Description of Chess For Beginners
In Chess For Beginners, Israel A. Horowitz, Chess Editor of the New York Times and former U.S. Open Champion, applies some of the ideas and convictions acquired from 35 years of playing, teaching and analyzing the royal game.
He emphasizes the tactical aspects of the game--how to recognize the big chance and hit hard when it occurs. He also stresses the ideas and methods in opening play, rather than the routine memorizing of variations that takes the joy out of chess for so many beginners.
When you have completed Chess For Beginners, you will be able to play chess with pleasure and some real ability.
