Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess

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.

Excellent chess book for beginners. Don't go by the negative comments. If you're interested in chess, this is an essential book for your chess library.

Good book

The book contains lot of printing errors. Pages are not in order. Some are just upside down. A very bad quality product.

I expected to learn a little from the book, but it is a simple problem book. I am rated 1300 ELO on chess.com and the book wasn't useful at all.However, for a beginner it is a very good book. I believe I will put this book in the hands of my children when they will reach the age!

Pages are printed one side all the way to the end and then reverse pages printed on the other side. So you end up having page number 10 and 345 printed alongside.

Pages are printed upside down and are not in order

Nice and Very useful to learn different moves. Thanks

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.

I bought this book for an elderly relative who has never played chess, and he was very impressed with it, and so was I. He has played less than 10 games, and his game has improved significantly. We love the diagrams, and the brevity of the authors' language. Thank you for this amazing book. It keeps our brains ''young''.

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.

It's not surprising so many people bashed this book. The title says Bobby Fischer teaches chess but what it really is, is a Tactics guide by Bobby Fischer.It will make you go through many "tactics" problems rapidly, learning a lot and really absorbing the information. I use many websites for tactics and yet I'd rather sit with this book that go on those websites.I think its great value for money and anyone who enjoys chess and is looking to improve will definitely enjoy this book.
