Chess takes a lifetime to master . . . but this innovative teaching guide by Brian Byfield and Gray Jolliffe will have you playing the game with confidence in just ten minutes. Armed with this clever advice on moving your pieces, smart strategies and tactics, cautions about common pitfalls, and suggestions for traps to spring on the unwary, you'll be amazed at how quickly your opponents start to look at you with respect . . . or is it fear?
OK, 10 minutes might be a little over zealous to learning even just the moves in chess, but this book does give you the basics you need to play. It's done in a fun way too and it's already been taken by my sister to teach her kids the game. There is little more in here than the basic rules of chess, so don't expect tips and tricks. But if your looking for a simple book to give you the fundamental rules of chess, you have found it here! ENJOY!
