Book Reviews of How To Play Good Opening Moves (Chess)
Book Review: SUPERB instructional book marred by serious typographical errors!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pedagogically this book is as good as one can ask for. The explanations of the opening principles are clear, concise and brought to life in the examples chosen for the text.
The chapters on the very first moves that either side can make are WONDERFUL!
Why not 5 stars then? There are WAY to many typos, and it gets worse as you go along. If you can handle the typos you can be rest assured of a quality book! However, McKay publishing should be ashamed of themselves for the typos. If it was still in print I would be asking THEM for my money back.
