Chess for Absolute Beginners by Raymond Keene Obe
A new edition of Ray Keene and Barry Martin's lucid presentation of how to start on the stimulating path of playing chess. It features: a clear explanation of the legal moves for each piece; a straightforward guide to special rules, such as castling and en passant; and a discussion of how to begin - basic openings - and how to finish - endgames. There is also an updated gallery of chess 'heroes' past and present, a section on the Golden Rules of chess mastery, and - to reinforce the important ideas - a selection of puzzles (with solutions) to test progress and understanding.
