Product Description
This book is essentially a teaching machine. The way a teaching machine works is: It asks you a question. If you give the right answer, it goes on to the next question. If you give the wrong answer, it tells you why the answer is wrong and tells you to go back and try again. This is called "programmed learning". The real authors were experts and authorities in the field of programmed learning. Bobby Fischer lent his name to the project. Stuart Margulies is a chess master and also a recognized authority on programmed learning. He is a widely published author of more than 40 books, all in the field of programmed learning, especially in learning how to read. For example, one of his books is "Critical reading for proficiency 1 : introductory level". Donn Mosenfelder is not a known or recognized chess player, but he was the owner of the company that developed and designed this book. He has written more than 25 books, almost all on basic reading, writing and math.

 A thorough review of some basic ideas August 11, 2010
Good Words
If anyone else had written it, I would have given this 1-2 stars, as a dull and elementary book. However, it is interesting to see what Bobby Fischer thinks is important for a beginner -- a thorough understanding of basic tactics.
I much prefer his 60 memorable games ( isbn 190638830X), though of course it is at a much higher level.

I bought 2 of these. One to replace my lost one...and one as a present for my friend who usually beats me! Totally satisfied with both. Excellent service and correspondance. THANKS!
How did I miss this one? May 3, 2010

I've been reading chess books for years, so why am I just now discovering this wonderful little book? The checkmate strategies are stunningly simple--so simple that most instructional books don't even mention them. If I had started here, I could have saved many of the games that I've lost. The book is so good that I'm trying to memorze it. Here's hoping I don't lose any more "simple" games.
I love this book,third time I've gotten it in my life time... February 22, 2010

I love this book for its simplicity. The book is a collection of simple end game puzzles with the answer on the next page. The puzzles are ordered in difficulty and start at the level of an absolute beginner and progressively get more challenging toward the end of the book. The puzzles are still pretty easy all the way through.
Most of the puzzles are about the end game and getting check mate. What good does any amount of opening theory do you if you can't close the deal? Because it doesn't go into any openings or anything else it's not going to be your only book on chess. Practice makes perfect and these exercises give you just that. I found my offensive skill improved rapidly as I worked through the book. It helped get me thinking aggressively.
I've since found a much better book in a similar format.
