This book is amazing because it actually does what it preaches to do. It teaches beginners. And is appripriate for beginners. But what makes me write this review is that besides teaching the game adequately, it actually gives a framework amd basis for 'understanding' the game, which moving the pieces and knowing a few checkmates will not give you. It actually lays a foundation of evaluating positions so you understand what is going on amd know how to proceed! But what makes this book so endearing is it is written so kindly and includes wonderful anecdotes about the history and its most beloved players, sometimes funny too, that for beginners I can not say you could do better because it will instill an appreciation of chess and also fundamental knowledge.
