If it was a chess piece, it would be a queen :) August 12, 2001

IM J. Silman brings you a very nice book for beginners and intermediate players, written in clear and simple language. The diagrams in the book are good and clear, the typeface is easy to read and pleasant and the book's cover is very well designed. The contents of the book will not appeal to experienced players much, but you buy it to become a better player, so it's a minor nag. :) The reading is very entertaining and the book covers all three parts of the game. The openings discusses the principles and ideas behind major opening themes, so it's not a reference. The middlegame teaches you strategy and valuable sacrifices to win. And the endgame section deals witn typical fights, such as rook vs. rook and pawn endgames. You'll also get tips regarding psychological aspects of the game and a nice index. Fun to read, very well designed, it will improve your play. I recommend it to younger players and intermediate players. Have fun at the board!
