Chess for Beginners
An admired, solid, unimposing entrance to chess. Covers classic theory in enough detail for the student to become a competent and proficent club player, with the use of additional modern tools. Written in (1950)-- could be followed by study of the later great games of Fischer, Larsen, Spassky, Karpov, Botvinnik; hyper modern styles etc., which of course had not yet occurred at the time of writing. Yes, it took me thirty years to study all the details, sequelae, and crevices of this time honored text, gotten at a thrift for a dollar in paperback. Thanks
