3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but a bit shallow, 4 Feb 2004

By	JONATHAN BECKETT - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself Better Chess (Teach Yourself General Reference) (Paperback)

This book takes the form of a series of "flash card" style lessons, where every couple of pages an idea is discussed, then a real world example of that idea is shown.

The problem with this approach is that you only ever get one diagram of the board to show the example - so unless you are great at reading algebraic notation, you're going to need a chess set to work through the example.

In my mind, they have tried to put too many examples in the book. Instead of 75 ideas, why not just go for "20 things you should do", and explain the examples much more thoroughly.

Having said that though, it's still a fine book and great to have in your bag to pick at if you're on the train...
