Book Reviews of Chess for Everyone: A Complete Guide for the Beginner
Book Review: best book for the beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
The revised and updated version of the old "Chess for Juniors" is now available under the title "Chess for Everyone". It's still the same great book for beginners in 20 lessons. After giving the rules of the game and chess notation in the first five lessons, the book trains the reader in the basics of opening, middlegame, and endgame strategy. When you are finished you will have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of chess.
And the author does not leave the aspiring player stranded at that point. He has four other volumes in the "Chess for Everyone" series. In "Unbeatable Chess Lessons" he gives 24 games with explanation for every move to help you gain complete understanding of the ideas. This approach is continued in "More Unbeatable Chess Lessons" containing another 24 games. You can gain greater understanding of opening principles with "Winning Chess Traps". It shows you how to take advantage of situations where a player violates opening principles. And, to round out your chess education he wrote "Winning Chess Tournaments" to help you understand how to compete in chess tournaments. It also contains chapters on tactics and endgames that give you important basic patterns to increase your knowledge of the game.
The aim of the series is to take the player from beginner to the point of being a very strong player.
With this series you definitely get value for you money!
