I've got to put in a good word for this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
After reading all the negative reviews of this book, I have to put in a good word for it. It's a good thumbnail review of concepts you've probably learned in other books, and will jog your memory regarding lessons you've learned in your games. I'm a "developing player," rated about 1300-1400, and I gained a lot by just skimming through, following the diagrams, and figuring out the puzzles. Give it a try!
Dictionary of terms
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Of all the chess strategies and tactical books out there it is so great that the average layman chess player who is not a "club Player" has a reference of terms and axioms used by the "royal" game society to be presented to the general public and the "society".Can you imagine trying to learn the english language without a dictionary.Well,this is a chess dictionary and I commend the author in an age of "strategies and tactics."(For the sake of sales)
