Summary: Great for intermediate players.
Review: This classic text provides a compact collection of advice on chess strategies. A short, easy book to read, the author wastes no time and cuts right to the point in deliviring his suggestions on the various problems one must avoid in playing chess. Directed mostly at intermediate players, the book comes in very useful in explaining the many "gotchas" that inexperienced chess players frequently fall into. This book typically sells for a very low price, due to its small size and old age, but it is certainly as valuable as many modern texts at three times the size.

Summary: A book for those who want to know, WHY?
Review: This is an excellent book for the intermediate player who wants to know why such and such a move is made. The author is very well spoken and doesn't waste time getting to the point. I highly recommend this title for the intermediate player who is still struggling with how to formulate and carry through a plan.
