Book Reviews of How to Beat Your Dad at Chess (Gambit chess)
Book Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was purchased for a beginner six-year-old who wanted to "beat his dad at chess," but was inappropriate for a very young beginner. Very little introduction, description of the rules of the game, or descriptions of basic piece movement. Book pretty much leapt into diagrams of mid-game board setups and specific combinations of moves to attack or respond as the board dictates.
Not recommended for a young beginner. Working knowledge of the game and experience necessary to make use of this book.

This book teaches the 50 Deadly Checkmates - basic attacking patterns that occur repeatedly in games between players of all standards.Each mating motif is carefully and simply explained, and several illustrative examples are given. A final test enables the reader to grade his pattern recognition abilities, and the last chapter explains what to do if your Dad is Garry Kasparov.
Fun, instructive - and guaranteed to improve your game.
