A useful book. The best chapters are: Tactics, Basic Endgames, and the last
chapter with sample games--excellent games to help you.
One reviewer said the author's book entitled "How to Be a Winner at Chess" is a
a better book. I disagree. That book has almost all general comments that anyone
past the beginner stage would already know.
A book not worth buying.

This book alone taught me chess when I was ten years old. I first picked it up when the book itself was ten years published.
I knew no one at the time who played but this book was clear, concise and covered the tactics,language and romance of the game in a fascinating manner for this beginner. It lead me to learn and play the game, and to keep exploring its history and depths through other books and many hundreds of games.
I have this book to thank for a lifetime of pleasure.

I bought this book when I was a class B player (1600-1799) and I regret even buying it. The information is easy to understand; mostly for 1000-1500. The author keeps repeating "for the average player ya li ya li ya this is bad this is good, don't try this, I don't recommend it, etc." So I guess it's gonna end up on my bookshelve for a long, long time.

This book covers all aspects of chess. I would consider this book for beginners up to intermediate levels, which would be up to about 1600 rating. I just finished this book and I learned a lot from it even though my rating is higher. I would say this book is a little old school but still instructive.

This book relies mostly on specific examples of game situations that seem frankly unlikely to occur very often. The book falls short when it comes to teaching principles and general information that can be used over and over in many situations. When I was a beginner, I learned a lot more from Fred Reinfeld's book "How To Be A Winner at Chess."
