Format:Paperback
Just because someone plays chess well does not mean they can explain it effectively. Purdy has evidently devoted his entire life to chess. Even so he is more than willing to explain the concepts in very layman like terms. Perhaps most importantly, Purdy's writing style is so pleasurable that it stands up well to repeated readings; this helps to reinforce the information.

This is the best chess instruction book I have ever read. The annotations are deep and easy to understand. The organization and layout are great. I was amazed at how many new ideas I picked up, even after the many chess books I have read before.

This new edition of a Bobby Fischer-recommended classic is welcome on a number of counts: Algebraic notation, improved layout, previous typos have been corrected. Purdy had some firm opinions that did not, and in sime quarters STILL don't meet with approval. But, hey, he makes us THINK ... and after helping us rabbits that is what he set out to do. Excellent value.
