This is a pretty good starter book for those who feel they might want to sart playing this wonderful game. It, in simple language, sets up the basic beginning moves, and covers some of the basic openings. Recommend this one for beginners and for those who would like a good, basic review.

No,I wouldn't say this isn't a good book,but it's not near as good as Chess For Beginners.Horowitz does good elsewhere though,so let me suggest that you draw your attention to some of his other books.-Richard Bryant.
