author reviews it carefully and corrects a few errors. E.g., a piece described as moving to square a5 should actually move to square a4 because there is no legal way for the piece to get to a5 in one move; or, after repeated Pawn and Knight captures (in multiple variations of the same game), the author states that only a pawn was captured. Errors in instructional books - especially for beginners - should be avoided because they lead to confusion. Fortunately, there are only a few such errors; but they need to be cleaned up.
