Book Review: A Good Introduction, Intermediate and up look elsewhere.
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are begining chess, this is an excellent book to start with. It covers enough of most aspects of the game to get you started right. It should give an excellent and solid foundation. I wish it had been available to me 20 years ago. If you are above the level of beginner, you will likely pick up some useful ideas from the book, but most of what it contains you will have learned by bitter experience. The format and writing are excellent. Text moves can be followed in all but a few diagrams without a board, which makes it easy and pleasurable to read. The book contains two errors that I noticed, one dealing with a stalemate and another illustrating Alekhines Gun. Even so, this book contains what a new player needs, and it would be among my first recomendations to the novice. A more accurate title would be a "Basic Book of Chess Strategy."
