Great History lesson along with simple explanation!

I understood the basic movements of the pieces, Played a handful of times since I was young. A recent invitation by my brother-in-law AND my mother to play chess has sparked an interest. Listening to this short book, I feel educated and and much more ready to take on a new journey of learning the game of Chess! Would recommend to any beginner, even if they already understand somewhat how the game works.

Simple, Straightforward, Helpful

It's a quick and basic breakdown of the history, rules, and points of the game. Good for total beginners or someone who is only partly familiar with the game. The end includes a general theory of effective play and a basic strategy to try.

Great for rules and logistics

As far as strategies there's really only 1 basic opening strategy discussed...which is fine for a beginner book. This book does a great job discussing the rules for each piece and the logistics of board setup.
