Book Reviews of Chess For Dummies
Book Review: A Bit Baffled by All the Negative Reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
Initially I wouldn't buy this book because there were so many negative reviews on it. I bought some other books that just did not provide the information I need as someone relearning chess that was never that great a player anyway. Finally in desperation I bought the Kindle version. I found the book is quite excellent for someone like me who is trying to take a basic beginner knowledge of chess and improve it.
However, though I love my Kindle I've found chess books don't work so well on it. I do like Chess for Dummies so well I went ahead and bought the book too. Specifically what is great about this book is you don't need to set up a chess board to follow the moves, there are many diagrams that use additional clear graphics to bring up specific points. If your new to chess this is a great book to start with.
