Beginners. Your First Book
I am a 800 rated player in chess.com. After going through tons and tons of recommendation and reviews, I finally bought this book. Chess books are often too deep for beginners but this book is just perfect. An actual chess board is required to learn through the 33 games. As a beginner its very hard to witness or see some chess moves that are brilliant. This book can give you that feeling. Go for this book. its really good. Have you ever seen that when a master makes a spectacular move and people get crazy on how amazing move he made and you don't understand what happened. This book can give you that feeling of awesomeness. After playing through every game in this book, I am like "o my god! That's was awesome" which makes you love and appreciate chess more. I have also learned to be patient and am able to control my emotions.

Excellent book
One of the best books to start with for beginners and intermediates. Even complete beginners would find the language easy and accessible. Also recommended along with this is "Chess Master vs Chess Amateur" by Max Euwe (former World Champion). For utter beginners, who barely even know the pieces and rules, Pandolfini's "Ultimate Guide to Chess" is better to start with.P.S. The book was recommended as the best book for learners by Susan Polgar, while doing commentary on the Anand vs Carlsen World Championship match in Chennai.

Too one sided and no suspense...
It is the first book of its kind i believe,and not a bad beginning.Its for the <1500 range as the ideas behind for example,1.d4 and 1.e4 are repeated at least 20 times throughout this book,so beginners know why these moves are played.A problem though ,by reading the first 5 moves of each game,you can already get a rough understanding of who is going to win and going to lose.For example in game 9,Pitschak-Flohr,Flohr destroys his opponent and the comments make you think that Pitschak is a patzer.In game 10,Flohr-Pitschak,the opposite occurs.The performance of the winner is exaggerated with almost no criticism being given.Thirdly,the lines are pretty out of date (which is not the authors fault) and you may think that the Colle is the best opening to play as white after reading the book.I can see a lot of love in the book,but there is a lot to be desired.

Para quem quer começar a entender o jogo
Esse livro é para ser esmiuçado com muita perspicácia. A ideia é genial: "veja aqui os movimentos e A LÓGICA POR TRÁS DOS MOVIMENTOS de partidas que selecionamos". É um instrumento pedagógico maravilhoso, mas requer tempo. Recomendo para quem ainda se sente um pouco reticente a entrar de cabela no mundo do Xadrez.

Has Learning Opening Theory Fried Your Brain? Learn Some Tactics Instead!
If you've been bitten by the chess bug, you've probably ordered a bunch of cryptic and dry opening theory books. What comes next? You try out your new opening moves and have your middle game fall apart like a $3 charging cable. Having fun on your rapid rating plateau of 400?Learn some tactics and manouvres instead! The author (as the title promises) analyses grandmaster games MOVE BY MOVE, with explanations which both elucidate the logical rational, and excite the reader!Expect florid language, maxims of ancient chess wisdom, and quotes from the masters themselves in their own words. The author clearly had a passion for chess of which there can be no doubt when you read it for yourself!Here's what you do:1) Learn a few basic openings from other books, or youtube, etc...2) Download a PGN reader app (I use "Analyze This Pro", $5 in the google play store), and download a PGN for this book. The PGN lets you follow along visually as you hit "next", move by move.3) Read and enjoy this book as you learn which midgame moves are good, and which ones are bad, respectively.If you've fewer than 500 games under your belt and stuck in the 400-500 ELO range, this book will give you a little shot of pep. Picture the smile on your face and feel the quickening of your pulse each time you trick/coerce your opponent into dismantling the perimeter of pawns protecting their king.If improving your game feels like dull drudgery rather than epic excitement or a fantastic fight, you are reading the wrong books!It's not expensive either. You know what to do.
