Commendable

I bought this book to improve my empiric-learned game after many years without practice. The book describes at detail the strength and weakness of openings, strategies and game closures. It is an excellent choice for beginners and people not so new in the game, very understandable for 2nd grade kid.
Great for beginners, brush-up playing

Very good product for beginners and those who have not played in a long time. You really need several books on chess, but this is a GREAT product.
