Title: A great course
Review: I was shown this at a tourney, and the first thing that i noticed was that there was more words than moves. I was used to the chess books that just showed old games with the occasional comments. This book was actualy freindly to the reader. I think it didn't do so much for my play at the beginning because I had played so long that I couldn't get out of my thinking rut. Despite the name, read this thing as soon as you know how the pieces move! It gives a good foundation of what to look for in a game, otherwise you will be honing your chess skills in the wrong direction. This book has given me a greater appreciation for chess, since I'm starting to understand the moves, and not just rotely memorising them. Understanding this book should also help you understand those mirad of chess books with just annotated games.
