For hundreds of years, people have taken their armies to battle on a checkered battlefield, employing skill and patience to capture their opponent’s forces.

Chess is an ancient game that allows players to exercise their minds. With this guide, you will learn the rules of the game, and how to identify and utilize each chess piece.

Whether you want to draw the game out to expand your technique or rapidly conquer your opponent to a swift defeat, this book will teach you how to understand and plan your next move. It will teach you how to anticipate and counter the moves of your opponent.

It all begins with the opening game – deciding whether to begin with a Ruy Lopez opening, Slav Defense, or many more. There are multiple options to consider. Foreseeing the opening moves of your opponent helps to setup a counter play and stop them in their tracks. With the dozens of popular methods described in this book, you will have no trouble making your first move. And as you turn the pages, it will guide you through to the end-game.

From pawns to kings, explore the ancient world of chess with this beginner's guide to tactics and strategies, and become a master of the board.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic Chess Manual for all Chess players
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2018

The book was really basic, but the material is all there for someone who never played chess before. I wouldn't recommend buying if you have a medium to high chess IQ. But if your a newbie to chess or your a semi beginner than this is a good book. A beginner will only learn a few new things from this book. For example if you dont know openings or simple middle game and endgame topics than this is a book for you. But if your a player trying to transition from a beginner to an intermidate player and you know all about basic chess strategies etc. Than I recommend getting some book that goes more in depth in other specific chess theory topics. Other than that its a good book that even an expert player can use to teach someone else or use for refrence to guide a new player. The book is worth the kindle price. But im not sure if its worth the hardcover price.
