Summary: Don't know how to play chess? Read this, fast and good!
Review: This is a good first book. To be good at anything requires time,money, effort. This book condenses a solid beginning to about $7. Not bad! I'm rated at about 1460 and I find the reading easy, fast, clear and accurate! I recommend this as a first book. If you know how the pieces move, try a chess club, it doesn't cost anything and you might make a friend. If it's Bill Robertie, you hit the lottery.
