5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book. Teaches chess the right way., September 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of the Russian Chess Masters: Beyond the Basics (Hardcover)
It's probably the quickest way to learn chess, and the right way to do it. Very pleasing to read and full of "Chessercizes" that help you test your understanding of the presented material. This volume enhances your knowledge of the game not through boring opening memorization but through tactics and tactical devices that can be applied to any game at anytime. won't believe how it will improve your game and playing style as well as your appreciation for the fine art of chess.
