4.0 out of 5 stars Bewarte the notation, otherwise cool, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Beginner's Guide to Winning Chess (Paperback)

Note that this book was originally written in the 1960s and therefore uses the old-style (non-algebraic) notation. Otherwise this is a fine beginner's book with lots of good examples and few typos.
