Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess

Good book for beginners

Good

Before you buy this book, you need to know three things: 1. This book does not have anything to do with the famous chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. He did not write it. The publishers merely paid him to put his name and image on the book. But the book is still great, unique, and is of immense help to beginners. 2. The book does not teach you how to think like a grandmaster, but it does teach you how to not think like a rookie. The entire book is focused on basic mistakes. Therefore, naturally, there will come a point in your chess career when you will no more use any of the techniques in this book. At that point, you might think, "that book was a waste of money", but in reality, it has already done its job. 3. You still need a basic chess book to go with it. This is primarily a puzzle/problems book that you practice on the side. Beginners often do not consider the positions of all the chess pieces when they make a move. They focus only on the piece that directly attacks any of their pieces. As a result, they tend to overlook obvious traps and mates. That is what this book teaches. It is essential, and does a great job of doing what it does.

My daughter loved it. I used to regularly defeat her before, now she wins the game hands down.

Book is one of the best for beginner. I bought it for my kid as ebook was not good for her. I had read it so had no doubt about content but the book received had printing issue, all even pages were upside down. Requested replacement and 2nd copy had the same issue as well. Lower rating is for printing quality only.

Best for beginners. Teaches you the very basics- of the value each peices and their respective moves. PS: people looking to learn the game, as in the start game, middle game, end should find something else

Good for beginners. Helpful in understanding how pieces move and various mating combination. Nothing on openings, mid games and strategies

All meterial recived in good condition.
