One of the great chess masters of all time provides a systematic guide that tells the beginner how to become an accomplished chess player. While many books on chess are either for the novice or for the advanced student, A Primet of Chess is invaluable for its clear instruction at various levels of the game. The book is divided into three sections. Part I discusses the object of the game, the men and their moves, elementary openings, and rules and ethics. Part II considers endings, the middle game, and openings? By the time the reader has reached Part III he should find himself an adept player.
