Best book for a starter. My 9 year old is really enjoying the book. We just wish the book had been big in size. Its really hard to see in the small sized book. But the content is great!

Damn good

Page sequence is incorrect and orientation is upside down

Before you buy this book, you need to know three things: 1. This book does not have anything to do with the famous chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. He did not write it. The publishers merely paid him to put his name and image on the book. But the book is still great, unique, and is of immense help to beginners. 2. The book does not teach you how to think like a grandmaster, but it does teach you how to not think like a rookie. The entire book is focused on basic mistakes. Therefore, naturally, there will come a point in your chess career when you will no more use any of the techniques in this book. At that point, you might think, "that book was a waste of money", but in reality, it has already done its job. 3. You still need a basic chess book to go with it. This is primarily a puzzle/problems book that you practice on the side. Beginners often do not consider the positions of all the chess pieces when they make a move. They focus only on the piece that directly attacks any of their pieces. As a result, they tend to overlook obvious traps and mates. That is what this book teaches. It is essential, and does a great job of doing what it does.

This is very very basic beginners guide. Some people complaining regarding printing mistake, few pages are printed upside down but this is on purpose writer has explained once u finish reading this till last page then u have to flip and start reading from right side again. I don't think Bobby Fischer has any thing to do with this book. Publisher or writer is just using his name to gain more sale. Regarding this book: absolutely basic guid. Good for some one who wants to learn ♟️ I am using this book to teach my child cheese coz this book has some good examples which are easy to understand. Overall good to teach or learn basics of chess. Avoid this if u know already know basic or if u play cheese at beginners level

In case you are learning, or let's say you want to teach a child how to play chess, I would suggest going for this book. This is a bestseller because it's worth it! Contains numerous examples, and in a step-by-step manner, you learn how to play. Of course, after that, all depends upon the amount of practice you put in.

Sayfaların ters-düz/karışık olması gerekiyormuş. Kitabı aldım ve sayfaların bir kısmı ters bir kısmı düz ve sayfalar karışık biçimdeydi. Yanlış basıldığını sanıp değişime gönderdim ve elime ulaşan diğer kitap da aynı şekilde basılmıştı. Ufak bir araştırmadan sonra bu basımın bilinçli olduğunu öğrendim. Kitabı normal düz bir şekilde bitirdikten sonra ters çevirip kaldığınız yerden (sağ taraftaki sayfalardan) devam ediyorsunuz. Kitapta bunun açıklaması mevcut.

There is a reason why Fischer is considered to be one of the best chess players of all times, so needless to say that the book would be high quality as expected. The book is more a strategy book for check mates than a complete chess tutorial. As you work through Fischer's puzzles, it kind of opens you up to the number of ways you can check mate the opponent. The book is quite lucid and exciting as well and focuses on a few strategies. However, if you are a beginner and want to learn about the game as a whole (opening, mid game, ending), then Logical Chess Move my Move is a good choice.

Some of the previous reviewers seem to wish to downgrade this book. Apparently mainly because Bobby Fischer lent his name to it, though he did not actually write it, (so they say) However I, as a novice player, found the method of teaching used to be very helpful, - sort of like having the teacher stand over you, - in comparison to just reading from the book. The teaching method used is what the writers term: "Programmed Instruction" and for me it works perfectly. Rather than go into long explanatory terminology that may engender boredom through its 'wordiness' the writers give diagrams of the chess board layouts with a single, or multiple choice, chess solution to pick from. This is after you have been taught how the pieces move, (should you need that initial instruction.) For instance you will be shown a diagram of a particular possible checkmate scenario and you will be given multiple answers such as: "Can the rook mate in one move" or, "Can the bishop intercede and prevent mate?" and so on. Being asked to fathom these moves on one page before having the answers revealed on the next, appears to be a good way of learning the best moves, while actually working them out. Needless to say, the problems start off in an easy form, and then progressively get more difficult. This, in my opinion is a definitely "must have" in one's book collection, if you want to get into the art of playing good Chess in an easy and informed manner.

I haven't played chess for over 20 years, and even then only occasionally and to no great skill level. Now, approaching my 60's, for some reason I've become interested in it as a brain exercise. This paperback was cheap and seems to have a lot of favourable reviews so I gave it a go. I can see why it would be great for total beginners, but it's also fantastic for those of us who want to feel good about ourselves - i.e. that our brain still functions at a reasonbale level). I have had great pleasure in realising that by following each of the panels of questions posed in the book, I still grasp the essentials of the game and, more than that, I'm remembering what I used to like about it. It's structure is excellent, and I particularly like the upside down alternate pages...it might seem quirky but it means that all answers to each question posed cannot be glanced at on the open pages...you have to turn over the page if you want to cheat! Maybe only a chess player of repute would come up with that...or it's very common in these kind of books and I'm just poorly read. Overall, for a book from someone considered by many to be the greatest ever chess player, it is entirely unpatronising to us chess neanderthals and it has raised my interest in the game to a new level. For those who are more advanced or even frequent players for fun, this book maybe a little too basic, but for total beginners or those who have been away from the game for years, it's a great way to become absorbed.
