101 Chess Problems, but not for beginners,
By Ryan Ledwith (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chess Problems for Beginners (Paperback)
Hate to slam someone's work, but I find this book unreadable. I'm teaching my 7 year old to play, and we've had great success with Bobby Fisher's book, but this one is too hard for me to slug through. Not tough chess problems, but awkward to read. Also, the problems are too weird, with the king moved completely across the board and surrounded by opponents pieces. Situations you would never encounter in a beginner's world.I just wanted some exercises. College and graduate school never prepared me for such convolutions. Sorry, but a thumbs down for this one.

For Beginners?,
This review is from: Chess Problems for Beginners (Paperback)
Although the title says "... for beginners" sometimes some problems can be real hard, even for the most experienced chess players. If you want to start in this particular area of chess, I recomend, studying first: How to Solve Chess Problems by Kenneth Howard, in this book, Howard teaches step by step how to solve chess problems by theme.

Great book for beginning tournament players,
By
This review is from: Chess Problems for Beginners (Paperback)
This book is for people who know the rules very well and are looking to practice tactics. It's more for beginning tournament players rather than beginning chess players. The book, however, is easy compared with 1001 checkmates, and even harder than that book is 1001 sacrifices and combinations. Those books are must haves for any serious chess players. Get the 1001 books after you finish this one.
