 Rating:  - A must!!I started to play chess quite long ago, when I was a child. I got my first chess lessons from my dad, with whom I regulary played. Albeit he's not a professional player and doesn't participate in tournaments he's a very aggressive player who's been playing chess for over 40 years. Having recently moved next to my dad's I got the chance to play with him regulary once again.

It is very interesting book; it is like a mini encyclopedia. This book is big, but for someone who knows basics about chess need not to read the first 120 pages. I finished the first 120 pages in less than 2 hr. This book well explains the principle, strategy and tactics of the game. Worth reading it, it will never make you an idiot as some of the reviewer's told here. Rating: - Solid Chess BookI learned a lot in this and there were a lot of diagrams for visual learners.
