3.0 out of 5 stars
Great for beginners,
By true1987 "zein" (Athens, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chessercizes: New Winning Techniques for Players of All Levels (Paperback)
Here is another book from the great chess author, Bruce Pandolfini. This one focuses on short-term combinations and uses matches from recent tournament play, along with a "Little Chessercizes" for children and those who have just learned the game. These "Little Chessercizes" also help with the big ones, providing clues by linking a certain problem or position to its smaller components, allowing the less experienced players to put them together and solve the problem.Certainly, this is a great, unique, and challenging book. However, if you would like to excel at chess - the one book you need is "My System," by Nimzovich. In summary, this book (Pandolfini's) is great for the recreational player, fun for beginners and children, but the more advanced player who is playing for more than recreational should probably skip this book and either read Nimzovich or focus on areas of his/her game (i.e. opening, middlegame, endgame).
