### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Clear and practical chess workbook
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2010*

This book is a welcome addition to the extensive library of books on the ancient game of chess.  The target audience is the young, intermediate chess player, one who already understands well the basics of the game and is ready to advance to the next level.  This book is full of readily absorbed concepts, such as the discussion in the first chapter about what environment each type of piece "likes" and "dislikes".Each concept and strategy is backed up with a wealth of examples from actual chess games.  These problems naturally build on each other with increasing complexity and subtlety.  The solutions are provided and discussed at the back of the book.Appendix B is particularly imaginative and helpful.  It is entitled "How To Think" and lays out a clear and careful strategy for how to think about the game as it is progressing and what exactly to focus on when it is your move and when it is your opponent's move.  This strategy keeps the clock in mind and provides a very workable recipe for the effective use of your pondering time.Throughout, the book is written informally, with the young reader in mind.  The author never talks down to his audience, yet he keeps his young readers in mind by keeping the discussions clear and practical.  I should note that though I am not young, I found the book a very enjoyable and informative read.  There are no age barriers for this material.For the right type of enthusiastic chess student, young or old, this is the perfect workbook to fill in the gaps in his or her understanding of chess, to provide the framework for an increasingly strategic level of play, and to lay the foundation for years of enjoyment playing chess.

    Underrated
  

*by I***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017*

My general opinion on this book is it's actually NOT written for children.It is written as a "blueprint"  for older players who struggle in finding "basic", general ideas and strategies that are not outlined in more "advanced" works.A lot of the problems and examples are actually quite strong in player strength, more like towards expert level knowledge of position and tactics, if you understand everything and the logic behind each play.This is a very well written book, and it is quite easy to read, just takes about a week to read if you read it all in a few sittings.  I have been reading it for about a month and I am quite impressed with it.I disagree that this is for 900 rated level players.  It is more for around 1500-1600 and even higher if you seek the basic concepts behind position and a general display of strategic knowledge.It is also a very fun and enlightening book to read.

    Strategy 101
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2011*

First of all, I would like to say that I only gave it four stars because I think alotof what is covered can be learned, or should I say, would be obvious by having a reallystrong foundation in tactics. Beyond that I have to say that this book is well writtenand laid out very nicely. Probably the best ' first book ' for someone wanting to learnabout chess strategy. I strongly recommend tactics first and/or tactics along with studyof the material in this book. The only other thing a newbie should know before digginginto this is to have a firm grasp of the chessboard layout [have a good idea of thesquares and their correlating algebraic name in your mind to visualize the sequences inthe text] but that really goes for all study of chess. Only after tactics [tactics!tactics!! tactics!!! ]and good endgame study should you delve headlong into strategy.After this book the next best step, in my opinion, would be Silman's 4th ed. ofReassess Your Chess. Chris Ward's "It's Your Move" series are good as well. Do notbe afraid to study these books as you would any other -- Study the position and if youcannot make sense of it after 5 - 10 minutes consult the solution and understand whatis going on.
