Amazon.com Review
It was inevitable, thank goodness, that the Dummies series would give us an introductory chess book. The light touch is perfect to offset the sober aura of mystery that surrounds the game in many people’s minds. And the extras that reach beyond the well-written move explanations, strategies, and pattern-recognition make the book a real winner. It won’t take much playing for readers to appreciate the section on chess etiquette, for example, or the one on uncommon moves, subtitled, “The Ones That Start the Fights.” Informative tips and amusing bits of trivia add to the fun.
